Good hotel

Solo stay for 2 nights. Airport pick-up and drop off were done as pre-arranged by phone call. Wifi was good. Bed was OK but not great. Shower had hot water and fair amount of power. Bathroom and bedroom were spacious. Lights and power outlets in room worked well. Hotel doesn't have much atmosphere or decoration, but it works for a basic hotel.

Relaxing place for a few days

After calling the hotel to organise a transfer from the airport all was under control. The taxi driver was very welcoming and I arrived at the hotel I was made very welcome. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable with good air conditioning and plenty hot water and good WiFi. The fridge was well sticked and the street has many supermarket, corner shop within walking distance. Would recomend this hotel.

convienient modest comfortable

The staff was helpful; good service; everything worked but I paid by Credit Card before I arrived and then when I left they ran my Card again but with a different price saying = Oh there are some costs in the fine print so this is the actual price:= I need to check with my Bank to see which price I was charged and hope I was not charged twice: Unfortunately I was late getting back to the Airport and I did not have time to dispute.

Dakar hotel

Al Baraka was fine for a West African city stopover. It was conveniently situated to look around town and other sites. Street food was cheap. You can change money at the airport. Euros are a fixed national rate 655 to the pound at present. Taxi from the chaotic airport will try to overcharge. We asked who would take us for 5 euros and got one easily. Hotel did offer breakfast (5 euros I think) but we just bought croissants at a local boulangerie. A big Supermarket wasn't too far away and there were lots of little 'supermarkets' (more like small shops) We were advised not to go out in the dark unless with a bigger group.

I do not believe this hotel is a 3 stars. It does not have a one star status.It does not deserve Hotel.com reccomendation at all. It needs total refurbishment.I think Hotel.com should delist them.The towels were as dirty as a foot mat. I had to buy my own towels for the entire stay.

Al Boroka Hotel in Dakar

Avoid this "hotel" at all costs. It is terrible in nearly all respects. It is run very cheaply, no regard for clients and is a terrible cesspool within a garbage dump area. One of my most terrible choices out of several hundred overseas. The "restaurant" is usually devoid of people because it is terrible also. Thats why I only tried it once in 5 days.
