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The hotel is outdated, especially the bathrooms, and the bed linen are very worn out.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.

Hôtel qui a beaucoup veilli

Restauration aux prix parisiens: Petit déjeuner à 20 euros cher, le plus cher du Cameroun? Chambre sentait le moisi, fenêtre condamnée, pourquoi? Taxi à la sortie qui "attendent le blanc" pour lui proposer des courses 300% plus chères que dans rue. La direction de l'hôtel avance toujours le même argument: la sécurité... Pas de salle de sport mais belle piscine
