Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a good and safe area close to the airport, with a grocery store nearby for basic needs. The rooms are small but clean and practical, although individual air conditioning may be lacking. The service was friendly, although typical African in terms of speed. The dining experience, while adequate, may require specific requests for items like omelettes. The facilities are nice with a long pool, but surrounded by fences and razor wire.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable, they felt a bit small with some old furniture. The service was efficient and a welcomed surprise for this part of the world. The location had its downsides with some unwanted activities outside the hotel. The dining options were good, but not ideal for early checkouts. The facilities were decent overall.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with friendly staff, but the dining experience could be enhanced with more variety. The well-maintained pool area adds to the enjoyable stay, although Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with helpful service. The location is convenient, but some areas could use improvement. The dining experience is decent, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel offers a small but very clean and practical room. The service was well above average in politeness and efficiency. Its central location is nicely landscaped and pretty quiet, though there are some disturbances outside. The dining experience was delicious, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel rooms are on the small side but have everything you need, including a small work area. Though the rooms reeked of stale smoke and couldn't open the window, they were overall okay, very clean, and had a comfortable bed, which was enough for me.
The hotel offers standard rooms similar to IBIS hotels globally, with small rooms featuring firm mattresses at a higher price. While there was no room service, the overall experience was pleasant.
The hotel offers basic, comfortable rooms ideal for quiet work but lacks a bit of charm. The service is professional and friendly, although some improvements are needed. The location is convenient for airport proximity but has mixed surroundings. The dining experience is decent but could use more variety. Overall, a good value for a short stay.
The hotel rooms are fairly clean and big enough, but the cold temperature felt like Alaska at times. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond with a heartfelt breakfast before my early departure. The location was suitable for business travelers but lacked appeal and suffered from noise in the hallways. The dining experience offered quality selections but lacked variety compared to other hotels.
The hotel is conveniently located in Bonajo, Douala, near the airport and a mini grocery store for basic needs. The rooms, though clean, lack character and a fridge, making it challenging in the hot African weather. The room size does not justify the high prices, but they are adequate if you don't mind a basic setup.
