Convenient oasis!
Super lovely, peaceful and clean. The location is perfect - calm but also very close to some sights and beach areas. The staff is very kind and helpful - they can helps arrange taxis, buses (to Saint Louis for example) and cash exchanges. The rooftop space is amazing for relaxing and some nights has fun stuff going on life movie night. Highly recommend!

Business and Pleasure in Dakar
The Hotel du Phare was everything I wanted for the price I wanted to pay. The location ended up being perfect and felt safe, quiet, and comfortable. There was an issue with the water while I was there, and for most of my stay, there was only water about 30% of the time due to the maintenance of the neighborhood's water tower. The staff was very hands off but easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. The hotel rooftop is also a gem, and a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. Even with the issue of the water I would stay here again when I return to Dakar. I was concerned about the location but it ended up being a great jumping point and was close to many points of interest and easy to catch a taxi from.

Value for location and cost
We had a conference nearby, hotel du phare was a backup hotel. The accommodations were satisfactory. The restaurant on the roof served excellent pizza. I work globally and stay in many hotels like this: clean, quick service, friendly and a working air conditioning. Sadly it lacked hot coffee in the morning, a slight inconvenience for some- for me a big issue.
