Very Instagram friendly location with friendly staff and a lovely breakfast with an amazing view. Architecture is organic - but to hide sloppy construction, rooms are filthy with stained blankets, trickle of water in bath, stinky, and definitely use that mosquito net!

Great stay. It is a unique and beautiful property at the heart of the old city. Easy access to most of the tourist sites. The room is perhaps a bit sparse against the price, but you're paying for the art and a great view out over the ocean.

We loved the architecture and the philosophy which inspired it. Would you be so kind as to let us know the name of proprietress of the hotel. She is also the architect who designed it. She lives on the property. We want so much to write her a personal letter expressing our admiration for her innovative concepts in designing such a welcoming atmosphere.

Simply unique
Fabulous, uniquely designed hotel, the product of one woman's 6 years of hard work sculpting the place by hand. The walls, furniture, rooms are all designed in an architectural style that's hard to define - Neo-tropical? Beaux-Arts Moroccan? I don't know, but it's all fabulous. The manager Isabelle is a wonderful host, the Cap-Verdean barmen Jean-Marc (I think that was his name) makes his own Bissap and Bouye, the views from the terrace and pool area are stunning. Unless you want some faceless corporate hotel, this is the best place to stay in Dakar.

Terrific building woth a unique qierky design. Stinning lounge and communal areas. Great coastal location and view from the bar/terrace. The antithesis of the boring standard character-free corporate hotel.

Terrible Value for Money
Hotel Sokhamon was hands-down the worst value for the money I've spent on a hotel. It had many great aspects, though! STAY FOR: The hotel is walking distance to Dakar center and has beautiful, unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean to Dakar's west. It's bar/restaurant was always lively before sunset. The design and architecture were the most unique I've seen in a hotel. The staff was very friendly. DON'T STAY FOR: It was nearly impossible to get an internet/WiFi connection inside or outside, and was slow when successful. The hotel is dusty, unkept, and empty; there were two other guests during our stay. After being harassed by mosquitoes for two nights, we asked for a mosquito net for the third night, which a friend had in his room - didn't happen. There's no concierge - the hotels.com page is inaccurate - and you'll have to find your own good time (without WiFi) and ask to use the hotel's phone. The hotels.com profile says that the airport shuttle is 10.000 CFA per person; we three paid 35.000 CFA. We booked a return with a taxi for 21.000 CFA. The hotel restaurant ran out of breakfast the first morning we stayed - we asked why our earlier arriving friend received a larger breakfast, were reluctantly served more items after our query, and noted that a later arriving couple left angrily because no breakfast remained for them. OVERALL: At nearly $200/night for a sea view room, we unreservedly recommend looking elsewhere for your accommodations in Dakar.

Great architecture, reliable quality
I stay at the Sokhamon every time I go to Dakar. Other hotels may be more luxurious or modern (eg Terrou-Bi) but the unique architecture, beautiful seaside location, and wonderful sitting areas keep me coming back. There's no better place to enjoy a drink outside as the sun sets over the ocean.

For the business traveller this hotel is not at all suitable. Very pore Internet, terrible lighting in the rooms. Laundry service takes two days. Service at Resturant is friendly but extremely slow. Breakfast sometimes not ready until 0730. bathrooms in serious need of updating.

Delightfully quirky, but a bit run-down
You'll either love it or hate it. Quirky architecture. Amusing or spooky depending on your point of view. Maintenance a bit neglected so not 100% comfortable. Quiet up-market location away from the hassle, but a 15 minute walk from the action. Steep steps up to and down from the road. Good service. Fair value.

Strange Experience
This hotel is conveniently situated for downtown and has a fantastic sea side location. It is not suited for business travellers. Service is friendly but a bit patchy. Room and other amenities were somewhat played out and in need of renovation. The decor / ambiance and building design is uniquely strange. I would not stay again

Good hotel by the sea
The sea terrace was good with a small but nice small swimming pool. Good service, however the rooms are a bit dark - at least the rooms towards the yard. The lighting is primarily light tubes, which makes the room a bit dull and cool.
