Hotel le Trarza

Stayed here as part of tour across Senegal. Arrived at the hotel and were surprised by the facilities that include 2 pools and a large deck over the lake, with a fancy bar setup. That’s the positive part. The room was on the smaller side and the bathroom needs an immediate refurbishment. The bed was comfortable and the aircon worked, unlike some of the other reviews. But the mosquitoes are present and definitely biting in the night inside the room…as the mosquito net has holes in it. Also the shower doesn’t work for more than a minute odd for hot water, so be ready for a cold shower. Lastly, we did have a bad experience with the food. Our entire group got ill after dinner and we remained sick for the next 3-4 days…so it was a bad bug. This can happen sometimes but it is too much when coupled with the mosquitoes and the other infrastructure issues. I would give this place the pass.

We stayed here for one night, arriving late and me busting for the toilet after a long drive! One staff member, who spoke English, was super lovely and showed me to the “nice” toilet — there wasn’t any electricity so he also let me use his phone as a light (awwwww). We seemed to be the only people staying there and other staff seemed indifferent to our presence. We had to ask for towels (they were nice ones, once they arrived), our balcony doors didn’t lock and there was a mosquito net over the bed but it had holes in it. The air-con was very poor in the room at first and the shower head squirted water everywhere… my friend and I had a semi-okay sleep — we both woke with sore backs and it was quite cold in the room as the air-con had finally kicked in! We had some difficulty in the restaurant as half the food on the menu was not available and no-one spoke English (that’s okay — I do appreciate it’s not the country’s native language!) — we finally ordered food at 8pm (we were starving) and when it finally arrived, the meal was delicious (and huge!). Note that breakfast isn’t served until 8.30am — it was a very basic continental breakfast (omelet or crepe).

Hotel agréable, personnel aux petits soins sans être envahissant. Très bonne cuisine, essayez les fatayas, les pâtes à la bolognaise sénégalaises... Possibilité d'organiser des excursions. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Patrons Très sympa
