Excellent services. The place is clean and offer interesting amenities, including an aquatic park for kids, swimming pools, tennis and 5 vs 5 outdoor soccer court, and working areas. The hotel would be perfect when they improve the gym.

Disappointed
Great staff and good customer service in general. The grounds of the hotel is kept nicely, mainly the back where the pool and children area locates. It could be more inviting with pool chairs and umbrellas. The front was uninviting, a very frightful disable access and steep step access. We expected better from this well known hotel brand and disappointed that the standard was not maintained in Douala. We were expecting the hotel to be of a higher standard due to location and brand. The whole place is tired and in need of general repairs. We narrowly escaped the door facia falling on our heads as we leave the bedroom, what a joke. On our return, it was just stuck back on, waiting for the next unsuspecting customer. The shower did not work well, too much hot water waste from a broken shower. The toilet rocks about when seated on and never flush properly. Shabby finish around the shower cubicle, smashed toilet door from the soft close. Poor bathroom lighting. Mosquito invasion in the bedroom and the hotel lobby was at war with the critters. Just could not relax there or have a drink with the threat of been eaten alive. Breakfast ran out and flies enjoyed the meal equally. We slept at the hotel, but 3 days into our stay, we enjoy other hotels with better facilities, food, drink and relaxation. The hotel is in a very good location but this will not help in the future if poor standard is maintained. I hope not to book with your service again.
Shabby workmanship, health and safety hazard. Narrowly missed  our heads.

I was given a room on the 1st floor towards the end of the building. There was an event taking place in one of the ballrooms with loud music. I could not sleep until 4am despite ear plugs and noise cancellation headphones. Very poor window sound isolation. After several complains, the staff offer me at 1am to relocate to another room. I declined as I was leaving early the next day.

I have stayed at this hotel on three different occasions. As a seasoned traveler, I must say that this is clearly one of the best hotels I have experienced in Cameroon. It is quiet, convenient for travelers to and from the local airport, the manager is most engaging and ubiquitous. The staff functions at the highest level of professionalism. The rooms are spacious, clean, and calming. Food service is balanced and satisfactory. Without any hesitation I will stay here again at the next opportunity.
