Passable, but not the ideal room.
Pros:

Free airport transfer.
Friendly staff helped me to call when there was no electricity.

Cons:

Bad WIFI.
No electricity in morning (might not have been their problem).
Extremely small bathroom (see photo) :D :D
No remote for AC.
Mattress as hard as the floor.
Poor breakfast. Just eggs and bread.
Busy location, music until 00:00.

Very good
Pros:

Located in the heart of a busy side of Douala about 5km from the airport. Friendly staff. Most are bilingual.

Cons:

Some rooms can get noisy because of activities outside the hotel but the hotel can move you if alternatives are available.

Good Place in Douala
Pros:

Great value for money, clean and spacious rooms

Cons:

Staff was not always friendly and did not really make an effort to speak English or to speak French slowly. But aside from that everything was smooth

fair
Pros:

The cleaning staff and the restaurant staff were amazing.

Cons:

Most of the front desk staff are so rude and also can't speak or understand English. The location of the hotel is at a nasty and congested area.
