Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The villa is really spatious and the patio with kitchen is comfortable and cozy. The villa is close to the bus terminal where you can easily find taxi to move around the city. The district is safe and quiet. The mango tree provides Mangos and shadow area

    6000cfa for a dorm , that's the only reason the hostel gets customers because this is the cheapest in dakar. But be ready for the ridiculous place.

    Great and helpful stuff. When I was a bit sceptical how to travel as a solo female, Ruth took the time to explain to me where to travel and how. Everybody of the stuff was very nice. Great location, 300m from the beach. Enclosed quarter, so it's safe. Restaurants close by.

    You can't beat the price and location of this hostel if you're a backpacker. Sure, it's a bit worn, but cleaning of the bathrooms for dorm sleepers was daily. Staff helped me with use of local transport. Bus #121 just at the corner will take you to the centre of town and the port for ferries to Isle Gorée or to Ziguinchor, Casamance. There's also a clothesline and a nice terrace on the roof.

    Really nice budget hotel with everything you need. The staff is very friendly and the manager incredibly helpful. Really appreciated the location which was in a quiet neighbourhood. Felt safe as a solo female traveller.

    Rima is a great host. Always available and super helpful. Whatever was needed she provided or fixed it in no time. The apartment is in a great location with easy access to many restaurants, bars, clubs and shopping facilities. It's also in a very safe environment. Highly recommended.
