부동산 — Cemp Essamaye

Cemp Essamaye is a modest 3-star hotel in central Fatick, built around a courtyard with a small pool and an open-sided restaurant. The lobby is a tiled waiting area with ceiling fans and a desk where the staff greet you informally. It suits budget-minded travellers who want a clean, functional base for exploring the Sine-Saloum region rather than resort-style luxury.

Fatick 연대기

Fatick was founded as a Serer fishing village on the Sine River and grew as a colonial trading post under French rule in the 19th century. Its architecture is a mix of single-storey colonial-era buildings with verandas, modern concrete blocks and traditional banco huts. Today it functions as the administrative capital of the Fatick Region, with a quiet, market-centred economy. The city is a gateway to the Saloum Delta Biosphere Reserve and retains a strong Serer cultural identity, particularly in its griot traditions and wrestling festivals.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

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

Best rooms to request

Request a ground-floor room to minimize the need for using the stairs or the lift, which is the only lift serving the main block. This will also provide easier access to the parking area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms in the historic annex, as they are only accessible via stairs. If you have mobility issues, also consider avoiding the top floor of the main block, as the lift is the only lift serving the main block, and it may be busy or out of order.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, the address and orientation of the hotel do not provide any notable views. The hotel is located on a main road, and the surrounding buildings are likely to obstruct any views.

😴

Quietest floors

Ground floor, as it's the lowest level and likely to be the quietest.

🔊 Noise notes

Due to its location on the Route de Foundiougne, the hotel may experience street noise, particularly from vehicles and other traffic. Additionally, the lift being the only one serving the main block may be a source of noise, especially if it's busy or out of order.

Insider tips

Be aware that the nearest public parking is 500 metres away at the Marché de Fatick, and it's free but unguarded. If you value your vehicle's security, you may want to consider parking on-site. Consider requesting a room near the lift if you have mobility issues, as it's the only lift serving the main block, but be aware that it may be busy or out of order.

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
