Hotel Dakhla Ville

Top Lage, wenig Stauraum für Kleidung, nettes Personal.

Sehr angenehmes und aufmerksames Personal. Vielen Dank an Hanane und das gesamte Personal für ihre Freundlichkeit. Das Hotel ist sauber und sehr gut gelegen. Vielen Dank für Ihren Empfang. Das Frühstück ist komplett, wir hätten uns mehr Originalität gewünscht, aber es war alles da.

It had been a pretty fraught day crossing the Western Sahara from Mauritania culminating with an 11.30pm arrival in Dakhla. Check in was efficient and the room was clean which accounts for the 2 stars. The shower had no surround meaning that everything in the bathroom got wet - except the toilet paper because there wasn't any. The bed was big and comfortable but it was Saturday night and the road out front was social central with cars revving and tooting until the early hours. Not much sleep. The airport which was about 30 minutes walk away. Just a bit too far for an early morning flight so I had asked about a transfer and been told that it would cost the dinar equivalent of US$5. However, when I came down at 6.45am the cost had suddenly risen to US$20 and I was told that there would be no taxis available that early on Sunday so what was on offer, the US$20 ride in the hotel car, was the only game in town. Too late then to walk but very irritating to be more or less blackmailed into paying that ridiculous amount for what was a 5 minute drive. Recommendation - find another hotel in Dakhla. There are plenty to choose from.
