Guest Reviews
- mamadou029 (10/5): G - Beautiful and clean place with. All staff were very welcoming staff and helpful. I had a great overall experience.
- 319ily (10/5): libreville trip - best stay at this hotel. I like the environment and the location especially I recommend all friend to choose this hotel in case the are coming for a business trip in downtown
- Verified traveler (8/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt - Sehr hilfsbereite und kulante Mitarbeiter (Ausflug, späte Abreise), gute Lage des Hotels in Libreville
- Jean Charles (6/5): Bof bof pas très propre et service extrêmement l… - Un hôtel qui selon moi ne mérite pas 4 étoiles… personnel Tres attentionné mais quelle lenteur dans le service que ce soit pour une simple omelette le matin ou un plat du jour Etat de propreté autour de la piscine très discutable quant au cafard retrouvé dans la salle d’eau….
Peu de chance d’y retourner surtout que les tarifs ne sont pas donnés…..
Un client déçu
- babyrock246 (8/5): Value for money!! - Our check in was seamless although I found it our that the front desk guy had to ask the guy in charge of online bookings if we could pay cash. The rooms are big enough and were clean . Language was a barrier but we muddled through successfully . This hotel is a city hotel so it has no views but it’s central and was a walk away from most of the places we had to visit , breakfast was a choice of 3 types and not much choice for people who have a few food restrictions, Room service was prompt enough 40 mins for a well done steak and the food came in hot , there is a small gym and a spacious pool area . Arsene at the reception was a pleasure to deal with and he always had a smile . We will certainly return
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hôtel calme et confortable.
Bien situé.
- luisfelipec519 (10/5): Best option for Libreville! - This hotel provides you not only with a perfect location but also with one of the best luxurios and comfortable installations: rooms are very up to date, as well as the gym and pool. Last but not least, very nice staff! Totally worth staying.
- ruizsobrino (10/5): Great hotel,pleasant stay, very professional and friendly staff - This hotel is over the top in Libreville. The rooms aren´t too big but they are very cozy. The bed is really confortable and the decoration are very careful.
The service is above the average in Libreville. Staff très gentil. Guy, Louison, Sosthene, Jimmy, Wilfred, Arséne,Alice, Cecile are really nice.
High standards in the restaurant with a french cousine touch.
The hotel manager David and the public relations May are quick off the marks for whatever you need.
I was several days in the hotel and I will repeat without hesitation.
- 372jesusc (10/5): Rcomended hotel - Excellent hotel. I was there for a few days and the experience was wonderful. Very well located in the center of the city. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The service is wonderful and very friendly. Special mention to the hotel management that was always attentive to the welfare of the clients. If I go back to Libreville it will be my first choice.
- GreenBay_WIKathy (10/5): ate lunch and dinner here - my daughter"s apartment is about 2 blocks from this hotel so we had dinner there first night I arrived outside by pool and then came back a different day for lunch and both times excellent service and very good food and very unbusy.

- luisolalla (10/5): GREAT STAY?WONDERFUL FOOD? AMAZING SERVICE - Olalla
I have been located in the front part of the hote for several days. Great views
Hotel service, reception, waiters and barmen are always with an smile. I like that.
Pool and hotel amenities are better than I thought...
I really recommend it. If I come back to Libreville I would repeat.
- enriqueh182 (10/5): OUTSTANDING HOTEL - My room was quiet and clean and the hotel was in the best location I can imagine. It was a block from the estuary, close to so many restaurants that I would have to come back just to enjoy the amazing food again. Everything was a walking distance away, and so was shopping. I had the best time of my life, thanks to the concierge and the helpful staff at the hotel. the rooms was great, clean, and the services outstanding. The pool quiet good, just small but it seems like a oasis in the middle of the city. I travel frequently and have stayed at many places, but the Hotel has been the best overall experience so far....clean, & location, location, location!
- doming52 (10/5): Great hotel - It´s a small cute hotel located in one of the best neighborhoods of Libreville (next to the Presidential Palace).
