the room just by the water and the view out over the ocean. Room always cleaned, while we were having breakfast. Good coffee at breakfast. Enough space by the washbasin in the bathroom.

Partly unprofessional staff. Receptionists with chewing gum and not looking up, when one enters the hotel. Taking orders with a toothpick in the mouth at the restaurant. Most items of the menu- or drinks card not available in the restaurant and at the bar. Almost no light in the bar (due apparently to electricity problems). Items didn't get replaced, when finished at the breakfast buffet. Quality of food at restaurant mostly bad (very taugh beef, very dry chicken).

I like the submarine concept and style of the rooms. Some rooms are better than others since, renovations and upgrades are happening. The views are great and the ocean sounds soothing. But other than that staff is excellent, rooms are clean, and vibes are good.

They could pay more attention to some details in cleaning and repair. Like using bleach to get the grout and fridge cleaner. Also using a silicone sealer on some places to prevent leaking water in shower area. They need an elevator. Also I paid online with booking.com but when I got here they said that was just to hold it, so I had to do it here. But online I used my amex card and when I got here they said they don't take Amex :(. I don't have a different credit card.

I thought the hotel really good and the staff excellent. I appreciated the quiescence of the place and general sense of peace. Bed was comfy and the sundries used up were replaced next day. I particularly liked the complementary bottle of water. Breakfast portions were generous. Have a hotel on stilts over the bay was novel and the sounds of waves washing onto the rocks, particularly soothing.

The water pressure for the shower could be better. In general the air conditioning around the hotel, eg the restaurant and the lobby, was a touch too low. It could be a degree or two higher thus saving the hotel money, and the planet. I would have liked a menu at breakfast thus knowing what was on offer. The juices were a touch too sweet - less added sugar please. Fly covers for the buffet would be a help - like there was for the cheeses. More than one hot water flask please. The keycards for the room doors needed to be refreshed daily, there was something about them failing after the rooms were cleaned. Weird.

Nice spacious rooms, I believe all with balconies overlooking the ocean. They offer a very good breakfast (ocean-view dining room) with a decent selection of items including pastries, eggs, juice, cheeses, yogurt, tea/coffee, and fruit. Great wifi. The staff was always helpful when I needed to find a taxi (and negotiate a price). Ithink the Lagon Il is a good choice compared to some of the other "western" hotels in Dakar -- I also stayed 3 nights at the Novotel nearby, and I think I'd pick the Lagon Il as the better value. (I booked the Lagon Il through Booking.com, having tried unsuccessfully to book directly with the hotel.) (Note that Lagon Il is the hotel; Lagon I is a restaurant located next door.) The big "Casino" grocery store is just a few minutes' walk, if you need to pick up some snacks or toiletries. I should give a special shout-out to the terrific houskeeping staff -- I forgot an item in my room, and wasn't able to return to ask about it until almost 2 weeks later. Not only had they found it and saved it for me, they had made careful notes about where & when it was left. I appreciated their kindness so much. Jerejef to them!!

The view was nice this is why i purposely made this reservation. And the people were very nice too.

I didn’t find my bedroom clean enough to begin with.. there was an opened bottle of juice in the fridge. I actually didn’t mention it to the staff because i was very busy to wait for them to clean again. There were no soap in my bedroom for once but there were in the other room i had reserved for my parents.. i wish we were allowed to open the balcony again.

Honestly your breakfast exceeded my expectation. You are set up to capture niche customer populations, like self employed frequent flyers who need a comfortable place to sleep and have a busy 9 -5 during the day. Your room rate is affordable, food in your restaurant is good and values for money! I was coming from Terrou-Bi so the Ship fashioned hotel was not what I had in mind, we wanted a quiet day on our first day and got that from your hotel 100%!

Please change the bathtub into showers period. service the main door entrance to the rooms. the slide door into the bathroom is super brilliant. re-enforce the balcony, especially as they are right in the Atlantic ocean!

Beautiful breakfast options. We had loads to pick from what was offered l.

I really don’t think there was anything we didn’t like. We LOVED everything about the hotel and can’t wait to come back. My wife and I later met up with fellow Nigerians and we had the best meal on offer in Senegal at the hotel restaurant on the last day. The staff were incredibly courteous and friendly especially the light skin lady receptionist (who we didn’t see on our last day to appreciate) and Sidi at the Restaurant.

loved the waterfront view from my room and the dining areas. I also liked the “cruise suite” feel of the room. The jungle-like decor outside of the he room was also nice as well as the lighted stairs and lobby.

certain areas could use some minor updates (I.e the porthole in the bathroom needed some caulking/touch-up paint) but overall I as pleased with the property.

The hotel is beatifully located next to the water. Rooms are build above the rocks, with the sea almost entering your terrace, so nice. You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves :-) Good beds, great breakfast buffet. Also , the restaurant Lagon is just a 100m down the road and is one of the best in Dakar. The city center is within walking distance, or just a short taxi ride away.

Everything is ok, rooms could take a bit of maintenance here and there

The staff, especially at the reception but also at the restaurant is absolutely fantastic. Nothing is too much and they really do everything to make the stay memorable. Khadeja is the best and all the others are great! If you book, it is worth to book a room in the new part, a bit higher in price but totally worth it!

The room in the old part.
