I stayed at Akwa Palace for 7 nights. Beautiful hotel, for me the best in Douala right now. Friendly and very helpful staff. Good service and the room was clean with a lot of amenities. I will definitely come back. Shout out to Donald from the cleaning service.

L’hôtel est composé en deux parties, l’ancienne et la nouvelle. Les chambres dans l’ancienne aille sont plus simples, mais plus spacieuses, plus fonctionnelles et moins chères. Elles sont équipées de clims splits individuelles. Les chambres de la nouvelle aile sont déconseillés, car moins grandes et équipées d’une climatisation centrale parfois bruillante, et non fiables. La restauration est correcte sans plus. Le grand atout est la piscine
