Hotel Azur

I won't be heading back to this hotel any time soon. Unless I have received clear evidence that things have changed. The place is just overly poor.

No AC. One little piece of soap

Lovely, peaceful back garden area. Friendly, efficient staff. Comfortable. Some wear and tear visible on carpet.

This hotel is really well situated in the Bastos neighborhood of Yaounde, which is filled with restaurants and shops within walking distance, along with many of the Cameroon's embassies and large NGOs. However, the hotel itself was pretty crummy. The carpet is all extremely worn and stained, especially in the rooms. Sheets had holes and I found hairs that were not my own on them. The first room they took me to was actually occupied by someone else. The doors do not have a deadbolt but rather a simple push button that even I could have easily broken into. The bathroom didn't seem like it had been fully cleaned. Certain staff, like the doorman, were really lovely, while others were loathe to help. They tried to make me pay for the room again at check-in even though I had paid through Expedia. My rate apparently included breakfast, but they failed to ever mention this to me until checkout. Overall, I will try to avoid this hotel in the future, although there aren't a ton of options in Bastos.

unremarkable, expensive for what you get, but not much better around. at least it is in a calm area
