Union Amical Des Corses Dakar♡

Service: pitiful - cashier: deplorable - karaoke: lamentable. There is a lot of work to be done really, speechless.

DON'T GO! Beautiful place, unfortunately we quickly forget the beauty because of the very poorly organized service. The majority of staff are very unpleasant or even rude. The lady at the cash register (night shift) allows herself to speak badly to customers and to give them moral lessons about their way of speaking and the words they choose in their sentences. We were loyal customers but unfortunately we will never set foot there again because every time we go there we end our evening very angry and disappointed.

Heel mooi gelegen aan het water. Speciaal gekozen om niet in het toeristische gedeelte te verblijven maar meer lokaal. Top om uitstzp naar La Gorée te maken( op wandelafstand). Markten, restaurants te voet te bereiken. De eigenaar heeft ons top geholpen om een Demdikk bus te boeken voor ons naar Saint Louis. Heel behulpzaam.

Great Location, but can do better in areas of cleanliness

Pros: The location of the hotel is unmatched. It is a walking distance to Gare De Dakar, Independence Place, and the ferry to Goree Island. The staff were courteous (initially), and the owner,Jean Micheal, was helpful. When we couldn’t charge our gadgets, he bought us a universal adapter. The free breakfast was also really good. I particularly enjoyed the fresh bread and eggs. Cons: When you need to iron, you have to take it down to the staff, and they iron your clothes for you… which is an awesome service. However, the girl burnt my pants and did not say anything. It was later while I was out in town that I saw that my pants had a hole from iron burns. I would have appreciated her owning up to it. Lastly!! This hotel needs to do better in the area of food cleanliness. Several times, I saw the staff use their FINGERS to put ice in glasses for patrons. The first time was the guy who makes cocktails. I saw him use his bare hands to put ice in a cup while making cocktails for a guest! This is unacceptable, and it turned me off majorly. I also saw one of the young girls in the restaurants do the same. It is appalling (esp in covid times). No one knows where your hands have been! I hope management corrects this immediately. Other than this, I enjoyed my stay here. The price was right, hotel was comfortable, and location, amazing! I will definitely stay here again.

Karaoke until past 2am -- definitely avoid this place

If you're looking for a hostel-style party environment, you'll *love* Union Amicale Norse Hotel in Dakar! Hosted about 20 feet (~6 meters) from the building with hotel rooms, you'll be steps away from your dreams of superstardom at their Karaoke Night. Drift off to sleep to thumping music, the sweet sounds of drunk off-tune singing, and group clapping from 50+ of your closest friends. Our first night there, it lasted until after 2am - so there's plenty to enjoy! If you're looking to get some rest at your hotel, I'd 100% recommend staying away from this place. It's well-located, but that's about it. Beyond the late night music (check the video), the showers hardly drain, the included breakfast is meager, and the owner is a total jerk.
