It's a decent hotel, very friendly staff and a nice bar. The room I stayed in was decent with a nice balcony and a good view of the city. The street in front of the hotel gets quite busy and noisy some nights, but was not a disturbance. Also, the free wifi actually quite reliable, which is saying a lot... More

1. The restaurant is terrible, slow with overpriced fast-food quality food. The breadfast costs 60000F extra which is bad value for money. There are few choices of food. The fruit and salad are not fresh at all. There are just few choices on the menu, often half on which are not available 2. The restaurant is always noisy with the... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past few years. It is modern, clean, good restaurant and safe. The pool is on the roof of a separate building and also includes a nice but small gym.

I stay here quite often and its clean, safe and offers useful services. As most hotels in Cameroon its worth to use/negotiate corporate rates (easily a 40% reduction in room rates). Meals are (as in most hotels) so-so, just nowhere near as good as you'd get in any restaurant in town. The pool is small but situated on the roof.... More

I stayed here as part of a large group. Initially planned to be just overnight but circumstances resulted in a lengthy stay. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly, the food quite nice, and the standard of housekeeping surprisingly high. The gym was under refurbishment so off limits. They have a fairly modest rooftop swimming pool which was... More
