I would recommend this place for anyone to stay at. The staff were exceptionally helpful especially for me as an English speaker. They went above and beyond to help me get cabs and navigate the city. The rooftop restaurant has a really nice vibe and the food is good and reasonably priced. My room was clean with great air conditioning. The room was fully enclosed, so no bugs and the hot water was great. Breakfast included with the price of the room was good with a fair amount of food options. I felt safe and wasn't concerned about my belongings when I left. They have a beautiful courtyard in the centre of the building and I woke up to the most beautiful sounds of birds singing in the trees. My only disappointment was that I couldn't stay at casa mara for my whole trip as they were fully booked. Just a note that they do not accept credit card for payment. They like to receive payment in XOF. If you have a busy work schedule, it is better to change your money at the airport before arriving to the hotel if you won't have extra time (the rates were comparable to on the street). Going to the bank to change money was time consuming!

A fantastic boutique courtyard hotel. The rooms were basic but clean and very comfortable. The staff added extra single beds for our kids (three years old) with zero fuss. Breakfasts were simple but plentiful and delicious. The bar and restaurant at the top of the hotel was exceptional with great food and drinks, including a good cocktail selection. Clearly it is known as a fancy place, as a Senegalese romantic drama was being filmed there at the time! The little pool is a nice addition and a great way to entertain small ones in the afternoon after a day exploring Dakar. This is a little gem - stay here.

The hotel struck me as somewhat like a "resort:" It has a pool with lounge chairs, a outdoor breakfast area with plants and plenty of sun. A nice restaurant is above on the rooftop. It was very relaxed and a pleasant break from the dust and noise of te city outside the hotel walls. The neighborhood seems good - with a private security guard 10 meters from the hotel gate, nice cars on the street, and good restaurants and markets nearby. It was exactly what I was looking for. Access from the center via the No. 10 public bus along the Corniche is easy.

Good location, walkable to the beach and to restaurants [amazing Vietnamese La Baie D'Along on the main road] and a supermarket. Slightly tucked away so sheltered from the hustle bustle of the city. Comfortable rooms around a central courtyard with tables/seating and with a lovely pool to the side. Great roof top restaurant with comfortable seating and an area to watch football! Seemed to be some long term guests - maybe university exchange students? Had a lovely ambience. Staff very helpful with local information and arranging airport taxi.

Aisha

The staff were so attentive. It's a really nice hotel! Keep in mind it's not a luxury hotel, but in Senegal those are far too expensive. So here instead you find a really nice, cosy and safe hotel with everything you need. The roof bar and restaurant is such a delight, especially during the rainy season. You can stay dry and watch the thunder and lightning with a nice local beer and some superb food to match.
