Excellent hotel, beautiful location
Lagon 2 is an excellent hotel and one of the best choices in Dakar. The location on the water is very beautiful and the hotel is very comfortable, clean and the staff are all very gracious and helpful. The air conditioning works well and the room is spacious. The breakfast is very good with beautiful views to start your day. The Lagon 1 restaurant nearby is excellent with very good seafood. From the hotel, you can walk along the water into the town and then Independence Plaza. I recommend Lagon 2 if you want a high quality hotel but not to be removed from the local culture by being in a resort.

Terrible stay and left early due to cockroaches
Do not stay in this hotel. It claims to be a 4-star hotel and it is not. There are cockroaches in the rooms and the management knows as they leave spray to kill them. The property is extremely run down, old, and has none of the facilities it advertises. A complete rip off, stay away from this hotel.

Great location. Incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean. Friendly and nice staff. Great food at restaurant and bar. Only minor issues is the room. Balcony door didn't lock and tiolet seat was attached to toilet. But over all a good place for the money. I would definitely stay there again.

This was such a unique hotel. It's like a bost but not in super campy/cheesey way. You're right on the Atlantic ocean. The views are stunning. The food is great and so wonderful. Its in a part of town that is walkable to alot of other site.

Double Charged for My Stay
My stay at Hotel Lagon 2 was lovely, and the staff were terrific. The problem started when I got home, and I saw that I was charged twice for my stay. I was charged by Hotels.com and by Hotel Lagon 2. After MANY phone calls and emails (which included receipts) to Hotels.com, who in turn called Hotel Lagon 2, neither place would refund one of the charges. So either, Hotels.com never sent the money I paid to Hotel Lagon 2, or the more likely scenario, Hotel Lagon 2 was paid twice for my stay. My review would have been 100% great about my visit, but I've run out of options to correct this situation other than to leave this review. Please contact me. Thank you.

Lagon Hotel
It was a decent hotel for the price and for the location. It was right down the road from a nearby beach. The service was very good, but it is always good in this part of the world.

You can get beautiful sea view from all rooms because of coastal location. Also the bar and restaurant are surrounded by beautiful and blue Atlantic Ocean.

Very poor wifi not suitable for business travelers excellent location, friendly staff, a very small hotel with few rooms and small staff. During check out the credit card machine did not work and had to settle with cash. A terrible situation to be in this day and age with virtually cash less economy.

Not worth $
Just like many other reviews say, the rooms are pretty run down. All rooms face the water and have a nice view, but they are just not comfortable. My shower was all trashy, the shower head shooting water in all directions. They keep your door open while cleaning the room and tons of mosquitoes get in your room so expect to be bitten and chase them around all night. The breakfast is pretty good, the coffee machine is excellent. However, they charge you extra for an omelet or eggs which is kind of strange. Also, there is no free drinking water in the rooms (standard of other hotels in Dakar) so you have to take it from your minibar and pay. The staff is nice, no complaints there. Overall, I think the hotel is very very overpriced for what it really is.

Great place, lovely stay
A great place! Over the top 'yacht decor' could be oppressively kitschy but instead, it's fun and dear. Great restaurant on a pier out into the water, a fine small beach and a fully interior resto as well. Rooms are small but super clean and with balconies. Though you are delightfully entrenched in the feeling of the sea and sea culture, you're still just a 7-minute walk right into the heart of Plateau, Dakar's most established downtown 'hood (GO TO BELUGA FOR DINNER!). Great staff, kindly and helpful. ONE cautionary note: the site says "free hotel transfers" but that is ONLY from 8am-8pm: after dark means charges and NO discount through the hotel NOR will management do anything to help. While this is annoying in principle, it didn't upend the time at Lagon for me. WOud go back in a heartbeat.

Too expensive for what you get
Used to be a nice hotel in the 80s, but has not been renovated since... not very clean. Far too expensive for what you get. Not coming back, there are better options in the area.

Needs some updating
Nice location overlooking sea but nothing really in walking distance. Hotel has own restaurant but not well used. Breakfast continental but lacked freshness. Same ownership for restaurant next door. There is no direct connection so you have to walk 250m on roadway. Overall not bad. Lacking in atmosphere. Bit expensive for whats on offer. WiFi worked well.

The hotel staff was courteous and helpful. the location and view from room is excellent. the Quality of service and hotel ameneties in the room need improvement, like providing complimentary Tea/Coffee and electronic kettle in the room, additional/extra towels/hand towels, more chanels on TV either pay-per-view and the complimentary internet in the room goes off @ 10pm. Otherwise, the Hotel is pricey for the $$ per night currently. Overall, Ok.

En fait je connais cet hôtel depuis longtemps. Mais avec le Covid je n'y étais pas retourné depuis 3 ans. Honnêtement cet hôtel devrait être fermé car les prestations se sont considérablement dégradées et il est dans un état limite !!!! Surtout par rapport au fait d'afficher 4 étoiles ! J'ai eu de l'eau chaude pour la douche 1 fois sur 2. La chambre sentait vraiment pas bon et était humide La vieille clim (au moins 30 ans) ne fonctionnait plus Des détritus dans le couloir sans compter des groupes de gens qui occupaient cet espace en buvant (exagérément) de l'alcool. La petite salle de sport n'en a plus que le nom car les machines sont inutilisables Le petit déjeuner est vraiment très réduit en choix Et la veille de mon départ on me demande si mon séjour est terminé et que je ne vais pas quitter la chambre. En fait ils s'étaient trompés.

Tres bon sejour. La vue est top ainsi que le fait d'entendre les vagues, on a l'impression d'etre sur un bateau. Cote eco-responsable, dommage que les personnes de ménage remettent la clim apres chaque passage.
