Villa Jade

I stayed for 2 weeks at Villa Jade. There are pluses and minuses to this place Pluses - Staff were friendly and helpful - Peaceful and quiet with a good breakfast - Close to the beach and restaurants/Shops - Swimming pool and small gym Minuses - Dirt track to villa which when dry is fine but god knows what it would be like when wet. - In need of LOTS of maintenance. It may have been recently been bought as they were doing some small refurbs. But the bedrooms are quite outdated and many areas not in use (verandas) due to lack of furniture. The gym equipment is mostly old and broken - I felt because of the above I overpaid for the 2 weeks. £710 for 14 days equates to c£50 a day and that is a lot given its Senegal and the state of the villa. This I say with complete confidence as I travel a lot for work and in some countries I pay a lot less for better value. given the negatives I dont think I would stay here at the same prices but could consider for the future and I hope they proceed with the updates and maintenance

Everything was very good

Staff very, very friendly, always happy to help and flexible with special requests or payments (Paypal is accepted in the hotel). But it helps to have some skills in French, only in English it might get difficult but also manageable. Room already a bit older vut with charme, more storage space like a bigger table or chair would add value. Wifi very good and stable enough for FaceTime Calls. Breakfast in the pool area basic but always delicious and nice, despite not much choice available. Power and water supply rather unstable during my stay but hotel staff compensated this inconvenience as best as possible (when there was no water they offered free breakfast, drinks etc.), very cool gestures! Hotel is a good choice when you want to be close to Ngor and the beach, supermarket and restaurants also nearby. Always safe and calm around the hotel but the streets are in poor condition (as almost everywhere in Dakar). When you want/need to go to the city center, a taxi is needed and costs you a lot of time due to traffic. Overall a very nice little, clean and charming hotel where you get great value for your money. However do not expect a 4* accomodation...

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at Jade Villa. Although the location is off the beaten road, Jade Villa is a Bed & Breakfast style accommodation a short walking distance from the beach, plenty of shopping, ******, clubs, etc. The staff is professional, friendly, and someone is available 24hrs. They offer an amazing breakfast at the sparkling pool and affordable selections for lunch and dinner. The rooms are comfy and offer warm showers, great Wi-Fi, refrigerators, and plenty of natural light.
