The Savana is a good quality, no-frills hotel on the isolated southern tip of the Dakar peninsula, and with rooms over £100 per night, I think rather expensive. The room was rather dated, with a noisy air-conditioner, leaking water onto the floor. There were no toiletries provided. On the plus side, the rooms were of a reasonable size, en-suite, and... More

The hotel is undergoing renovations but they aren't disruptive and if anything, it was exceptionally quiet, with good service. A lovely location with extensive property including Olympic-size pool (unheated so a little chilly), small sandy beach, good snack bar with long hours and room service, restaurant overlooking the sea. Wifi doesn't really work but supposed to be improved. Computer at... More

During my journey in Senegal I had the occasion to stay during 2 nights in this hotel. Even if this luxurious hotel does look a bit old fashioned, I really appreciated its calm atmosphere that contrasted a lot with the noise and the dust that are everywhere else in the city. I had some problems with the air con though,... More

This hotel is a little bit farther than what I would go for next time (Almadie neighbourhood for sure), but it's got an olympic size pool and a beautiful restaurant overlooking the beach. It gets crowded on Sunday, rooms are soc-realistic expression of the late 1970-ties but clean and generally OK for the price you pay. Breakfast is good only... More

We stayed here on two occasions over the space of a month and were very happy with the hotel both times. The swimming pool is huge and very well cared for and the food at both the bar and the restaurant is excellent with the bar, in particular, offering very good value. The buffet breakfasts were great with a huge... More

I eat here in February 2009 and thought the Savannah had a lovely atmosphere. Apparently the rooms are not much good but this hotel is much nicer that the Novotel which is being refurbished not very successfully. The slightly out of the city centre location does it for me

Same experience as others during same periods: stolen belongings from within the room's safe... Personel looks nice at first look but you shouldn't trust them. Same for management. Avoid.

First nigth arrived hotel was stolen of brifcase, wallet, and mobile phone. While I was sleeping somebody entered in my room. I suspect it was hotel personel. No assistance was provide to me by any of the hotel including director. Instead they investigated me. It was avery nasty experience. I do not suggest to get in it.

The hotel is near the water and has wonderful views from many of the rooms. The pool is very long; the beach is non existent. While the rooms are small, they are adequate. Service is excellent, as is the food. It is our impression that Europeans come here for a holiday.
