Hotel Meumi Palace

Bed was comfortable enough and breakfast was ok. However, staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, air conditioning didn’t work, the WiFi barely worked and when it did, only in a few locations around the hotel. There were no towels the first two days and when they arrived they were the size of a postage stamp (think bathmat). The bar was reasonably priced and staffed til late and the shuttle drivers were reliable and friendly. Some of these things just come from being in a developing country, but others the hotel could improve, especially sin It’s not a cheap hotel.

建物が古い。部屋は最低限の設備はあるが、きわめて簡素。ドアも貧弱である

Quand je suis arrivé à Meumi Place, il n'y avait pas d'électricité( Générateur en panne et coupure dans la ville). J'ai du donc aller au Meumi Hôtel, moins bien situé. J'ai bénéficié d'une "suite" à 35 000 FCFA payée par Meumi Palace je suppose. La restauration est rudimentaire, sans restaurant voisin comme à Meumi Palace. Si je n'avais pas dèjà payé à Hotel.com, +/- 45 000 FCFa/nuit je serai allé voire ailleurs. Qu faites-vous dans ce cas ?

Good outer view , a reception and bar with some African artifacts but disappointing rooms for such a location. The breakfast is basic but has a prime central location in Bastos Yaounde. The beds aren't up to scratch, not worthy of class to mention.

Bonne situation géographique de l’hôtel mais l’entretien laisse à désirer. On ne s’intéresse qu’aux draps de lit Le sol, le frigo bar et les toilettes sont laissés pour compte

I went to Meumi Hotel and not Meumi Palace and since they have the same owner, I thought i should leave them a review. I gave them a one star review 4 years ago because the service was poor, water was not working, and everything was old. I left this place thinking I would never come back until a couple weeks ago, when I went on a business trip to Yaounde and a friend of mine told me that they changed things around and are under a new management. The hotel has been remodeled, rooms are good size, bathroom clean, all you can eat breakfast included. Service is also much better. If you had a bad experience like me in the past, i would encourage you to give this hotel a second chance. See pictures below

1)The passage of rooms were very shady and the lights in passage automatically shuts down every two minutes making it complete dark. 2) Dont you dare to leave your keys elsewhere -they dnt have duplicate keys and eventually have to break open the door which also took 2 hours 3) Lighting in room is less then a night lamp though size was adequate 4) We checked in for two persons negotiated for a certain amount with breakfast-got surprise of my life when at checkout the receptionist asked for extra money for second person's breakfast and they were very audacious enough to claim that this is thr hotel policy breakfast is included for only one person. Probably only hotel in the world with this policy. 5) Worst part -500 USD were stolen from my passport bag - I did the mistake of leaving it at the room 6) For breakfast they served just bread jam butter and a croissant and a two slice of pineapple.After two slices you cannot ask more fruits-as per thr policy. 7)No shampoo,electric kettle ,fridge present in room. 8)A group of prostitutes gather outside hotel gate after 9 to run thr simultaneous business with hotel.

A parte le lenzuola rotte e le scarse suppellettili della stanza, il dramma sono le dotazioni del bagno, dove si trova una saponetta di dimensioni microscopiche ed un asciugamano. Per farmene dare un altro ho dovuto scendere a prenderlo alla reception, visto che non lo portavano. Preciso che la stanza prenotata era per 2 persone. Stessa cosa per la colazione: una compresa e la seconda a pagamento. Ero già stato altre volte e l'ho trovato peggiorato per mancanza di manutenzione

Dopo le mie sollecitazioni le cose venivano sistemate rapidamente. Il personale è gentile e collaborativo. L'ubicazione a poca distanza da un posto di polizia è favorevole riguardo alla sicurezza

We stayed with a team of 8 in 2 self-catering apartments in the annexe. All in all this arrangement was very good for large group, and having 2 lounges etc. was a bonus for 6 day stay in Yaoundé. Having the back services of the hotel for cleaning, etc. was very good. However the stay was marred by the the fact that we had to change both fridges twice, before we could store food. The kitchen itself is poorly equipped, with very little workspace to prepare food. There was non-existent wifi. Most importantly was the discourteous, almost insolent behaviour of the team at reception. There insistence on payment as a pre-requisite to actually doing anything was shocking, considering I had paid a deposit a week earlier when I visited. In conclusion, in a part of the city where most of the hotels are poor in standard, they have a jewel that could be exploited with a little effort, and a lot less arrogance.
