Hotel de La Poste

Quite atmospheric colonial building, with some rooms having river views, although renovations currently taking place did disturb me during the day (masonry work just a couple of doors away). Staff were relatively helpful, for instance with finding English speaking tour guides. Breakfast was OK, but a bit odd with miniscule strips of ham/cheese and a challenging tea/coffee machine ... somehow they didn't think it would be a good idea to put out a jug of milk for the tea/cereal ...

Great place! Good service and a beatiful building. Highly recommended

Stayed here as part of a tour across Senegal. The hotel is a blast from the past, with the aviation artefacts and history. There are little touches all over the place talking about this past, which is very cool. THe central courtyard is rather pretty with its whitewash and the greenery hanging off the roof and the railings. Our room was on the top floor, which sounds lovely until you realize that there is no elevator, so we had a good workout for the day odd that we stayed here…going up and down 3 flights of stairs. The room was decent enough, and had an extra bed that i used to spread and sort out my belongings easily vs working out of my duffel. The bathroom was tiny but clean. One thing i did appreciate is the several power plugs. The hotel bar is quite a nice spot to get a drink or coffee…although touts do come by trying to peddle their wares, if you sit outside. The hotel has a small room onsite for breakfast but that is not the main restaurant. The restaurant and a pool area plus bar are located about a block odd away on the riverfront. We did enjoy a decent meal there. Though our group was suffering from a bad intestinal bug picked up in the previous hotel and couldn’t relax fully. Overall this is a decent option in the centre of the Old Town, and a good dive into the past. The post office is just across the street, so use the opportunity to mail loved ones a postcard or two.

Fabulous location. Room AC was great. Best shower I’ve had at a hotel in Senegal. Bed and pillows were comfy. Room was clean and had all necessities. Bar staff could use more customer service training
