Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel SAWA

Old or vetust shower tower on bath room. Room not smell fresh at all

Good customer service.

nothing

Good location, friendly staff. The facilities need an upgrade.

Very good stay, near the airport and the room was clean

First red flag my booking wasn't available when I there. Second the receptionist 😡

It is a mistake to book this property through Expedia. Expedia did not send my reservations information to the property and it caused me so much headache. I paid for breakfast on one of the days I reserved but Expedia claimed to the property that there was no breakfast included.

Hotel SAWA is a great hotel in a good location. It is a good deal. The staff is very helpful. The on-site restaurant is clean and serves good food as well. The rooms are clean and serviced daily. The front desk staff are available and helpful. We have stayed there 3 times now. The main lobby is under construction at the moment, but they have done a good job of making the construction invisible.

Very old hotel in a great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool area great for sunset drink and snack.

AC didn't go below 23deg, rooms are in desperate need of attention, there is a new lobby area being built. The pool and garden are a very nice place to relax and unwind, very friendly & helpful staff.

Old hotel in need of some renovation, the grounds were nice especially out by the pool area, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

We have stayed at the Sawa Hotel on two different trips. We are always excited to arrive there. They have a nice restaurant attached to the hotel, with a buffet style service. The tap water always has plenty of pressure and hot which is a nice change from several hotels we have been in. The air conditioning is always working well and the linens on the bed and in the restroom are always clean. It is our choice hotel when we are in Douala.

I stay at the SAWA on business fairly regularly. It is an older property and you can have issues in the room on occasion with things such as the AC. Service is very good with some great. The outside eating area is very nice but the inside is a bit lacking. They do keep the rooms clean, pool is nice and a bit crazy on the weekends with families. WiFi is very spotty and I would recommend getting a local hotspot.

The staff was amazing et the rooms were very big and comfortable.

The hotel staff are friendly, but the rooms are a bit moldy and damp--constant struggle for places in douala. The restaurant takes a long time to order, and for large conferences they can't keep up with the demand, even though they do try hard. I'd rate this as a 2.5/5 hotel because I find it just under average.

The SAWA has been slowly sprucing back up. I have been coming here on business for a number of years and the last two years have shown improvements. The room had been freshened up, was clean (never an issue) AC worked well (improvement) and the hand held shower had a bracket (improvement). I don't do the breakfast buffet. Internet seemed more reliable this trip but it was a short stay.

Have stayed here a number of times and they are working to spruce the place up. Fresh paint, new elevators, generally cleaner. However, it is an old property and there is still work to be done. For example on the air conditioning in the rooms, fixing shower heads (though always plenty of hot water), and providing ammenities like a water boiler for tea and coffee. The outside area is pleasant especially for breakfast (skip the breakfast buffet) or for the evening wind down.

The hotel is very nice good swimming pool that you can relax and good restaurant bar beside.

Travelled to Cameroon to see my fiancee, this is not my first visit to Cameroon, and I have visited many third world countries. However, for the price, this was not a great bargain. Room is pretty crummy, bedding poor. AC worked well, and restroom was adequate. Didn't try the restaurant, looked at the menu and felt it was overpriced, so went out. Stayed in the Futuris Hotel on my way out, and also looked at the Star Land, both were nicer than SAWA, and similarly priced.

Hotel needs more investment to fit the category Room in low maintenance Water flushing continually
