The hotel is undergoing renovations but they aren't disruptive and if anything, it was exceptionally quiet, with good service. A lovely location with extensive property including Olympic-size pool (unheated so a little chilly), small sandy beach, good snack bar with long hours and room service, restaurant overlooking the sea. Wifi doesn't really work but supposed to be improved. Computer at... More

During my journey in Senegal I had the occasion to stay during 2 nights in this hotel. Even if this luxurious hotel does look a bit old fashioned, I really appreciated its calm atmosphere that contrasted a lot with the noise and the dust that are everywhere else in the city. I had some problems with the air con though,... More

This hotel is a little bit farther than what I would go for next time (Almadie neighbourhood for sure), but it's got an olympic size pool and a beautiful restaurant overlooking the beach. It gets crowded on Sunday, rooms are soc-realistic expression of the late 1970-ties but clean and generally OK for the price you pay. Breakfast is good only... More

We stayed here on two occasions over the space of a month and were very happy with the hotel both times. The swimming pool is huge and very well cared for and the food at both the bar and the restaurant is excellent with the bar, in particular, offering very good value. The buffet breakfasts were great with a huge... More

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

The hotel is near the water and has wonderful views from many of the rooms. The pool is very long; the beach is non existent. While the rooms are small, they are adequate. Service is excellent, as is the food. It is our impression that Europeans come here for a holiday. More

The hotel has its good parts and bad ones. The good parts: - the view - excellent (on the ocean side) - the gardens inside the hotel perimeter - close to city center - the pool is clean and the pool-bar is good - the personnel is very nice - there is an exchange office at the reception - there...

We stayed here for three nights to relax after running a workshop at the Novotel in Dakar. This is a much nicer hotel with character and extremely friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The rooms are small and in need of a lick of paint here and there. Towels are slightly threadbare but clean. But the main feature is the... More
