I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was fantastic, just minutes away from the main market, Independence Square, and the port. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, and they made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. However, the shared facilities with the Novotel next door were a bit confusing as their services were superior. Overall, a great experience with a couple of minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although somewhat basic, were clean and offered a spectacular view of Goree Island. The service was excellent, with friendly and accommodating staff. The location was fine, with easy access to the ferry to Goree Island and a close distance to the city center. The dining experience was average but could use some improvement. Overall, a decent option for a stay in the area.

The hotel's rooms were small and stuffy with a bad smell, lacking complete shower accessories and other essential items like a comb, toothbrush, and toothpaste. However, they were clean and comfortable, similar to other Ibis hotels. The service was friendly and accommodating despite language barriers, providing helpful assistance in solving issues. The location was perfect for exploring major tourist attractions and the downtown area, although better clarity on shared facilities with the neighboring Novotel is needed. The dining experience offered varied and fresh options on different days, with easily accessible amenities and prime steaks. Overall, the facilities were good, but a bit lacking in variety.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were functional, they lacked certain essentials like bottled water and had a stuffy atmosphere that needs improvement. On the bright side, the service was amazing, especially thanks to Khaditja who went above and beyond to assist me with my airline bookings. The location was decent, with a safe feel and proximity to the ferry to Goree. The dining experience was hit or miss, with varied options but some repetitive items. The facilities were average but could use some enhancements.
