    The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The attention to detail was impressive, from the clean and well-maintained rooms to the beautiful restaurant that felt like a home away from home. The location of the hotel was also convenient, with easy access to the airport and many restaurants in the area.

    Everything was ok and I had a great experience.

    During my Easter holidays, I had a pleasant stay at a hotel in Douala. The staff was friendly and the air-conditioned rooms were clean. The hotel had a good location near to a main road and a school. The gym had new equipment, and the rooftop pool was a great place to relax with a poolside bar and lounge chairs.

    There were a few negative aspects to my stay. The food in the restaurant was overpriced and not of good quality. The internet connection was slow, and I had to ask for a new password every 24 hours. The noise from the main road and the school was quite loud, making it difficult to sleep at times.

    We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptional - prepared and helpful. We found the hotel to be very clean, and we enjoyed the comfortable beds and quiet air conditioning. The restaurant and bar were a nice addition, and breakfast was satisfactory. Moreover, the hotel facilities were impressive, including ample parking and transportation options. We particularly appreciated its location in proximity to many restaurants in the area and ability to use regular European outlets.

    Nothing to be said.

    Located near several European outlets and a supermarket, this hotel is a great choice for those on a budget. the airport is easily accessible by the hotel shuttle, and the staff is very friendly and English-speaking. Rooms are clean, air-conditioned, and come with cable TV and internet access. Breakfast is a delicious option with many choices and the rooftop pool is a refreshing amenity, complete with lounge chairs and a poolside bar.

    the service was top-notch, with swift check-in and friendly staff who spoke English. Secondly, the rooms were clean and decently sized, with modern amenities like a TV with cable and free WiFi. Lastly, the hotel's central location was a major plus, with a supermarket nearby and an easy commute to the airport.

    Everything was perfect, couldn't ask for more!

    During my business trip, I found the hotel to be conveniently located near the airport and with helpful staff. I particularly appreciated the free shuttle service provided, which made it easy to get in and out of the city.

    The overall decor of the hotel felt dated and in need of some modernizing. the quality of the meals offered in the hotel restaurant was lacking, and I found that the wait time for my food to arrive was longer than expected.
