8/10 Very good

Comfortable room, with a special mention for the bed (I like it firm and it was made with military tightness!). Convenient restaurant and bar, although I would have enjoyed some more continental options for breakfast (eggs & bacon, or omelet). Conveniently located, as I was presenting at the CAA, a 200m walk.

Cet hôtel est impeccable digne d'un hôtel européen, le personnel est très sympathique et les chambres sont très classe et très propre. Petit souci de connexion avec le Wi-Fi mais apparemment ils étaient en train de résoudre le problème.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Chambre propre. Ne pas compter sur le wifi il est instable , il marche une fois sur 10, donc difficile de travailler sur son ordi. Personnel très courtois, poli. La porte de la chambre est bien fissurée (221) et nécessite une réparation. L’hôtel n’est pas vétuste , plutôt d’aspect rénové et ça fait plaisir . Il manque un sèche cheveux dans la douche pour les femmes. Durant la 1ere nuit le disjoncteur a sauté dans la chambre à 3h du matin , et j’ai dû attendre le matin pour qu’un technicien vienne réparer et avoir du courant . L’expérience est quand même positive car le personnel est plutôt bien sympathique et accueillant.

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?