Rooms are new, modern and clean. Nice wifi connection with a router in every room which makes wifi signal strong in every corner of the hotel. Bedroom is new and quite comfortable. It has cable tv.
Service is excellent, always willing to please the clients, always smiling.
It has a cute pool where you can enjoy a cold beer while using your tablet trough wifi connection.
Gym is nice, with several running, step, cycling and weight lifting machines.
It has a free parking area just in front of the hotel.
Totally recommended.
- I5731YWdavidl (10/5): Feel like home - During the stance I really felt like at home. Fantastic facilities, great staff service and very carefull even with the samllest detail. Best location in city busines area. The restaurant Lórchidee de Mar is also part of the complex and absolutely reccomendable for breakfast and lunch.
Thanks so much to all the hotel team.
- Bernadene26 (10/5): Fantastic, Extraordinary Kindness from the Team! - I want to express my sincere gratitude to your excellent, well groomed young vibrant staff for the extraordinary kindness that they all showed me when I recently travelled to Libreville. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The Hotel was fully booked and I was unable to experience or see the Luxurious Picture’s rooms seen on “http://www.legacyhotels.co.za” website. The Property had a delightful ambiance and I can say without a doubt, the best all-round fine dining experience you can have in Libreville. High 5’s to the Team!
- asturexplorer (10/5): High quality , high price - It's expensive, but that's the price you are supposed to pay if you want European commodities in Africa.
New Hotel: Nice pool, nice rooms, cozy bed, good AC, decent gym, good food... Really charming people working there.
Wifi could be much better... In terms of connection, and power.
Great.
- markhU5594MD (10/5): One year later. - The hotel has been open for a year now and I am very pleased to see the stndards and quality is as high as always. Sadly I was unable to stay at the hotel due to it being fully booked - I did however take all my meals atthw hotel -the food and service remain the best in Libreville far above any other restaurant - Chef Lawrence and his team are the beat in Gabon. Well done Le Cristal congratulations on your first year.
- Nicebody (10/5): The Best Hotel I Never Slept In - I have just returned from my first trip to Gabon where my reservation for the Hotel Le Cristal in Libreville was unceremoniously cancelled the same day I was to arrive while I was literally in the air from N'Djamena to Libreville. Normally, this would be a scathing review. Instead, it is one where I will be espousing the virtues of the Hotel and its General Manager David Vanagt.
Upon my arrival, I expected to see a driver from the hotel as one had been arranged and confirmed earlier in the week. Unfortunately, I saw no one. Alone, at night, with rather poor command of the French language, I called Le Cristal and Mr. Vanagt personally called back. It appears as though the UN military had taken over all his hotel rooms. Sensing that I was more than a little upset at this turn of events, Mr. Vanagt came to pick me up and took me to the lovely Royal Palms Hotel where he stayed with me until I was comfortable in the new location. He then not only agreed to pick up the bill for my entire stay, but lent me a car and driver for the two days I was there. The second day he personally provided the car and was the driver. He had drinks with me when I arrived and arranged a special dinner prepared by your amazing chef on my last night in Gabon. He suggested sites to visit during my stay. He also personally showed me the hotel facilities which were AMAZING. The rooms (and more importantly the bathrooms) are new, clean, pristine and ultra modern (although small, rather European sized). The fitness center was quite large with brand new equipment, including a Smith machine. Despite the city center location, the hotel was very quiet and the pool was lovely and peaceful. The Executive Chef is from Madagascar and the menu is filled with wonderful seafood dishes (which I had the pleasure of eating).
This review is important not for what happened or even for the description of the hotel, but for the ability of the hotel's management to turn an absolutely disastrous situation into a pleasant experience. Whatever could possibly go wrong with your trip to Libreville, this hotel will go out of their way to handle it for you. The UN selected it for their troops even though the location of the conflict they were dealing with was in a neighboring African country. What better recommendation could there possibly be?
