4/5
I recently stayed at the International VDN Hotel Dakar during my trip to Senegal and I must say I was quite impressed. The hotel is situated in a great location and offers easy access to various tourist attractions, restaurants, and shops in the area. The hotel staff was welcoming and friendly, and made sure that all my needs were taken care of during my stay. The rooms were spacious, clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities such as comfortable beds, air conditioning, and high-speed internet. I also appreciated the lovely views of the city from my room. The hotel offers a range of facilities such as a restaurant, bar, and swimming pool. I particularly enjoyed the restaurant's menu, which offered a variety of local and international dishes that were delicious and well-presented. The hotel also has a gym and a spa where guests can relax and unwind. One of the highlights of my stay at the International VDN Hotel Dakar was the excellent customer service. The hotel staff was always ready to assist with any queries or requests that I had, and their professionalism and attention to detail were impressive. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at the International VDN Hotel Dakar and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Senegal.

Nice staff. The place can use some upgrades (I’d recommend plants and an improved seating area). Also, the lobby entrance is a bit hidden from the Main Street. The cleaning staff is amazing and the breakfast is good. Some daily meal variety would be nice.
