Dakar, SN

Rooms are small and studio-sized. Staff quality varies wildly from excellent to unhelpful, and the hotel failed to address safety concerns for a solo female traveler. The pool is nice, the recently renovated breakfast improved, but the restaurant serves poorly cooked food at high prices.

Rooms are small but clean with decent showers, though some leak. Staff are friendly and speak English. Breakfast is free and good but identical daily. The hotel costs around £70 per night and sits in a decent neighborhood near restaurants and bars.
