I stayed at Saffana hotel for 3 weeks with my sons and we had a terrific experience at this facility. The staff was very polite and quick to address any concerns. The bedrooms were cleaned daily, breakfast was delicious and we felt safe the whole time. This is the third time I am staying in this hotel and I will recommend it to anyone traveling to Douala . I will definitely stay in this hotel again and again
