Hilton Yaounde

I recommend

注意酒店的經理一位女士不友好，定了五天，提前一天退房結果收全款，死活不退多定的一天

Spent 5 nights in a King Deluxe Executive. Highlights: 1. Very large, comfortable room. Housekeeping service very thorough. 2. Very pleasant pool area. 3. Excellent buffet breakfast; good restaurants in general; executive lounge more than adequate. 4. Warm, friendly service. Issues to bear in mind, which likely apply to every hotel in Yaounde: A. Even premium wifi is fairly slow: about 0.8 Mbps download, 0.6 Mbps upload. B. There are some mosquitoes. I wouldn't wear shorts or short-sleeved shirts in the evening. I didn't experience any of the noise or fusty smells that a few other reviewers have mentioned.

I spent a few nights in the Yaounde Hilton and it was a mixed experience. I arrived and went through what has to have been the grumpiest security check I’ve had in a while. Hilton - please ask your security to at least greet people, maybe even be friendly; or at least polite. And they were like this almost all the time… Anyway I had booked online (bizarrely it is far cheaper to book online that actually through the hotel), and when I asked for an extra night the hotel wanted to charge me almost double the rate it was on Hilton’s own website. My room was adequate. It was dated and needs a refurb - and the bathroom could do with a deep clean. Food was broadly ok; but disappointing. The breakfast buffet was quite limited and exactly the same each day. It is bizarre that in the tropics only very limited fruit was offered. The Safou restaurant was fair. Pricey but some good prawns. When you get charged $30 for a burger you want it to be good - and it wasn’t. I strongly suggest the Hilton kitchen engage some of the many local organic farms to increase the range of salad items, fruit, local butter and so on. It’s all available very nearby! In short while staff of the hotel were friendly and tried to be helpful, it’s sort of got the ‘I’m the only 5 star hotel in town’ vibe where frankly it is well below most decent hotel standards and certainly the worst Hilton I have been to. And it is a hefty price! That it is in Yaounde is not an acceptable justification - it could be a lot better and should be a lot better.

Very happy to have chosen the Hilton for our time in Cameroon. Here for several months, so this is our home. So good to have a refuge of sorts from the noise and chaos of the city. Love the roof top restaurant and sushi bar, the pool and the one massage I have had thus far was fantastic. I have discovered some walk to areas not to far that gets me out of the traffic and exhaust of the busy streets and provides a glimpse into the lives of the local population. The staff at the hotel have been vert friendly especially after they have gotten to know me and my wife.

Old glory vibe but does not stand up to a Hilton standard in any way except its price. Everything about it screams 1980s or 1990s at most. Check in took forever. I tried to borrow an adaptor and the only guy who had one was nowhere to be found. Breakfast was bland, fruits were not even ripe at peak season. The shops were uninteresting. Staff were indifferent. Not a memorable experience.
