Yaas Hotel Dakar Almadies is on the Route des Almadies in the western Almadies district, the area around Africa's westernmost point. Its property page lists a free daily buffet breakfast, free secured self-parking, free Wi-Fi in rooms and some public areas and an on-site restaurant called Lobby Lounge. There is no pool on the page, so this is a choice for travellers who want a clean, modern base with breakfast included rather than a resort. Its Almadies position puts it close to the beaches, restaurants and nightlife of the western peninsula.
Location and getting around
The property page gives the Des Almadies golf club as an eight-minute walk, the US Embassy as eleven minutes and Pointe des Almadies beach as thirteen minutes, with Ngor Beach about seventeen minutes on foot. The Boribana museum is a short drive, and the Mamelles beach is about two miles away. The Plateau and the Gorée ferry are a long taxi ride, around 35 minutes by car to Dakar station, and Blaise Diagne International Airport is about 67 minutes away, so build in time for traffic.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms are modern and the breakfast window runs from 6:30 to 10:30, which suits early starts for day trips to Lac Rose or Bandia, since the Almadies are on the right side of the peninsula for heading out. Free secured parking is useful if you hire a car or driver. Who it suits: couples, solo travellers and anyone who wants a quieter coastal base with good value and breakfast included.
What to know
There is no pool on the page, so check the facilities if that matters, and plan on taxis for most sights in the centre. Evenings in the Almadies can be lively around restaurants and beach clubs, so ask for a room away from the street if you need quiet.
