Loman Art House - B&B - Gallery - Cafe - Rooftop

Excellent accommodation with an array of art We chose this accommodation as it stood out as unique and away from the commercial centre and competitively priced .It appealed as the rooms were spacious and it was a mecca of art an added bonus It was over expansive three floors with roof terrace and swimming pool area It was more than we expected.The rooms were clean and well equipped not only with ceiling fan but air-conditioning as well.There was a shower and bath and hot water available at all times.It was a calm oasis. The proprietor whose own artwork is throughout has created a vibrant atmosphere It is a unique place on so many different levels The continental breakfast included in room stay as well available light lunch were superb

What a great hotel! The rooms and general ambience is lovely, at a very competitive pricing. We spent 5 nights, there’s always things happening and the space is buzzing with people. The real star of it all is Loman herself, what a pleasure to get to know her and her vision for this beautiful space. The location is great because you are in the middle of the city so both the north (almadies) and south (plateau) of the city are quite accessible. I would recommend staying here 100% !

Everything the food was great but the owner has weird overseer vibes and a staring problem. And talks down to the staff. Felt more like a camp than a hotel. Your every move is monitored. They have a clothing market but it's like no Africa n vendors... very strange.

I loved my stay at Loman! Its like staying in your favorite museum or art gallery. The customer service is also exceptional. One day I was having trouble ironing my dress and seeing me struggle, the owner herself, Loman, ironed the dress for me. I cannot wait to stay at Loman again and highly recommend it for your next trip to Dakar.

Loman Art in Dakar is a unique guesthouse that blends art, comfort, and Senegalese hospitality. We stayed with our kids in Loman’s house for 3 nights last April and we all enjoyed it. 
This place is amazing, different, you are Loman’s guests in her very arty house. You feel like at home. And there is always something happening: art exhibition, yoga class by the pool, theme nights food on the rooftop bar etc.. 
We loved it, it is a peaceful place to stay in Dakar and meeting Loman is also something. She is amazingly interesting and a passionate person with a very big heart and very talented too. We loved her work, so much that we brought back home a piece of her art. If you are looking for the human element of travel, a meaningful interaction, this is the place to stay in Dakar.

Loman Art Villa feels less like a guesthouse and more like a living archive. Metalwork flashes in the Sahel light, and the walls carry the marks of time. The space is arranged for more than rest, it stages encounters: conversations lingering by the pool, fabrics and laughter carried on the rooftop breeze. Each room reads like a small essay in repair and reuse, with welded reliefs, carved stools, and plants quietly curating their own corners. Hospitality here is not a service but a method. Artists, travelers, and neighbors gather into a temporary commons where workshops and shared meals blur exhibition with everyday life. The villa’s architecture looks both to the Atlantic and to Dakar’s restless vernacular, refusing the sealed white cube in favor of porous thresholds and convivial improvisation. You arrive as a visitor and soon realize you’re already implicated: in the city’s creative ecologies, in the economies of care that sustain them, in the soft infrastructures that make art a daily, collective habit.

I cannot speak for the hotel itself because I was not staying there, but I can speak for the gallery! Amazing and free gallery highlighting local artists with an array of mediums. Tastefully curated & perfect space to also wfh if you go to the cafe/bar! A definite must if you are in Dakar!

The place is beautiful and the people are very nice. The room we slept in was a good place to rest after a whole day of walking around the city, but we also gladly slipped out of it to one of the many atmospheric terraces. The bed was comfortable, the room relatively quiet - there is a large tree full of birds outside the window, so they made some nice noise, but they allowed us to take a closer look at several local bird species (black kite, weaver, magpie ravens), so already at the hotel you can feel like you are on safari. We started each day with a delicious breakfast, making friends with the dogs and turtles living on the hotel premises. The place is also a gallery, so the traveler is surrounded by art - you can even look at the work of an artist who has his workshop in one of the courtyards. Is there a better way to start a trip around Senegal?
