Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

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

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) for a quieter stay, as the lower floors may be more prone to street noise from the main boulevard. Additionally, consider rooms on the north side of the hotel for a quieter orientation.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they may be closer to the service entrance and potentially more prone to noise from staff activity. Also, rooms on the lowest floors near the lift may experience noise from elevator traffic.

🪟

Best views

Since the hotel is located in Dakar, rooms on the south side of the hotel (facing the ocean) may offer a view of the Atlantic Ocean, although this is not guaranteed and depends on the specific room allocation.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter, as they are higher up and further from the street noise.

🔊 Noise notes

As the hotel is situated on a main boulevard, expect some street noise, particularly from traffic and possibly revelers in the evenings. The city's coastal location also means that rooms may be exposed to some coastal breeze and potential salt air.

Insider tips

Request a room with a balcony or a higher floor to make the most of the ocean views. Also, consider booking a room with a fridge, as this is a basic amenity that may not be included in the standard rate.

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

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.
