Good hotel
Solo stay for 2 nights. Airport pick-up and drop off were done as pre-arranged by phone call. Wifi was good. Bed was OK but not great. Shower had hot water and fair amount of power. Bathroom and bedroom were spacious. Lights and power outlets in room worked well. Hotel doesn't have much atmosphere or decoration, but it works for a basic hotel.

Relaxing place for a few days
After calling the hotel to organise a transfer from the airport all was under control. The taxi driver was very welcoming and I arrived at the hotel I was made very welcome. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable with good air conditioning and plenty hot water and good WiFi. The fridge was well sticked and the street has many supermarket, corner shop within walking distance. Would recomend this hotel.

Ok hotel in downtown
Great night attendant and the restaurant manager served me petite déjeuner after the service had closed. However when checking out I was initially asked to pay 345 cfr and then it came to 1500 then somehow he was asking for 5000. Very sketchy behavior. Overall I’d recommend staying somewhere else.

convienient modest comfortable
The staff was helpful; good service; everything worked but I paid by Credit Card before I arrived and then when I left they ran my Card again but with a different price saying = Oh there are some costs in the fine print so this is the actual price:= I need to check with my Bank to see which price I was charged and hope I was not charged twice: Unfortunately I was late getting back to the Airport and I did not have time to dispute.

Dakar hotel
Al Baraka was fine for a West African city stopover. It was conveniently situated to look around town and other sites. Street food was cheap. You can change money at the airport. Euros are a fixed national rate 655 to the pound at present. Taxi from the chaotic airport will try to overcharge. We asked who would take us for 5 euros and got one easily. Hotel did offer breakfast (5 euros I think) but we just bought croissants at a local boulangerie. A big Supermarket wasn't too far away and there were lots of little 'supermarkets' (more like small shops) We were advised not to go out in the dark unless with a bigger group.

I do not believe this hotel is a 3 stars. It does not have a one star status.It does not deserve Hotel.com reccomendation at all. It needs total refurbishment.I think Hotel.com should delist them.The towels were as dirty as a foot mat. I had to buy my own towels for the entire stay.

Al Boroka Hotel in Dakar
Avoid this "hotel" at all costs. It is terrible in nearly all respects. It is run very cheaply, no regard for clients and is a terrible cesspool within a garbage dump area. One of my most terrible choices out of several hundred overseas. The "restaurant" is usually devoid of people because it is terrible also. Thats why I only tried it once in 5 days.

Midt i Dakars menneske- og trafikmylder.
Vi tilbragte 8 dage på dette hotel og var derfor glad for, at værelset var det mest velfungerende af de tre vi havde boet på. Der var både køleskab og elkedel. Værelse og sengetøj blev holdt super rent hver dag, på trods af al det støv, der blæste ind fra gaderne. Vi brugte balkonen meget, da temperaturen var behagelig allerede på 2. etage.

Prima voor 1 of 2 nachten gezien de goede prijs.
Redelijk maar niet 100% nette kamer. Nachttafellampjes werkten niet. Hoofdsteun van bed kraakte geweldig alleen al door er tegen te leunen. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel en eenvoudig maar goed ontbijt. Internet op de kamer. Dicht bij de haven en dus interessant voor mensen die de boot naar Ziguinchor willen nemen.

援助関係者が多数宿泊していて、安くてネットが快適との評判なので初めて泊まってみました。評判通りネットが非常に快適で早い。今まで多くの途上国でネット接続した中でもトップクラスの速さでびっくり。施設はそんなに期待もしていなかったので、値段相応という感じでした。

初めてのアフリカ・セネガルの旅
私は岐阜県に住む内科医です。甥がセネガルの内地に青年海外協力隊として勤務していますので、彼を現地にて激励すべく初めてのアフリカ旅行を思い立ちました。同行者は家内と娘です。といっても私のミッションは首都ダカールに一泊目の宿を決める事。たったこれだけ。実は甥が空港で私たちをピックアップしてくれたのでした。セネガルという国は日本語の旅行本がなく、公用語がフランス語なので、英語しか外国語が話せない私には完全にアウトの世界でした。ネット検索で貴社を知り、わらにもすがる思いでネット予約したのでした。時間が無く、数日でドタバタと決めた旅行でした。楽しい思い出にて無事に帰国し、今でも貴社のサービスに深謝しています。という事で、ここまでは良し。★さて、甥はフランス語が自由です。空港でタクシーを拾ったものの運転手はホテルの場所がわからず、下町をうろうろし、迷う事一時間でした。結論ですが、運転手にホテルの名前を言うだけではアウトでした。グーグル地図を大きく印刷し、路地を全て覚えていて運転手を案内するくらいの覚悟、タフネス、があれば満点でしょうね。★実は私はホテルでは日本語で押し通しました。それでも、身振り手振りでなんとか通じました。予約のプリントを渡してカード決済が無事に出来ました。★設備はお世辞にも良いとは言えませんでした。水事情が悪く、お湯が出ないのです。ダカールではシャワーができたらおなぐさみの世界のようでした。(つまりはダカールではバスタブ保障があるのは五星ホテルです。日を改めてそちらに宿泊しました。)★バスのコンセントも電源が途中で供給されなくなりました。★それでも　Wi Fi 環境はバッチリでした。★ホテルマンの応対はバッチリでした。東洋人という事で非常に珍しがられ、ちょっぴりスター気分を味わいました。この体験はお金には換えられません。★★★総括ですが、かつて米国在住にて世界を旅する私ですが、それでもアルバラカはエキゾチックすぎました。お金を出してでも面白体験をしてみた甲斐がありました。★★★

Hotel Al Baraka Dakar
Gelegen in het oude centrum van de stad, levendige buurt, markten, enz.... typisch Afrika en dus niet al te proper .... vuilnis alom. Onmiddellijke omgeving is wel verzorgd door het hotel. Dicht bij de presidentiële buurt, gouvernement, leger, gendarmerie, officiële gebouwen, ziekenhuizen. Op 10 minuten van de haven met een uitstap naar het eiland Gorée. Op +/- 30 minuten van de vlieghaven. Bewaking vóór het hotel, bewaakte parking. Zeer vriendelijke en verzorgde bediening, eten normaal "Afrikaans". Kamers op 6e verdiep (+ lift) zijn verzorgd, kamers op 2e verdiep zijn toe aan renovatie. Prijzen niet overdreven. Een aanrader voor kortstondig verblijf in Dakar.
