What Guests Say
Beautiful hotel and a nice pool, good breakfast and comfortable beds. The staff although not that friendly (perhaps because I didn't speak French and we had some communication issues) they still were very helpful and accomodated my random requests etc. The restaurant at the roof serves really good food and has friendly staff working there. There are lots of banks and a supermarket in close distance and taxi wasn't that expensive to take anywhere. Relatively quiet neighbourhood.

Casa Mara is truly an oasis in Dakar. The rooms are lovely, the staff efficient and the benefits of having a nice pool on site and a restaurant incalculable. If you are a first time visitor to Dakar you might want to consider being in Plateau where everything is in walking distance, but it's only a short taxi ride to get there from CM so even then I recommend it. But certainly, if you don't need to do the general sight seeing stuff, Casa Mara is a fabulous place to be. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere; the food is good if not outstanding. But I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when visiting from now on.

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.

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 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.

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.

It's a beautiful hotel located in a good location. Was quiet, clean and comfortable. Loved the courtyard with trees which provided lots of shade and there were many beautiful little birds. The breakfast was good. There is a restaurant on the rooftop which serves good food too. And their sangria is delicious!

Oasis from Dakar in general. We were forced by cancelled flights to stay here another 2 nights, and were lucky enough to get a room. Great staff, always helping us. Breakfast was especially good. We like the room, really liked the bathroom. Rooftop restaraunt was great, food was good, the place had atmosphere also.

The lovely inner courtyard is great for both working and relaxing and it stays cool even on a very hot day. The rooftop terrace is a delight. The staff is lovely, welcoming and very helpful about anything you may need. It’s very safe. The AC and wifi worked really well (the latter is not easy to find in Dakar).
