It's way too expensive to not have reliable wi-fi and water leaks in the bathroom. The breakfast that's billed on top of the room is overpriced given what's offered. The gym was also disappointing. The staff is polite and friendly, the best thing about the hotel. I won't come back because I feel like this is really not worth the money.

The overall experience was great. The food was good, the staff were helpful and courteous, and the environment was good. The only challenged was the internet connectivity which was not very strong. Since I was there on business, having goos internet was very vital for me.

As a travel and tourism company committed to quality and cultural resonance, we frequently recommend Hotel Merina Yaoundé Centre to our clients visiting Cameroon’s capital. Its central location on Avenue El Ahmadou Ahidjo makes it ideal for both business and leisure travelers, with easy access to government offices, embassies, and cultural landmarks. The hotel offers a range of room categories—from Standard to the luxurious King Suite—all air-conditioned and soundproofed for restful nights. Our clients appreciate the free high-speed Wi-Fi, secure parking, and complimentary airport shuttle (upon reservation), which add convenience to their stay. Dining at La Pirogue Restaurant is a highlight, offering refined local and international cuisine. The Bubinga Bar provides a relaxed setting for networking or unwinding after a day of meetings or sightseeing. The outdoor pool and fitness room are well-maintained and appreciated by wellness-focused travelers. While some reviews mention room service delays or minor maintenance issues, our guests consistently report a positive overall experience, especially when booked through Amigo Travel with personalized support. We proudly include Hotel Merina in our Yaoundé packages and recommend it for travelers seeking comfort, accessibility, and a touch of Cameroonian hospitality.

I stayed for 9 days during my work in Yaoundé. It’s been renovated. It’s located in the city centre. There is a parking lot in front of the hotel. The shower water temperature is great. The water pressure was a little fracturâtes but I have a positive experience. The breakfast option was great. They have a gym but I didn’t have a chance to visit. The dinner had a good choice to stay for several days. Many dishes were excellent. The internet was often unstable but I would assume the entire country’s connection is not necessarily good all the time. I would consider to go back if I need to come back to Yaoundé.
