Fantastic Stay

Reviewed By Dr-Yves-Tchapda

I had a very pleasant stay at Akwa Palace from May 26th to June 7th, 2022. The service was impeccable: Very attentive, polite and courteous staff. I'd like to single out Sylvie at reception. She was exceptional. She was always pleasant, professional, and addressed all issues I had without delay. I had a standard room which was adequate for my needs. The only slight negative was the noise from the air con early in the morning, but that didn't dampen my experience of the hotel. The buffet was great, with wide variety of food, even though I always had puff-puff and fried beans (African delicacy). I'll certainly be staying there again during my visit to Cameroon (as long as the price remains fair) and I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to visit Douala. Thanks to the staff for making my stay very comfortable. Dr Yves Tchapda

Excellent rooms with great views of the city. I was not able to use the facilities except for the restaurant. Great breakfast menu especially the choice of natural juices and fruits. Could be expanded to add a bit of pizzazz. After a few days the menu became very predictable. The TV was a bit of a disappointment. Very little programming in English. Missing popular channels like CNN and Bloomberg. Instead lots of French channels with focus on soccer and life in France which is a bit of an overkill. On balance a good stay and if they can keep their prices competitive, I will come back again. Steven New York, NY

Dark themed hotel, unique

Reviewed By engfajardo

Got to stay here for 10days. My experience has been a very pleasant one. Food selection in the buffet is well diverse. Its more of the ex-pat flavor...meaning its very good and less on spices. The pool is very inviting. The gym is basic but its there and clean. They have bar and chill out area which is nice. The room is spacious. Dark themed hotel made bright and lively with the catering staff, room attendants, security personnel, and attentive front desk personnel. Had a slight difficulty changing currencies. This observation might be the most important one for me, maybe trivial for others, but they impressed me with this item: I never saw a mosquito or any insect in my room. A first for me in an African hotel. Great housekeepers. Enjoyed my 10days stay.

Has potential! But needs work...

Reviewed By Dher5

Pros: - super friendly staff - comfy bed, hot water and pressure (i.e. all the comforts you need) - free airport shuttle Cons: - Wifi does not work in the rooms (despite the insistence of the staff). It's relatively OK for basic whatsapp, but you can't load websites. Not OK for an 'international' hotel. - location is really bizarre - kind of a random industrial area, no real reason to stay around here. Next time I would stay somewhere more central. Taxi drivers do now seem to know the hotel. I didn't eat in the restaurant - it seemed very expensive, which is perhaps representative of the hotel itself....trying to be something its not.

It was a very short stay for just one night but was enough to approve room facilities, breakfast and hotel location. Wifi was ok in tge room, and staff were helpful. The hotel is also near the airport and that was great to avoid as much traffic as possible.
