Hotel La Residence

Architectural charming hotel, from fiftie's, situated in the heart of the historic island.

No recommendation. Very overpriced.

Reviewed By dorindet

Quite overpriced hotel experience. We had a room for two on the third floor with bad WiFi connection for 46000 and totally overpriced breakfast for 11000 per person per breakfast. Simple shower with mold. Hard pillows. No recommendation or check very well beforehand. And skip the breakfast. We payed about the same for dinner.

Glamshackle historic hotel in central Saint Louis

Reviewed By W674RTnm

While this hotel isn't as modern or refined as many of the newer buildings on the peninsula, you can't do better for a truly character-full stay right in the centre of old town with stunning views over the bridge and river. Rooms are simple and super-clean and the staff are so welcoming and warm. I love the central courtyard with it's (surely record-breaking) single-palm-garden. Despite being on the main road, the hotel always has an air of tranquillity, perfumed with it's special incense. I usually go elsewhere for breakfast, but love to sit on the leafy veranda in the evenings for drinks and often pop over the road to use the pool when I'm staying. It's old and pretty rustic these days (the indoor bar has some questionable taxidermy decor, so maybe don't peer into the gloom too hard) but that's part of it's charm! Saint Louis has such vibrant history, and staying at this hotel places you right in the centre of it.

Hotel Diamarek on the beach

Located on the tongue of Barbary in Saint-Louis, on the beach, our hotel offers singles, doubles or two-bedroom bungalows. With a capacity of 60 people, you have all the services of a hotel with a family welcome.

FRIENDLY

Reviewed By alfred-mounter

Very friendly management and staff. The road to go there is passing by the picturesque fishermen village, might be scary for someones... The hotel is located on the beach but note that you can't enjoy warm temperature all year round there. The bungalows are not at all brand new, but if you are looking for a Robinson experience you will be satisfied !

Centrally located but a bit shabby

Reviewed By DaSola

I stayed at Hotel du Palais instead of Hotel de La Poste because it was slightly cheaper and because I like to give smaller, lesser-know hotels a chance, as oftentimes they are much better and a great deal for the price. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case in this instance. The interior of the hotel, as well as my room, was shabby. Worse yet, my room didn't get cleaned at all while I was there. Breakfast was good, and there was a night receptionist who was friendly and was patient with my broken French, but otherwise the staff was distant. I recommend that you splurge and stay at the historic Hotel de La Poste. I kicked myself for not doing so. I also kicked myself for touring Langue de Barbarie with Djiby Tourisme, whose owner I met in the hotel's restaurant. The tour was expensive for what it was and there was no English-speaking guide.

The owner does not care about his guests

Reviewed By damienbX8137YF

We where looking forward to attending the Saint Louis Jazz Festival, everything planned and great company. We booked 4 rooms for 8 people at the Siki hotel 6 month in advance, really looking forward to a great weekend as the photos on their website looked great. Avoid the hotel at any cost, the owner does not care about his customers, the rooms are substandard and we have had no water for most of the first 2 days. The breakfast is a joke, we could not even finish eating our first breakfast as the tomatoes where rotten, the ham from the cheapest supplier made in Senegal. We traveled with kids and where never able to get a table in the hotel restaurants as the hotel owner priorities outside bookings vs taking care of their clients. While Senegal welcomes foreigners to open Businesses in Senegal, let`s make sure those that do get an opportunity are professional.

Fantastic location next to river and amazing food

Reviewed By beachbummer75

We stayed for a night here after Saint Louis as we wanted more time at the bird park Location was great right next to the river so we could take the inflatable kayak to explore the river front, villages, flora and fauna We had a room next to river - windy, spacious and filled with nice art pieces plus hot water :) Food was really good I had grilled capitaine and husband had beef we took the chocolate dessert which was nice Hosts were really chatty and attentive Only pointers 1. Room was old - lots of cobwebs, some part of ceiling and wall crumbling. Bed was short for my 1.8m husband his legs was sticking out . Towels had a strange smell. Doors didn’t work very well 2. They could have offered some activities eg kayak, cycling etc for guests Overall still a nice quaint location but would be better if the fixes were done

Enjoyed my two nights in Podor at Sunu Keur . Clean, comfortable, colorful rooms, a lovely open courtyard, a spacious rooftop deck for evenings and strong wifi throughout the property. Management on site helpful, friendly and always available. Oh! liked that my laundry was cleaned and returned within 1/2 day. In this price category - highly recommend.

Campement Lodge Ocean & Savane

A calm and quiet place where you can practice sport and activities is expecting you. This small and charming “campement”, perfectly integrated in its environment is located on a strip of sand between River Senegal and Atlantic Ocean. It is about 20 km away from Saint-Louis, former capital of Senegal. Breaking for a while the stressful urban rhythm, walking along the beach or the waterside, here it is possible!

Worst experience in Saint-Louis!

Reviewed By YourLocalNomad

A friend who used to go to the lodge often for an afternoon drink followed by dinner suggested we do the same when we were in Saint-Louis. After driving for an hour from La Residence where we were staying (Ocean & Savane is very far from the main island and the bulk of the road was a dirt road back then), we arrived on-site just in time to catch the sunset. As we were walking towards the gate, a lady who was either the manager or the owner parked right by the door, jumped out of her car and started yelling at us: "We don't want people like you here!, "Go back to wherever you came from!", "We only allow civilized people in!". A friend and the lady started screaming at each other as the rest of us were all in shock... I remained calm the whole time and tried to understand why this lady was vociferating these atrocities to us but she was so angry and hysterical that she couldn't even voice why. She then turned back to my friend and yelled that she was "dressed like a whore" and that we should "aller voire ailleurs", which literally translates to "go see somewhere else" but means "go f*** yourself". Then she said she would "call the Gendarmes" (a special police unit) if we didn't vacate the premises and that we "played loud music the whole way there like savages". Now, I want to give this lady the benefit of the doubt, but it's hard to think of a reason other than she saw a group of young black people playing music (in their own car!) and didn't like it. It's hard to think that this wasn't racially motivated. In any case, this should never happen to clients or anyone else for that matter. The security guard at Ocean & Savane was very unphased by the lady's despicable behavior. He was trying to find excuses for her, first saying that she had "a long day" but then saying "she was under a lot of stress". As if he was used to her throwing tantrums. Upon returning to La Residence, still shocked by our encounter, we found the hotel's owner in the lobby and told him about it. He feined compassion but didn't seem surprised at all. We later learned that La Residence and Ocean & Savane are owned by the same family. We're all well-educated, well-behaved, and well-spoken people. And had we not been, it still wouldn't condone such appalling behavior. My friend who used to go there often was with us and he's never had issues there. On the contrary, he brought them a lot of clients because he'd invite all his friends who visiting to catch the sunset there. This was such a traumatizing experience. Wouldn't want that to ever happen to anyone.

This guesthouse has surely seen better days in the past! Rooms are nice, but the swimming pool is half empty and dirty, without mentioning the bad condition of sun umbrellas and beds... breakfast is very and the staff is not addressing a word or a smile to the guests. The huge white beach in front is an open landfill site: such a pity!
