Akwa palace is situated in the heart of the city and is very close to the main business community. This is a 4 star hotel, but the furniture is very old. Rooms are large with balcony. However Tea/coffee kettle is not provided. While staying choose room which are garden/pool facing as that will be quieter. other option is road facing... More

I stayed there for almost a year thinking it was the best Douala had to offer. When my company banned us from using it (one room cleaned out and one kidnapping/robbing of company personnel) I moved to le Meridien and what an improvement. The Akwa Plaace management seem to want to drive you out to eat and drink every evening... More

My room faced the street and I enjoyed standing on the balcony and watching the disastrous downtown traffic.Sitting in that traffic, however, not at amusing. Excellent restaurants, a cafe, a fabulous bakery, seedy nightclubs, and some grocery stores are all a short walk away, and if you're unsure the hotel security will gladly escort you. The pool and deck are... More

Best place tried in Douala... restaurant in the hotel little bit poor, better outside

As I am forced to stay here for almost two months due to my company, here's what you can expect! CFA min. 60,000/night for a basic room plus 10,700 for breakfast. Other food prices seem too high for the quality. In the middle of the Akwa area- busy, dirty, noisy, many Hawkers and shady characters just outside of the front... More

All my stay was very pleasant with comvenient location and competent staffs. On the negative side, my room was a bit noisy (street side) with only single-glazing window (and they love to honk in Cameroon) and... More

Have staid already several times in other hotels in Douala before trying this one and i must say it is a very good hotel versus price you pay taking in consideration you're in Africa not in a touristic environment. As every where in Douala if you go out in the evening you are obliged to take a cab, even to... More

Supposed to be one of the best hotels in Douala. Nice lobby and pool area. Rooms are very simple. Stay away fom standard rooms. Prices in restaurants on European level.

Reception and bar and restaurants areas clean tidy and OK. Room was old, tatty, mildewed walls, ceiling panels stained and some of them holed due to water damage. Only minmal water pressure in shower. Noisey front room. No safe deposit box in room. Building work on going in hotel. Lift didn't go upto my floor, had to walk part way... More
