Cadre agréable dans le centre de Yaoundé
L'Hôtel est situé dans le centre de Yaoundé mais à l'écart de la circulation et à l'ombre des arbres dans un cadre très agréable. Restaurant -bar agréable avec terrasse. Chambre en bon état général, climatisation efficace et silencieuse. La salle de bain mériterait d'être refaite en particulier la baignoire mais c'est OK pour prendre une douche, avec une bonne pression d'eau. Propreté OK.

Niet aan te raden
Behalve de locatie stelt dit hotel weinig voor. Bij aankomst kreeg ik een single room ipv van een appartement zoals geboekt. Geen wifi in de kamers, geen warm water, geen fles drinkwater. En dat alles voor "slechts" 90 Euro per nacht. Ronduit schandalig!

hotel au calme en étant en plein centre ville
Dommage qu'il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude; le calme est vrai plus en plein cœur de la ville...

Hôtel de la honte! infréquentable!!
je vous conseille de ne jamais plus mettre cet hôtel dans vos site !!! c'est un hôtel qui ne mérite même pas d'être appelé hôtel. si vous dormez, à la sortie, vous devez aller vous faire examiner à l'hôpital car!!! vous avez des microbes au corps et dans les habits!!!!! cet hôtel qui devait subir des travaux de rénovation depuis ....10 ans, n' a subi aucune rénovation. Les oreillers n'ont pas de taie!!!!!, les baignoires sont ..... NOIRS!!!!

Très bon rapport qualité/prix
Un hôtel très correct pour le prix, pas de reproche, bien situé au centre mais avec verdure, et restaurant avec carte correcte.
A noter la présence du bouchon de baignoire et l'eau chaude, ce que l'on ne retrouve pas partout.

Hôtel agréable (surtout son restaura et bien situé
Hôtel bien situé et agréable, surtout le restaurant au milieu des arbres. Seul bémo : l'état de la salle de bain (baignoire cassée par endroit).
Une moustiquaire serait également la bienvenue.

agréable surprise
Hôtel propre. Le personnel très sympathique est serviable à votre écoute à toute heure de votre arrivée. Le cadre est très bien, le calme y règne malgré la proximité du centre ville. Le petit déjeuner au restaurant sur le site est vraiment bien soigné avec un service sérieux.
Je recommande très sincèrement cet hôtel et j'y retournerai à ma prochaine venue.

Ruhiges Hotel im Zentrum von Yaoundé
Ein angenehmes, ruhig gelegenes Hotel im Centre Ville. Für Geschäftsreisende oder Paare mit moderaten Ansprüchen geeignet. Ein Plus sind die schönen großen Balkone an jedem Zimmer. Für Familien oder alleinreisende Damen ist die Gegend rund um das Hotel nicht uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.

Central Hotel bevalt goed.
Prettig hotel nabij het centrum. Het personeel is aardig en hulpvaardig. De kamers zijn schoon en alles werkt naar behoren, incl. de airco. PC met internet is gratis beschikbaar voor klanten. Het restaurant is gevestigd in een apart gebouw met een mooie tuin. Na aankomst werden we tot onze verrassing bezocht door Germain, de contactpersoon van Expedia in Yaoudé. Hij heeft ons de eerste dag erg goed geholpen met de eerste zaken die we bij aankomst nog moesten regelen.
