The hotel met and exceeded our needs. Good choice.

We visited Cameroon for 2 weeks. We stayed at this hotel the last 2 days of the trip and were very pleased. Many other hotels we used were really poor. The Hôtel Bano Palace was a pleasure and the shuttle to the airport was great. The pool was clean and nice, a cocktail by the pool made for a nice evening. Thumbs up by our family.

restaurant had great options in menu. we found traveling around Cameroon all restaurants basically served the same items but hotel restaurant was a little more "international". bar was good as well, friendly staff, a little smoky. great services offered (money exchange, calling cards, bank machine etc) clean, quiet, accommodating staff. hotel pick up available. since my friend arrived before i did they even offered for her to come along to pick me up when my plane landed. surrounding areas are a little run down but close to main areas in Douala.

Disappointment

My disappointment started from the airport. The shuttle was not there though I wrote to the hotel to request one. I took a taxi that I paid close to 200 dollars! double the price of the hotel. The taxi driver told me that fuel price has gone up and that the hotel was far. I remember reading that the hotel was 10 min from the hotel. The driver said that was not true. Any way I paid. When I arrived at the hotel, I was told that the driver was at the airport waiting for me at the parking lot. How on earth would I know that that where he was supposed to wait for me! Any way I requested a wake up at 3.00 since I had my flight the following day at 5.00. no one woke me up, thanks go I did myself at around 3.10. the confirmation mail I received was saying that my note was paid with my credit card and that I did not need to pay again. At the hotel I was told that they never received any thing. I paid again. I still need to check whether my credit card was debited. After all, this was one of my bad experience since I have touring the world on official business.
