Very old, with mold on the walls. The food at the hotel is really overpriced, and there isn't a place around to eat (within walking distance).

This hotel was terrible for the price. The room was not very clean and it was very small. There was hardly any place for me to put my bags. There was lots of mold/mildew in the bathroom on the walls. There was no proper air circulation in the room. I wasnt expecting anything of 5-star quality, but I was very disappointed. Wont recommend and wont stay here again.

The staff was unbelievably rude. They were also indifferent and slow to resolve the plumbing problems in my room. Customer service is not even a concept at the hotel. I was also told that breakfast was included but was given a bill upon checkout. I told the receptionist NOT to use the chip reader on my ATM card because it won't accept it and it will deactivate my card. He ignored me and I emphatically told him a second time. He did it anyway. The card was not accepted and my bank, who advised me not to use the chip reader abroad, deactivated my card. I will never stay at this hotel again. It was a terrible experience. The WiFi was also weak

Hotel and room are clean. Bed, bathroom, and air-conditioning are ok. They lost my paid-and-confirmed booking but me and the staff stayed polite and it got resolved. Very nice of them to go to pharmacy for me when I cought a cold. They offered to call taxi but they called an expensive private driver, which I admit is a lot more safe than yellow cab. Buffet food was very good. Relatively a good price for an all-you-can-eat buffet. But when eating a simple meal would have been ok, it is expensive (you still pay buffet if you only take 1 plate).

Compared to my previous experience with them, this time it went well. The room and bathroom were clean and in working condition. It sure ain't like a western hotel but at least I felt safe. No problem with outside noises.

It is well located, safe, but rooms are very small and I had air condition problems. They "fixed" but it was a fan...not willing to fix it again or change the room. Internet super slow!

Myself and a colleague stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as we had to do business within the Cameroon. I had printed out the confirmation of our stay at the hotel and thank goodness I did. It took the unfriendly receptionist about half an hour to find our reservation. There was no deep soaking bath and no view of the garden as indicated on the hotel reservation. It is not that bad if you are visiting for business purposes but would definitely not go here on holiday!

You won't find great luxury in Cameroon, but this hotel is pretty decent. The resturant was actually pretty decent (I've had some horrible meals in Cameroon). Rooms clean, found one small bug one night, most hotels in Cameroon, I essentially went hunting every night - so that was really good. Housekeeping staff couldn't wait to clean the rooms, fast and efficient. The pool was nice. Nice little bar.Drawbacks- some resturant staff need a lesson in customer service- odd layout of hotel- room was small
