My stay at Hotel Al Afifa had its ups and downs. The central location was convenient for getting around Dakar, and my junior suite was spacious and comfortable. However, I faced several inconveniences, including delayed room availability and lack of proper bathroom facilities. While the breakfast was decent, issues with service and amenities left me feeling it wasn't worth the price I paid.
