C3 Resort Hotel Foumbot

C3 Resort Hotel Foumbot
3.0 star property
Foumbot
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (2 reviews)
"The staff were professional and helpful. The room was clean. The pool was very nice, though a bit on the cold side. The sauna was not open at the time that I was there but it looked like it was in good condition. The food at the restaurant was very good. I think this is the best hotel for both Foumbot and Foumban.
