Bamenda
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (3 reviews)
"L'hôtel est de 1984 et pratiquement à l'abandon seul le personnel est très agréable mais sinon l'établissement par lui-même qui est la propriété du gouvernement soit disant a été rénové en 2011 mais tout est dans un état déplorable du reste il n'y a plus de clients. Quand au restaurant il n'y a plus de menu, un choix extrêmement limité seulement des plats principaux, même pas de dessert ni ketchup ni mayonnaise le minimum syndical. Bref un trois étoiles qui n'en méritent qu'une..."
