Séjour correct dans l'ensemble, mais : - Nourriture pas incroyable - La navette qui devait m'emmener à l'aéroport n'est jamais venue. Après 20mn d'attente on m'a rassuré qu'elle était en route, pour finalement m'avouer qu'elle ne viendrait pas. Comportement non professionnel à la réception

Je suis femme seule en séjour à Yaoundé pour la première fois. Le personnel ici est professionnel et chaleureux. Je me suis sentie bien accueillie et en sécurité à chaque instant à cet hôtel. Le restaurant offre des repas de qualité, le buffet pour le petit-déjeuner est excellent. La terrasse située à l’avant de l’hôtel, donnant sur la rue est un espace très agréable. Situé tout près de l’Institut français, endroit agréable à visiter. Hôtel fortement recommandé!
