“Good Stay in Yaounde”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2013

As discussed in previous reviews, the Hilton remains the best option for Yaounde. I had two different rooms at the Hilton (while coming and going from Cameroon), and both were roughly the same. Nice view, decent size, good bathroom, comfortable bed and access to CNN. Nothing terribly fancy, but perfectly serviceable. I know that the hotel is attempting to fix... More

“Should prop up things”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013

I stayed in this hotel for three nights. Faced two major problems - I took a quick shower during the day and found to my surprise that there were no towels available in the room though it had been made up. ON checking out, my visa card could not be accepted because I had apparently crossed my credit limit. The... More

“The best hotel in Yaounde”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2013

This hotel is head and shoulders above anything else that is available in Yaounde but at a price. At more than $400 a night it really needs to be so when you experience poor customer service when checking in, it does not bode well for your stay. If you have stayed at other Hilton hotels, then you will be no... More

“Not a great hotel, but apparently the best in Yaounde”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

What's great: The staff. Across the board, from the smiling and considerate hostesses at the door of the restaurant, to the young man at the reception when I arrived, tired and sweaty around midnight, they are uniformly excellent, smiling, and helpful. Like everyone else in this beautiful country, for that matter. The breakfast buffet is also very nice, but fresh... More

We stayed at the Hilton Yaounde for 2 days when we arrived in Cameroon and again for 2 days before we left Cameroon. The service and rooms were excellent. We actually had a problem leaving the country and we had to stay another day. The Hilton gave us a room free of charge since they were late getting us to... More

“Hilton Yaounde Cameroon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

This is a wonderful hotel in a country lacking top hotels. The service and food were excellent. The hotel is convenient for most activities in this area including the amazing Boulangerie Acropole for all types of delicious food. The rooms are nicely done, clean. The air conditioner cools nicely and is quiet. They have a back up generator that is... More

“Best choice in Yaounde”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

Costly but it is worth it. No other hotel in Yaoundé offers this variety of services with such a high quality. Staff is helpful and friendly. Room is spotless and quiet and well equiped. Food is tasteful. It is ideal for short business trips.

“I guess if you're staying here, you've no other choice.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

I'm sure you can do worse in Yaoundé, but still.... This Hilton is much more Paris Hilton than Conrad Hilton. Flashy, pointless, and kind of gross. The front desk staff seemed dodgy moved in geological time and weren't even very nice. Restaurant staff seemed half asleep and terribly confused when asking about taking a coffee to a conference room. Rooms... More

Good (but overpriced) business hotel however lacking basic comfort (wifi, clean towels etc). Food and breakfast are good although quite expansive. The swimming pool is a real advantage.

“Overpriced nothing special...”

Overpriced hotel in the center of Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon. For over US$ 300, with taxes, per night, not even a free breakfast and Internet are included; a shame. I have been in much better hotels around the world with prices being a fraction of this one and the buffet breakfast and fast Internet were included. A good example... More
