Ok for one night.
Stayed in group room for one night. Bathroom area was less than desirable. Staff is very nice. Breakfast was ok, bread and spreads. Easy to get a taxi in the area.

Good location- great transportation in the area. If you are a non-smoker do not sit in the courtyard too long- many people smoke. However, there is no smoking in the bedrooms which is great. Rooms sometimes get hot even with an oscillating fan. Flies during meals can be a nuisance, but the staff is very accommodating and the turtles are super friendly.

A great location and place
I stayed here on a few day trip to Senegal. I was quite impressed with the entire place. The neighborhood of Yoff is a nice and special place, and it is not too far from the city center. The room was nice, and had western appliances. Additionally, there are mosquito nets and a good and working fan. The included breakfast is good.

Easy location, affordable and friendly
Via is a good option for a budget traveler in Dakar, where lodging is rather expensive. Far from the center of town, it is is still easy to get a taxi right in front of the hotel at any time. They give you a nice breakfast and the courtyard area is a nice place to sit, although cushions are in need of an upgrade. The room was fine, slightly damp and humid but clean and with a bathroom in the room. Nothing fancy but a pleasant stay.

It is perfectly located in a great neighborhood.
I was looking around on hostel world for a good, cheap place to stay, but came across this hotel/hostel online. It is amazing. I can not recommend it enough. The staff was great and helped with organizing three great tours, I highly recommend them. They helped with airport pickup as well, and always negotiated a good taxi rate for me in the city as well.

Comme à la maison!
L'hotel est mignon et agréable. Les chambres sont simples, joliment décorés et on s'y sent bien, la literie est correcte. Les chambres ont des mousticaires et aussi un ventilateur. Il n'y a pas d'eau chaude comme beaucoup d'endroits au Senegal, si vous voulez on peut vous réchauffer un seau d'eau à la reception, experience 100% made in Senegal car les maisons, (du moins celles que j'ai vues) n'ont pas d'eau chaude (vous êtes dans un pays chaud). La terrasse est un endroit convivial où rencontrer les autres voyageurs. Je remercie le staff de l'hôtel et la patronne car ils sont vraiment très gentils et m'ont très bien accueillie, ils m'ont renseignée sur les lieux touristiques, sur les transferts aeroport et ils sont à l'écoute de leurs clients. On se sent comme à la maison!
