Reviews for Saffana Hotel
Review 1:Ask for every payment in this hotel for a receipt immediately after youput the money on the counter. We had a big hassle about cash paymentwhere the receptionist Grace said she would make final receipt in themorning. In the morning new Staff had no records about payment and Gracedenied to cash the money from us. After hours of complaining thedirector finally paid us the money back.A Shame this hotel hires suchcorrupt employes. There are plenty of honest well educated otheremployers to hire in Cameroon.
Review 2:Good rooms in a bad aerea but close to airport. A very good choice tostay first and last night with this nasty flights middle in Night fromand to Europe. Good free shuttle from/to Airport. Order one hoursbefore you really need then it is in time.
Review 3:The hotel needs new carpets and new decor, is old but with good bones.
Review 4:Front desk and room service, gracious and accommodating. Spacious room. High ceilings, clean sheets, nice thirsty towel. Great sink, good shower pressure, good internet, good taxi service a call away. The back room was nice and quiet.
Review 5:Almost nô wifi reception In the room. Need to be closed to the receptionist to get wifi.
Review 6:The room was cleaned everyday. No theft of items during my stay.
Review 7:The hotel is located outside of town, just off the very busy main highway, not a great area to spend any amount of time. The room itself was ok, but there was no fan or air-conditioning. My window opened up onto a construction site next door, literally no more than eight feet away. The workers were walking along the balcony just opposite my room; they could easily look into my room. Obviously, I could have closed the curtains, but it was quite stuffy and hot in the room. There was very slow internet in the lobby. I was staying there because I had a day and a half to wait for my flight. I suppose the hotel is close to the airport, but the Douala airport is very close to town anyway, so it is not really important to stay near it. I would not recommend it, even at $36, or stay there again.
Review 8:The staff were nice.
Review 9:we erer there only for 1 night after a flight to douala from paris. the hotel is very old and simple, no breakfast at the place, and you can recive a rest for your payment

Review 15:As far as Cameroonian hotels go, it was rather okay. Not a lot of money for a western tourist. Clean enough. Air-condition. Wi-fi works. Close to airport. Was picked up by hotel personell as soon as I got my luggage at the airport.
Review 16:Internet in the room was very poor, no remote for the very small TV. The water was not good (smelt bad like rustiness)

Review 18:Met at airport by a member of staff to use the shuttle, he had 2 guys with him who were trying to scam me left right and center, by exchanging money, organising a taxi, buying them beer. They claimed to work for the hotel (they didn't) and the hotel guy just let them and even joined in a bit. I didn't part with anything but felt the hotle guy was very unprofessional. I also had a 4am alarm call meant for another guest, when I said they had the wrong person they just hung up.
