We had a lovely time staying at La Residence. The location in les Almadies is quiet, and is conveniently located near many restaurants and bars by the ocean. If we ever visit Dakar again, we’ll definitely be staying here again.

It is my second time staying there, still as good as the first time. The restaurant options are limited, perhaps they need more staff

Fantastic. Great value. Great location. Exceptionally clean and quiet. The friendly staff are very accommodating. It is a beautiful boutique hotel. The onsite restaurant is very nice and the hotel is walking distance to countless other nearby beachfront restaurant options. Highly recommended.

La Residence is Impressive
La Residence is a great hotel. Clean. Friendly. Peaceful. It was a great refuge from the hustle and bustle of Dakar. I could smell the cleanliness on entering the premises. I highly recommend this place.

I have stayed at La Residence probably 5-6 times over the last 5-6 years. It is a lovely spot close to great dining options by the sea. Some of the rooms are quite spacious. The standard ones are fine. The pool and bar area are inviting. All of the staff are helpful but I would say that most are not very pleasant which is not usual for Senegal which is known for its Terranga. The property could also use a bit of renovation. But I am likely to continue to return unless another reasonably priced place in Les Almadies comes up. This quartier is my favorite when staying in Dakar - quiet, lots of amenities, less traffic and convenient to getting down and around town.

The location is perfect for a vacation. You are close to everything you would need. Rooms are big and clean all over exept the walls. The staff is very friendly and helped as much they good even doh their english is not perfect. Breakfast was good the first they, then they by some reason change it to something else.
Overall happy with my stay and would recommend them for a week vacation in Dakar.
