“Friendly and plentiful staff who know how to do proper hospitality and service, really comfortable and quality-feeling rooms (must stress enough the rooms on the first floor are gorgeous), courtyard/pool/lounge areas are super nice to spend time and relax at, the whole orchestration of the guest house has a welcoming family-type vibe, feels like an oasis within the neighbourhood, charming little bonus features like a Koi pond and pool table were much to my liking. All in all for sure worth the $50/night price in my opinion.”
“The staff were excellent.... i took my kids to senegal... both toddlers by the way... got an excellent babysitter at casa mara... Loved the ambience as well... quite serene”
“Mara and all the staff make you feel like home..frendly clean and helpful staff. Great for kids..specially the patio and the pool!”
“Casa Mara is a lovely little place in the Sicap area in Dakar. I booked to stay here as it was a 5 minute walk from where I was working so it was ideal. Not far from the beach, it is in a lovely residential area and feels very homely. The breakfast was pleasant (the food in general is great!) and staff were very nice. I would definitely stay here again.”
“The ambiance of the hotel, very nice garden to have breakfast and dinner.”
“I am still enthousiastic about everything! Nice rooms, nice courtyard, friendly staff, very clean, nice food.”
“Pleasant calm setting with a peaceful outdoor area. Good food and service in the restaurant. Nice staff on the ground, some speak English. Simple but clean and comfortable room. Exceeded expectations for this price range.”
“The kindest staff that go above and beyond to help out. Very good home cooked food. Cute dogs. The rooms don't smell like mould (which is hard to find in Dakar). Hot water and AC work most of the time (also rare in Dakar, especially at this price point).”
“Friendly, clean, wellcoming. Good location, limited but tasty menu. Reasonably good WiFi connection.”
“The hightlight is the staff, amazing people, starting from Mara herself, and Marcel, René, Pape et Ngone.Great quartyard in the centre with excellent space where to work.Great pool and such comfortable rooms.Best breakfast in Dakar!”
