This is one of the best hotels I have ever been to and has the best customer service I have ever seen. Vivian the front manager is an amazing manager and goes the extra mile to help clients and is always smiling and happy to help. The staff are well trained and the security is excellent. Issues with rooms are resolved promptly. Rooms are cleaned daily and the food in the restaurant is amazing. This is the best hotel in douala for those who need a good European standard hotel with amazing comfort and customer service. Will be returning soon as they made my stay enjoyable.

4/10 Poor

I stayed there twice within a week, staying in three different rooms. The best thing about the hotel is the rooms: they are clean, relatively modern and a fair size. The rooms facing the pool are quiet. The shuttle to and from the airport is free. The were several things that weren’t so good: On my second stay I arrived at 7.30pm to be told that the hotel is full. It eventually transpired that they were still cleaning some rooms, presumably due to some customers being allowed extremely late checkouts despite those rooms being sold for the following night. I eventually got a room after standing at reception for 1 hour and 20 minutes. I suggested that some compensation might be in order but they only offered a free drink ($3!). It was later increased when I complained to the manager. The aircon in one room didn’t work well. On the first stay , the airport pick up didn’t show up despite reconfirming it the day before, so I had to take a local taxi to the hotel at night time. There’s quite a lot of traffic noise from the street side of the hotel. One morning there was only a trickle of running water for several hours, but that might not be the hotel’s fault. Some rooms safely deposit boxes are key operated. They only provide the key if you sign that you will re-imburse them US$750 if you lose the key which is outrageous and more than my valuables are worth!

Liked: Cleanliness
Initially during check-in, the experience was good. But at night around 10:00lm, the AC stopped blowing cold air; my husband called the front desk for it to be checked out and posibly repaired, my husband was told some one was coming. Up until 5:00am during exiting the hotel, no one showed up to repair the Air Conditioning. The room was very hot, the lobby sitting area had mosquitoes during the night. We did not expect such from this reputable hotel. Greetings,
