8/10 Very good

J’ai occupé une jolie chambre mais sans fenêtre. La porte d’entrée est vitrée mais elle donne sur une cour intérieure où les gens prennent le petit déjeuner, travaillent à l’ordinateur ou discutent juste en face de cette porte. Ils peuvent voir ce qui se passe dans la chambre. Il faut donc toujours garder les rideaux fermés. C’est donc une chambre complètement borgne.

adresse sympathique

L'équipe d'accueil est très sympathique. Le restaurant est délicieux et l'ambiance parfaite. Certaines chambres très jolies, d'autres humides, mal situées près des bureaux et de la réception. La piscine était en travaux lors de notre passage donc pas utilisable. Bon rapport qualité prix si vous avez l'une des jolies chambres.

Kleines, aber ZU KLEINES Frühstückbuffet (Weißbrot, KEINE Croissants, Marmelade, Nutella, Kuchen, O-Saft, guter Kaffee, hart gekochte Eier, Schinkenwurst, Käse, Kartoffeln und Grünsalat). Gutes Internet, OhneTV

Un cadre très agréable

Le cadre est très agréable, le bar restaurant propose des produits de qualité. J'aurai toutefois préférer une chambre côté court pour éviter les réveils à 4h dû au coque d'à côté. Problème également de pression d'eau dans la chambre 15. Le matelas n'était pas très confortable également. Mais malgré cela j'y retournerai... Dans une autre chambre.

Ambiance boutique hotel

Un petit hotel à taille humaine qui donne l'impression de dormir dans un jardin à la campagne et pas en plein Dakar. Très bon petit déjeuner simple et fait maison, service aux petits soins.

Riad-like guest house. The room was correct. The staff was extremely helpful, they are caring and service-minded. They supported to find taxis every day of my stay and were ready to help with anything!

4/10 Fair

Staff shouted at me in front of many guests and diners as they had no experience with expedia pre paid bookings. I was humilliated - Mr Sidaty was genuinely shouting at me that he was going to frogmarch me to ATM while threatening to block me from leaving the hotel in the morning ('you'll see, you'll be late to the airport'). He later conceded but had refused to attempt to read my receipt or to contact the person in charge of pre laid bookings as it was a Sunday and they don't work Sundays... Upon requesting a glass of wine after this crappy experience, and with no other guests eating at this time, Sidaty disappeared into the office and for 15 minutes proceeded to chat with the guard, insisting all the time he was coming. I had to request 4 times to get served. Final straw was that I twice notified of my early departure and was twice told by Mr. Sidaty that a breakfast pack would be ready to go for me in the morning, which unsurprisingly it wasn't.

My CasaMara Experience

Incredible service and comfort at a wonderful price. I stayed for 18 days and could not have been happier with this guesthouse - especially with the friendly staff. I'll definitely stay here again on future visits to Dakar.

2/10 Poor

Detained and threatened by the owner and staff

We prepaid via the app but when checking out, a staff member insisted we had not paid, despite my email and credit card evidence to the contrary. He refused to check their email for confirmation of payment. Things escalated when the owner turned up and turned violent, trying to wrestle us out of the car, yelling and then his mates turned up on masse and stopped our car from leaving. It was very frightening. They refused to listen to us or check their email. When the office lady turned up, the owner agreed to check his email, to discover we were right all along and tried to apologise and we were released. The hotel itself was lovely but this experience was so frightening, I cannot give them any more than the minimum one star. The incident should have happened and could easily been resolved.
