This is worse than 2* in Europe
The hotel lacks maintenance, the reception staff is not friendly and not well trained. Their site shows a nice fitness room, which is not in the hotel. This hotel should be part of the “ibis budget” chain instead of the pullman group. They’re just not on par with the brand while they charge you fully for it.

Would not recommend
The hotel is outdated, especially the bathrooms, and the bed linen are very worn out. On the floor I stayed there was a very persistent smell of old humidity. A leak also caused flooding of numerous rooms in the hotel, including the lobby. The staff was not particularly accommodating to resolve any problems.

Staff are confused
The price quoted on Expedia is not respected. Staff kept me for 2 hours hostage in order to resolve the price disparity! They claimed it was my fault because such a price is not possible! Do not book this hotel through a third party! It’s a scam!

Good hotel for the area
The hotel was nice for the area. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning worked. The pool area was relaxing and the pizzas were excellent. The lobby is a little dated and had water dripping from the ceiling due to the humidity. There were several good restaurants and shopping within walking or a short taxi ride.

Good location
Our check in time was not so pleasant as hotel was trying to downgrade us due to the rate we paid through Hotels.com Their reservations system need to work more closely with all the websites their hotel is listed to prevent such disagreements. After several back and fourth, we were finally given a more reasonable room! Our stay was overall good. The maintenance of the hotel is quite lacking!

A hotel that tries hard and only just makes the gr
This is an hotel that tries had because it has to. Food is good and the breakfast buffet sparse but adequate. The hot buffet in not for non-Cameroonians. The only thing available for the more Western taste was eggs to order and pancakes. Dinners were good and the freshly baked bread rolls were a treat. Rooms are small but clean and adequate. Service, not great and smiles were few and far between. The area around the hotel is safe enough but there is no reason to venture out. Nothing to do, see or buy.
