Room was acceptable. Power outages and appliances ( coffee pot and hair dryer) not working are the reason for the rating.

The carpets have been removed from the rooms, which is a good thing. I enjoyed the Cameroonian dishes at lunch on Fridays. It's a bit of a change. The pool is very well maintained. It's still a great setting with all the space in the garden. The mattresses are very comfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised, contrary to what was said on social media. I dealt with a very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was spacious with a magnificent view of the sea and the pool. I was allowed to park in the parking lot at no extra cost.

Lors de mon dernier voyage à Douala, j’ai séjourné comme d’habitude pendant 6 jours du 05 au 10/05 à l’hôtel Sawa, un établissement dans lequel ma famille et moi nous sentions jusqu’ici bien et en sécurité. Sa situation géographique est rassurante, notamment parce qu’il accueille certaines autorités camerounaises et qu’il est proche du Consulat de France, ce qui est un point important pour moi en tant que Française. Cependant, cette fois-ci, j’ai été très déçue par la qualité du séjour. Malgré notre réservation, ma famille et moi avons dû prendre le petit déjeuner à nos frais, car le petit-déjeuner avait été supprimé, ce qui n’était pas conforme à nos attentes. Par ailleurs, l’état général de l’hôtel s’est fortement dégradé. Les sanitaires sont vétustes et très désagréables à utiliser. Les draps ne semblaient pas avoir été changés correctement, et les matelas paraissent extrêmement anciens, probablement pas renouvelés depuis de nombreuses années, ce qui a provoqué des douleurs corporelles. Les parties communes sont également préoccupantes : plafonds sales, fissures visibles, manque d’entretien général. Concernant le personnel, certains agents de sécurité sont sympathiques, même si l’on ressent parfois une attente de pourboire. En revanche, certaines dames de l’accueil manquent clairement de sourire et d’amabilité. Elles donnent parfois l’impression que les clients les dérangent ou qu’elles ont un problème personnel avec eux, ce qui est regrettable dans un établissement hôtelier. C’est dommage, car l’hôtel Sawa reste un bel établissement par son histoire, son nom et son emplacement stratégique. Malheureusement, aujourd’hui, il semble surtout vivre sur sa réputation. Malgré un niveau de confort et de propreté en baisse, les prix, eux, continuent d’augmenter. Je pense sérieusement changer d’hôtel lors de mon prochain voyage au Cameroun, car l’état actuel de l’établissement ne justifie plus les tarifs pratiqués.

Point de vue confort, propreté,, emplacement et amabilité, il n’y a rien à dire. Une des petites choses c’est les portes des toilettes ou de la douche qui ferme pas. Le restaurant est vraiment très bien bonne nourriture. La piscine est très agréable et toujours super propre. Nous avons passé 11 nuit dans cet hôtel qui est idéalement placé dans un quartier sécurisé. La réception est très serviable.
