I stayed at Saffana hotel for 3 weeks with my sons and we had a terrific experience at this facility. The staff was very polite and quick to address any concerns. The bedrooms were cleaned daily, breakfast was delicious and we felt safe the whole time. This is the third time I am staying in this hotel and I will recommend it to anyone traveling to Douala . I will definitely stay in this hotel again and again

Get away from it
First, they couldn't find my reservation and asked me to pay in cash, way more than what I paid on Hotels.com
Then, I got robbed at the tip of a knife. The receptionist, Mary (Marie) was horrible every time I had to interact with her.
And I almost forgot, tiny young roaches
