Hotel Jardin Savana Dakar

Love loved it! It was so relaxing, fell asleep to the sound of the palm leaves moving in the wind. Quiet environment, friendly staff! Ill be back!

No water even to have showers with for whole day. Hotel needs modernisation.

Hotel un peu vieux mais avec un charme indéniable

Superb Olympic size(?) pool., with attendant and scrubby towels. Set in gardens overlooking the sea (and the ugly LPG tanker/power station moored between Dakar and Goree) Hundreds of kites soaring at dusk. Two nights at start of tour, one night at the end, Rooms differed. Ground floor room, ,hole in the mosquito mesh, broken hairdryer, cracks in plaster, lighting dim . First floor room ,all worked, not dim, a little larger. Clean bedding, comfortable beds. WiFi worked in rooms. Breakfast :Bean to cup coffee machine, dates(one day only) salad ,real cheese, ubiquitous French style pastries, bread and (L'horreur!) La vache qui rit cheese triangle and chocolate spread!! They also served omelettes on request. Fresh juices baobab / bisap (hibiscus) Restaurant ,reasonable selection of food but as I only eat small amounts they were quite happy to serve "starters" with additional vegetables instead of a full plate. Bar area between restaurant and pool, serves alcohol and will, if you ask ,serve FRESH juices not on menu, ginger , lemon , baobab or bisap Seemingly the hotel has been extended ,BUT one whole section is but a shell, with room doors and windows but nothing else. Staff helpful, some speak English but not all. Location: walk out to the left and follow up to a dingy lighthouse and run down area. Out to the right, walk past upmarket apar**ents and cliff side clubs along to the commercial port area. Neither direction offers any eatery ,so unless you veer off left towards town on the way to the port ,the hotel facilities are it.

The Hotel is well located, just off downtown but only at 7-10 min walk. You can enjoy the view on the ocean with serenity. The menu is limited but the food is excellent. Staff is very nice and polite. Recommended

Very nice property with huge pool. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. However, poor water flow and no hot water. Lighting in bathroom could be enhanced. Fridge in room, however no safe. Decent breakfast with choices for everybody. Close to the German and the Belgian embassy. Recommended.

Enjoyed this hotel very much. On the coastline, with great views on the ocean and the isle of Goree. Food was succulent. The only poblem was the internet. It simply was not good enough for people with a professional agenda.

I stayed here for 1 night at the beginning of a group tour of Senegal and for another night at the end of the tour. Rooms are in ugly concrete blocks. Both rooms were old and dirty. The shower pressure was low and there were difficulties in getting the showers to even work. Bed was probably one of the few things that actually looked clean. Safe didn’t work, phone didn’t work. AC did work. This hotel drastically needs money spent on it as it doesn’t seem to have been updated since the day it was built. There are 2 restaurants both with lovely views. Food was very average and the included breakfast was just ok. The swimming pool is 50 metres long and really is the best thing about the hotel along with its position on the sea. The garden area has some nice vegetation and lots of birds, although I did see some rubbish and old stuff was left in the garden by the hotel staff. A walk into Independence Square takes about 30 minutes. There is nothing near to this hotel so it feels a bit isolated. The WiFi was generally working quite well. With the location and the beautiful pool this hotel could be excellent. However, I was very glad to leave the old and dirty rooms for another hotel.

The worst experience! I can’t believe I paid that much. On the first day of arrival they couldn’t find my reservation. Waited awhile in lobby. I paid for sea view and they didn’t have it then they did. Woke up at 2am or so with bugs all over me my bed, net and floor. Bitten on face and body. Nigh**are as seen in movies. To add to it biggest cockroach! Phone to reception not working. Had to walk to reception in night clothes. When the bellboy moved me, he acknowledged, I know I know the problem Madame. Can you believe it, they knew and they put me there. Long story short no apology from reception finally after several tries found manager who offered meal vouchers $15 or so, not even one night! Will add pictures.
