Cleanliness
2
Very poor — multiple guests report vomit on sofas, stained/yellowed pillows, lack of hot water and many cockroaches; clear major cleanliness failures.
Service
10
Excellent — multiple reviews praise staff, an attentive manager, friendly drivers and single staff members (e.g., Nuella) who went out of their way to ensure comfort.
Location
10
Generally positive — several guests cited the location as an advantage; one guest listed it as a con but overall helpful for airport access and convenient for stays.
Room Quality
3
Poor — guests reported hygiene issues in rooms (cockroaches), stains and uncomfortable bedding, and problems like no hot water affecting room quality.
Amenities
10
Strong — airport shuttle, restaurant and included breakfast were repeatedly praised; some specific amenity issues (pool, small elevator) noted but core amenities (transfer, dining, breakfast) are highlighted positively.
Value for Money
4
Below average — at least one guest explicitly called the stay overpriced for the experience and price paid; value is perceived as poor by some visitors.
Food and Beverage
10
Very good — breakfast described as well provided/included and the on-site restaurant received positive mentions.
Overall Experience
9.4
Mixed but positive due to strong service and good food/amenities for many guests; however severe cleanliness and value issues made some stays unacceptable.

À fuir de toute urgence!!!
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Une si grande honte pour un hôtel de trois-étoiles qui prend le prix d’un hôtel de quatre étoiles, nous payons 77 000 Fr. CFA pour une nuit pour vivre ce qu’on a vécu. C’est une grande honte. Pas d’eau chaude du vomi sur les canapés des oreillers jaunes rempli de sueur, cachés par des taies d’oreiller blancs, des jaunes, des toilettes jaunes c’est une catastrophe!!!

Pas satisfait
Cons:

La télé ne fonctionnait pas pendant mon séjour. Le poignet de la douchette était difficile à tourner.
Afin d'éviter toute mauvaise surprise j'ai préféré ne pas prendre ma douche.
