    Everything is good here, had a really nice stay on a business trip. The staff is being amicable and helpful. The place has particularly good and absolutely perfect location in the centre of town. It's also just next door to Yaounde, the grocery store for bottled water and a taxi...

    Everything was ideal!

    It was a convenient base for our good stay. Great connection to National Museum of Yaounde, it' s 1 mile away. Dine at Le Moulin de France, which is located within 800 feet from the hotel. We loved the location: D

    Review of Merina Hotel, Yaounde

    I had a pleasant experience at Merina Hotel. the inside was quite clean, and I booked a room that offered an exceptionally comfortable bed, a handy work desk, as well as tea and coffee making facilities, along with a television for entertainment. Having a bath in the bathroom was a delightful bonus. the hotel's location is convenient, situated right next to a grocery store for bottled water and offering easy access to numerous restaurants. Zamzam Well is only 2 km away, making it a great choice for nearby exploration.

    I had a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel! The location was perfect, right in the city center next to the main market. The staff here were exceptional, always attentive and eager to assist. The room service was excellent, and the housekeeping kept everything clean and tidy. I also appreciated the free airport shuttle service, which made my travel arrangements much easier. The outdoor swimming pool was a great place to relax and unwind, and the sun terrace provided a beautiful view. The free Wi-Fi was a bonus, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. this place exceeded my expectations and provided enhanced comfort and quality services.

    I would highly recommend this hotel for a family vacation.

    I liked the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms were properly maintained and the hotel fragrance was impeccable. The hotel is also situated in a great location, with many tourist spots nearby. The staff were welcoming and always ready to help, which made the experience enjoyable.

    I disliked the slow Wi-Fi connection and that the water pressure was low. During the Easter egg hunt, I had to use the public restroom, which was not well maintained. The hotel staff could be a bit more efficient in addressing guests' complaints. I didn't enjoy my time at this hotel due to the slow Wi-Fi and low water pressure.

    The hotel had a convenient location for business travellers, with easy access to the airport and city centre. the breakfast was basic but decent, with a good selection of bread and eggs. Some rooms had reliable air conditioning, making for a comfortable stay during the hot weather.

    The staff gave a poor impression with rude behavior and unresponsive service, which detracted from the experience.

    Stayed in the centre of the city for a quick city break. the hotel was located within walking distance of good restaurants and shopping. the hotel room was clean and comfortable with pleasant decor. the Wi-Fi was free and reliable. There were a swimming pool and a gym available.

    The breakfast somewhat lacked variety. the dining room seemed dated compared to the other parts of the hotel, which was a bit odd.
