Je conseille et recommande cet hôtel à tous européens ayant besoin pour ses vacances ou déplacements professionnels de réserver les yeux bandés
- tatiana (5/5): 😓😓😓😓 - Bel emplacement vue la proximité avec l’aéroport.
Le service de navette 🥰 Hôtel désuet : les chambres ont besoin d’un coup de neuf 😓😓😓
Nuisances sonores : De nuit les bruits provenant du snack bar juste à côté empêchent de dormir. De jour, le personnel de chambre trouble le repos. Leur bureau étant logé au même palier, lorsque les dames s’y retrouvent, elles bavardent sans retenue on dirait qu’elles sont au marché 😡😡😡😡
- Verified traveler (10/5): Un très bon choix - Séjour très agréable, personnel accueillant et très serviable. Proximité de l'aéroport et quartier tranquille.
- Ella Muguette (10/5): - Rien à signaler
C'était super
Merci à toute l'équipe
- Eugene (1/5): Pas agréable, malgré la proximité de l'hôtel à l'aéroport - La proximité de l'hôtel de l'aéroport Désinfecter les chambres (plein de cafards); Petit déjeuner pas assez fourni; service médiocre;
- Fidelis (5/5): Will stay again in case of airport needs - friendly and helpful staff bare rooms without any facility except for TV and AC. Bathroom needs maintenance
- Charles (9/5): -
- Tele (9/5): -
- mamoudou (7/5): - L'accueil et la proximité avec l'aéroport de Douala. la navette de l'hôtel est gratuite pour l'aéroport, et le chauffeur était très avenant ! Équipement à renouveler
- Katie (8/5): Perfect for the night for an early flight - Stayed here for a few hours as my flight got delayed. Great they offer free shuttle to and from the airport that is just 10 minutes away.
Would recommend staying here if you have an early flight.
- Charles (5/5): -
- Jean-pierre (8/5): Correct -
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The hotel is old and lacks maintenance. It us situated in dirty surroundings. Lights are not switched on in corridors. Bathrooms are not cleaned properly. Breakfast is monotonous.
- Mary (1/5): Very rude staff, no empathy - Even thought I had booked my hotel stay via booking .com , my children where treated absolutely badly . There was absolutely no empathy by the very rude staff . The last time my dad stayed in this hotel two years ago , the service was great but absolutely rubbish at the moment . I had my secured booking online for my children , was a previous customer, had sent them an email and called to check all ok. I will give them a zero star if they had one . If you are abroad please ensure you plan to pay the cost in Cameroon off front before your stay
- Jacques (6/5): - Secteur pas recommandé
- Martin (8/5): Very good - Location is good to reach the Airport which is 5 - 10 min drive. Breakfast included in the price. I would come again It could be much cheaper. No kettle in the room.
- Bridget (9/5): Superb - Flexibility, I spend two nights at this hotel. Customer service is top. I will highly recommend. Just need a little modern furniture
- Jeanabo (9/5): It was excellent - The staff see very helpful and the property is clean and good value for the price paid.
- Danail (10/5): - The hotel is located nearby the airport. My flight was delayed and arrived very late but they were waiting for pick me. Breakfast is good
- Bola (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sheron (8/5): Very good - The hostel has exceptional services. I was extremely satisfied with the staff's performance and dedication.
- Muktar (1/5): Bad - The staff were friendly and helpful. When I needed some coins, they kindly assisted me. And when I had to change hotel because of the water issue they tried to help by offering me water in a 🪣 but I declined. When I requested for a refund, they assured me I'll get it and I did get a full refund minus booking.com charges. There was no running water which I only realised shortly after check in. I had to leave to a nearby hotel cuz I needed to take a shower. There was no remote control for the AC in the room.
- Frank (6/5): The hotel was fairly good and meeted my expectations of a short stay. - The staff was very freindly helpful and happy. they realy tried to make our stay very comfortable.
The shuttle bus went out of their way to pick us up at a great distance far from the average locaton of airport. The hotel was experiencing water problems, so there was no water on our 1st day.
The breakfast was suited more for locals than international travelers, the choices (buffet) was very limited.
- Janvier (8/5): It was very good -
- Sandra (5/5): Passable -
- EMMANUEL (10/5): - It was great experience
- Jean (7/5): It was pleasant - Near to the airport and free transportation to Airport Breakfast served after 7 am
- Candida (7/5): Good - Good and convenient location for transit travelers. Very close to the airport. They offer free transfer from and to the airport which is a plus! I stayed one night and the hotel was very convenient to my needs. Modest breakfast with well prepared beans and puff puff.
The restaurant food was good and served generously.
The personnel is friendly and always willing to help. The shower head in my bedroom was broken.
There were bars next to the hotel that play loud music and it was noisy around until late at night.
- Benoit (8/5): - Personnel sympathique et a l'écoute des clients
- Christine (2/5): Very bad - Nothing Every thing very dirty towel unclean room rid staff and unhelpful

- Jean (8/5): Very good -
- Colette (6/5): Pleasant - I really appreciated the fact that the staff were friendly and humble.
And they took the initiative of welcoming and picking up their customers from the Airport even at late arrivals. The rooms need to be ventilated, and renovated, the blinds are old, the bed sheets and blankets changed, toilets mirrors changed.
- Tambe Harry (10/5): - I will like the owners to add windows in rooms that are airlock like 213 where I spent a night
- Niels (8/5): Very good - Very good service from the staff.

- Sata (4/5): Disappointing - I like saffana hotel because, it is closer to the douala airport and it has a pick up véhicule. The hôtel is clean, But it has bad odour and a very poor air condition. I propose that all the Windows should remain open and à good technician to those air condition.

- ibrahim sani (4/5): - Their airport taxi, reception and restaurant are good
- Claude jacquis (6/5): - Le personnel est accueillant et serviable, seulement je n’ai pas apprécié de rester sans connexion internet toute mon après midi jusqu’à mon départ. Dons je n’ai pas pu communiquer avec ma hiérarchie, ni avec ma famille.
- CHU (10/5): - Customer service was excellent. Cleanliness of hotel is appropriate. They have breakfast every morning. It was a comfortable stay.
- Thomas (8/5): Impressed with Saffana - It was great for a small older hotel. Service was good. Very polite and knowledgeable in hotel and restaurant management. Although l speak french, l refused to as a test. I was impressed by their bilingualism.
- Chris (6/5): - Near to the airport
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I love their pick up services. The guy was there on time and waited for me to finish with all the procedures at the airport. Very friendly staff which made my stay so pleasing. Thanks for your services
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I stayed at Saffana hotel for 3 weeks with my sons and we had a terrific experience at this facility. The staff was very polite and quick to address any concerns. The bedrooms were cleaned daily, breakfast was delicious and we felt safe the whole time. This is the third time I am staying in this hotel and I will recommend it to anyone traveling to Douala . I will definitely stay in this hotel again and again
- Reichley (10/5): - Wonderful for the price, i will stay there again. Staff is cautious placement is good. Restaurant drinks are over priced for the location. Overall hotel is clean.
- Aurel (4/5): Get away from it - First, they couldn't find my reservation and asked me to pay in cash, way more than what I paid on Hotels.com
Then, I got robbed at the tip of a knife. The receptionist, Mary (Marie) was horrible every time I had to interact with her.
And I almost forgot, tiny young roaches
