Maison Abaka is an oasis in a chaotic city. It has a lovely location, right on the beach, overlooking Mgor Island. It also has some very nice decks with chairs around a tiny pool and overlooking the sea. The rooms were good, with all that one needs to be happy. They are not luxurious but they are comfortable and clean with good showers and decent air con. The hotel is tucked down a dirt lane (with lots of garbage) in a residential area full of people... so it can be a bit noisy sometimes. That didn't bother us but could be too much for some guests. The breakfasts are underwhelming.

Charming hotel in unbeatable location!

Every time I come to Dakar for work, I stay here! Nothing like working on the balcony with a sea breeze and view of the pirogues! :) The staff are also amazingly friendly and wonderful, and you can just walk out the door and be on the beach and have access to all the restaurants around, incluiding the delicious seafood at Cabane du Pecheur next door!

Both pros and cons— may consider staying again

Has a beautiful view of the ocean, and very nice patio area - very pleasant atmosphere to wake up to. The room was loud in the mornings (first floor, could hear passing guests and doors opening/closing) and the breakfast was very expensive for what you get. Great location, taxi stand very close by.

Great place to relax in Dakar

Nice stay, with only a few minor issues. So minor I never complained, but the only reason keeping it from getting 5 stars. The location is nice, with several decent restaurants in the neighborhood and a huge taxi stand at the end of the block.The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful.

Stylish boutique place in a fun neighborhood

Great convenient location. Nice room and artfully done. Very friendly staff. Right on the beach and a lively safe area. The French owner is very accommodating and will cook for you with notice. I would highly recommend.

little gem in ngor

great little base in the heart of ngor. friendly staff, awesome restaurant/bar area overlooking the beach. very few rooms so not too crowded. only downside is that its located off a sand alley 3 min from the main road so not the easiest of you are lugging baggage.

Très bon lieu de séjour à Dakar. Accueil très sympathique de tout le staff, très disponible et efficace. Chambre spacieuse et confortable ; Bon petit dejeuner qui peut etre pris sur la terrasse face à l'océan, accès aisé en ville (taxis sur la place toute proche) et une bonne ambiance dans ce quartier de pêcheurs animé

Petit paradis dans Dakar

A quelques centaines de mètres des rues commerçantes, vous vous trouvez tout d’un coup dans un village traditionnel pêcheur... Vous avez l’impression de ne plus être à Dakar... La chambre au 1er étage avec vue sur Ngor est super... Isabelle fait une très bonne cuisine...
