The hotel selection was a bit of an internet gamble as I had never been to Cameroun before. But the Ibis name was known to me in UK, and its position near coast was suitable. I was very pleased with my choice.
I had no problems with checking in or out, considering my limited French. The room had everything I needed, and no less than I would expect in any good European hotel.
Restaurant much better than expected, great breakfast buffet and lovely varied food each day, staff often changing their dress from smart uniforms to traditional dress, that was a nice touch.
Recommend a visit to Limbe although a 2 hour journey. Although obviously a tourist, I felt very safe walking round marketplaces in Douala and everyone was friendly and helpful.
