Hotel Le Djoloff earns praise for its warm, helpful staff and distinctive, artsy decor, with a pleasant rooftop terrace and occasional jazz nights that create a welcoming atmosphere, alongside generally clean rooms that many guests find comfortable.

Rooms are often small, and some lack natural light or feel dark. The restaurant and dinners are praised, while breakfast is often considered average or overpriced, and a few note hygiene issues with uncovered items. Guests also appreciate the quiet, convenient location near the corniche. Expect a characterful stay with compact rooms.

The Djoloff is a unique hotel. It does not look like anything around it, which is both its plus and its minus. It has a completely open plan, so when moving between rooms, one is always outside, but protected. It also has a beautiful rooftop restaurant, and the staff is great. My French is limited, and their English was also, but we each tried and did fairly well. The menu is quite good, with most meals running around $15-20, although breakfast is nothing special. I booked a Superior room which was nicely appointed, with a very small balcony, but rather small. Just barely room for two people to co-exist in and around the bed. Hard for me to imagine more than one person staying in a standard room, which must be smaller. The negative is that it is not located near most areas of interest, so a taxi is required to go anywhere.

Very cutesy, artsy deco space. Rooms were clean - with an amazing shower. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast was always amazing. We unfortunately didn't get to experience the Jazz night which was our main reason to book this hotel but that just means we will have to return to Dakar for it!

- The people at the reception are nice and speak English. Have good tips about excursions and prices. -The view and decor from the rooftop restaurant and bar is nice. -breakfast is not sanitary as everything is open and lots of flies are there. They should cover the food. -Bathrooms could be cleaner. Especially the bathroom floors.

If you want a authentic hotel in Senegal this is the place. Good standard, but it also feels like you are in Senegal. Nice rooftop terrace. Didnt see any obvious options for food around the hotel, but there probably is some places if you search for it.

The hotel was okay. The room was small but clean and there was hot water. The staff on the other hand was not pleasant. The receptionist guy at night was not friendly at all. He had a very serious looking face and did not say hello. The front gate was locked at night and when I came in all he said to me was what was my room number. No greetings at all. I will not stay there again.
