Hotel Re-Ndama

This hotel is correct but expensive when considering its global condition. Compared to the others Le Meridien hotels I've stayed in, Re-Ndama is on the low side. There has not been any improvements in the last 5 years (date of my first stay) at least, which means that the hotel looks quite old and the rooms as well.

The stay is always pleasant at the Meridien Hotel. I would like to hope that they will be renovating soon though, as the hotel infrastructures is a bit old and will need some work.

beautiful pool area rooms need more lighting hard to work from room also interior is worn overall a 3

Not exactly up to international standards but is one of the better places to stay in town.

Very good location. Nice pool area. Good breakfast and evening buffet. The hotels looks and fells a bit old. The shower makes the whole bathroom stand under water for the rest of the day. Overall a fine hotel. Kind and helpfull staf.

Service too slow. No towels on rooms. Had to ask twice.

There was a cockroach in my room, air conditioning was not working, and the mini refrigirator was missing. Towels did not look cery clean. Toilet flush kept on leakign. Staff was very unfriendly. They could not find my reservation durign check in and asked me to prove my room was indeed prepaid during check out. Internet availability is through prepaid cards only and they ran out of cards so I had no internet connection all day.

good business hotel, well located in the city.

This hotel is very much over priced. a Local beer cost you around three times the price than bars around the hotel.. The food is reasonable, although expensive compared to the restaurants around the hotel.

The hotel, like the country, is almost entirely French-speaking. If you do not speak French, you will most likely have a difficult time. The staff usually says "yes" or "ok" to requests made in English, but this do not mean that anything will happen. When a request is fulfilled it usually took 3-4 hours. The staff also does not usually answer their phones, and do not even think about getting an e-mail response. About the only internet connection is in a privately run business near the elevator, and it is quite expensive and works sporadically. The food if fine, but it is very expensive. The pool and patio in the back is nice, but realize that the beach below is extremely unsanitary. There is a viaduct loaded with sewage that flows out less than * yards up the beach. If you want to be close to the US or French embassies and not too far from the center of town, this is a pretty good choice. If you are an American, your standards should be lowered. The Gabonese people are very pleasant and attractive, but the French culture has definitely affected their attitudes and behavior.
