Un havre de paix pour échapper au brouhaha de Douala
Pros:

Les chambres ne sont certes pas modernes mais elles sont spacieuses et très agéables. Le jardin à proximité, la qualité du restaurant ejoutent un charme certain à cet établissement.

Cons:

Le toit en tôte s'avère assez bruyant lors des averses. Le petit-déjeuner n'est servi qu'à 7h30. Or à Douala, les embouteillages imposent souvent un départ à 7h au plus tard

I got the unlucky room with no mosquito net and not working AC
Pros:

Good location, very close to the airport, and nice patio. Good food and pricing at the restaurant.

Cons:

The aircon in my room did not work and there was no mosquito net (this was not the case at all for my colleague though). I only realised this after the reception was already closed so I had a horrible night. Wifi should be improved

Welcoming vibe , great location, charming courtyard
Pros:

Reasonable room, Good breakfast buffet, very friendly staff, good food, lovely interior courtyard. Good location.

Cons:

The shower was so-so. I know the unstable electricity can't be helped but some of the fixtures were also not in great repair. It would be great to have some pamphlets or materials about the neighborhood, places to visit etc... to help guide a newbie visitor.
