Séjour correct dans l'ensemble, mais : - Nourriture pas incroyable - La navette qui devait m'emmener à l'aéroport n'est jamais venue. Après 20mn d'attente on m'a rassuré qu'elle était en route, pour finalement m'avouer qu'elle ne viendrait pas. Comportement non professionnel à la réception

Je suis femme seule en séjour à Yaoundé pour la première fois. Le personnel ici est professionnel et chaleureux. Je me suis sentie bien accueillie et en sécurité à chaque instant à cet hôtel. Le restaurant offre des repas de qualité, le buffet pour le petit-déjeuner est excellent. La terrasse située à l’avant de l’hôtel, donnant sur la rue est un espace très agréable. Situé tout près de l’Institut français, endroit agréable à visiter. Hôtel fortement recommandé!

Séjour de 2 nuits a l'Hôtel Merina, très bon accueil à la réception, la chambre a avec des équipements de qualité et très confortable. Seul bémol le Directeur qui mange au restaurant et passe devant les clients sans dire bonjour et sans le sourire et également les discussions au bar entre les serveurs.

야운데에서의 하룻밤.

시장 한가운데있음. 무거운 짐은 계단으로 들고 올라가야 함. 직원이 옮겨 주기도 하는데 불편. 시장 한가운데 있러서 소음이 좀 있음. 치약 칫솔 제공 안되고 헤어 드라이어 없음. 6시반부터 조식 가능하다더니 그 시간에 음식이 없음. 조식 먹는데 직원들 마스크 안끼고 음식 옮김. 그외 시설은 나쁘지 않으나....글쎄 이게 4성급 호텔인게 맞나?
