I stayed at a hotel that had a great location in the city, right in the heart of Yaoundé. The staff were generally pleasant and accommodating, which made my stay enjoyable. However, I found the dining options to be quite limited and in need of improvement. While my room was spacious and clean, the overall value for money could have been better considering the amenities provided.

I had a pretty decent stay overall. The hotel is right in the center of Yaounde, making it super convenient. My room was on the 5th floor and while it was clean and spacious, the stairs were a bit of a hassle. I didn’t find the service to be very helpful, and I noticed some issues with the bar. The dining options were quite limited, which was disappointing, but at least the value for money was acceptable.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center of Yaounde, offering spacious and clean rooms. However, the service feels like it’s trying to improve but has a long way to go, especially with the bar and room service. Overall, it’s decent for the price but there are areas to enhance.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely ideal, right in the heart of Yaoundé, which made it easy to explore the city. The rooms were clean and spacious, providing a comfortable stay. However, service left a lot to be desired, with indifferent staff and slow bar service. Dining options were also underwhelming, so there's room for improvement there.

The hotel is located right in the heart of Yaounde, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city. My room on the fifth floor was a bit of a trek up the stairs, and while it was spacious, I found it less than clean. The breakfast included was disappointing as it offered limited variety and didn't taste great. The staff seemed friendly, but overall service felt a bit worn out. It's a decent place if you prioritize location over other factors.

The rooms are quite spacious and clean, but I found the service to be lacking as the staff seemed a bit worn out.
