Hotel Nina

Great hotel and staff. It is in a very good location. Room was clean and comfortable.

The personnel were really good - lobby, breakfast, cleaner but if you have no Internet in your room, you change hotels. I moved to the Villa Racine hotel and the experience in Dakar changed immediately. I recommend the city, but sadly, not the hotel.

Bad start - booked for 3 nights and when we arrived we were moved to a different hotel for the first night. We were given an option to stay in the alternative hotel for the whole duration, however the room was just OK so we went back to this hotel. Upgraded us to a suite for the inconvenience. Nice size room (after being moved again after 4 hours in a wrong room). Stale smell. On our departure we wanted to have an early breakfast, however the reception informed us that it starts at 7am and might not be possible. Lo and behold when we presented ourselves at breakfast at 6.45am the room was full of guests nearly finishing their breakfast. One final bizarre note. Upon opening the curtains expecting a nice view, we were presented with a kitchen working area from the breakfast room. Activity started at 5am with chopping and washing. See pic :)

Our stay was OK but certainly not anything special. Room was small and a window to a kind of courtyard where people would walk by in the morning. Breakfast was barely OK and the eggs were hardly recognizable. Fruit was good. Coffee was good though often had to ask for it to be heated up. The worse thing though was the very unfriendly young woman at the reception who would never give a greeting and never look up from her phone. Others were fine. Location was OK, seemed safe.

Everything is good, except the mosquitoes! Staff and cleanliness are exceptional.
