Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Chez moi, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th floor) at the back of the hotel to minimize street noise from Boulevard de la Republique. The hotel's 4-star equivalent, proximity to the city center, and basic amenities suggest a decent construction quality, which should result in a relatively quiet stay.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be subject to noise from the lobby and street activity. Also, rooms near the lift (elevators) might experience some vibrations, but this is not unique to this hotel.

🪟

Best views

You can expect a view of the city or the hotel's internal courtyard from rooms on higher floors.

😴

Quietest floors

3rd floor

🔊 Noise notes

Be prepared for some street noise from the bustling Boulevard de la Republique, especially during peak hours.

Insider tips

Parking can be a challenge in Dakar; consider requesting a room close to the reception to minimize the walking distance to and from the parking area. Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the city center and explore the nearby markets, museums, and beaches.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Airport taxi (prepaid booth) XOF 15,000–25,000

Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS) → Hôtel Faidherbe, Plateau

45 min · On demand (24/7) · 00:00–24:00

💡 Use the official prepaid booth just outside arrivals. Ignore touts. Pay in local CFA, not euros. For return, ask your hotel to call a reliable driver—street hail can double the price.

20 min · On demand (app works most hours) · 06:00–23:00 approx.

💡 Download Orange Taxi in advance—it shows a fixed price and avoids haggling. Works best on Plateau. At rush hour, be prepared for surge pricing. Not for airport trips because drivers often refuse long hauls.

Dakar 주요 관광지

IFAN Museum of African Arts Free

💡 Free entry applies to the main exhibition hall only. Check if temporary shows have separate pricing. Allow 45 minutes to an hour.

Soumbédioune Fish Market Free

💡 Arrive by 10am to see the most activity. Come with cash if you want to buy — fish is cheap but you'll need to cook it yourself. Avoid touching anything unless buying.

Ngor Island Beach Free

💡 The boat costs about 500 CFA round trip. Bring water and snacks — the island has few facilities. Best on weekdays when locals are at work.

African Renaissance Monument

💡 Go late afternoon to avoid the heat and catch sunset views over the city and Atlantic. The escalator up the hill costs extra but saves a steep walk.

Parc Forestier de Hann

💡 Entry is 500 CFA. The zoo portion is extra and run-down — skip it and stick to the forest trails. Bring insect repellent.
