    The whole team was absolutely mind-blowing! They were super friendly and accommodating, making my stay even better than I could have imagined. The guest house had a wonderful local feel with all the perks of a hotel. The facilities were super clean and the breakfast was just jaw-dropping. The pool was great and the terrace spaces were fantastic for relaxing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience, and the two dogs were the cherry on top. I highly recommend this place!

    Located in a peaceful residential area, Francesca Guest House offers a tranquil retreat for travelers. The hotel is conveniently situated near several restaurants and a large supermarket, allowing guests to easily explore the local dining scene and shop for necessities. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, and the housekeeping staff ensures that they are kept clean throughout your stay. Guests can start their day with a generous breakfast, and for those who prefer a quiet morning, some rooms offer a lovely view of the surrounding area. The hotel also boasts excellent facilities, including a restaurant that serves delicious food at affordable prices.

    A small inconvenience is the absence of shampoo and soap in the shower, which can be overlooked considering the overall positive experience offered by Francesca Guest House.

    Lovely garden, enjoyed the terrace and the Italian breakfast. The swimming pool is great, although I didn't swim because I forgot my swimsuit. The staff were so helpful that I felt like a VIP.

    Mosquitoes, but hey, who needs sleep anyway?

    The rooms at Francesca Guest House are cozy and comfortable, making us feel right at home. The air conditioning was a lifesaver in the hot Dakar weather. Having a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge made it convenient to prepare our own meals. We even had a private entrance in our double room, which gave us the feeling of privacy.

    Personally, I found the tile/marble floor in our room a bit cold. But hey, some people might enjoy that!

    The service was great and the owners were very nice! The backyard restaurant was comfortable and the food was delicious! The rooms where really comfortable, the facilities excellent and the location was very good for us.

    I didn't like my first room. The view was horrible and the bathroom was complicated.

    During my recent stay at Francesca Guest House, I was impressed with the helpfulness and attentiveness of the owner. The breakfast provided was generous, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious food at the Italian restaurant down the street. The location of the guest house was ideal, close to restaurants and the main road, yet nestled on a peaceful street. I would recommend Francesca Guest House without hesitation!
