I eat here in February 2009 and thought the Savannah had a lovely atmosphere. Apparently the rooms are not much good but this hotel is much nicer that the Novotel which is being refurbished not very successfully. The slightly out of the city centre location does it for me more

Same experience as others during same periods: stolen belongings from within the room's safe... Personel looks nice at first look but you shouldn't trust them. Same for management. Avoid. more

We know the city pretty well and stayed in several hotels during this trip because of availability issues as it was the time of the Dakar Rally. The hotel is popular with tourist groups and... more

We stayed here recently and loved it. It's quite peaceful and situated in a nice neighbourhood on the beach not far from the town centre (10 minutes by taxi). The pool is lovely and the views are superb. You can eat dinner by the beach or have sunset drinks. The rooms could be updated but are acceptable. more

Of all luxury hotels in Dakar, Savana is probably the best choice. It has a relaxing athmosphere, a beautiful garden, swimming pool, private beach. The restaurant is good, and not expensive.
