Quintal di Maria

I had a wonderful stay! I originally booked for a week and ended up staying for 2 months at Quintal di Maria. Not only is the woman who runs the hotel a wonderful, sweet, and generous woman, but the others who help maintain the place and the folks in surrounding houses and businesses are equally warm and welcoming. When I arrived, I was given a tour of the area and shown the best walking route to get to the place I'd be working for an internship, before going to the grocery together so that I could stock up on necessities. I have no complaints about my stay, especially regarding how the hotel is run and maintained! During my 2-month stay, there were several guests who were, slightly less than tidy to put it kindly, and when I messaged the hotel owner about this it was immediately remedied. She also was always sure to check in on me, take time to chat and catch up, and make sure that I was doing well and didn't need anything. The rooms are clean, big, and comfortable. There is plenty of storage for unpacking luggage. There is hot water and private bathrooms that are very spacious. The rooms have TVs as well, although I never used mine. And, the common areas are cozy and inviting - for dining, cooking, and lounging. Finally, there is good security for getting in and out of the hotel so you can feel secure about your belongings and have an added sense of safety at night or if traveling alone like me. This was the best hotel experience that I have ever had!

Nothing!

Everything was great from the arrival. The owners are very nice, welcoming and charming, rooms are clean and spacious, WiFi is strong, the kitchen has everything at our disposal. Residential neighborhood is very calm, has few shops and marketplace in a walking distance. Buses and taxis run almost throughout the city from a busy roundabout two blocks away. Pleased to stay there.

The family was very helpful an patient. I speak very little French an no wolof.

No problems!
