Tres moyen pour un trois etoiles. Rien d extraordinaire en dehors d un petsonnel tres gentil et avenants. Taximens attachés ou affiliés a l hotel sont de veritables escrocs. Pas de tarifs. Ils font tout pour vous soutirer un maximum d argent. La direction de l hotel devrait les reguler pour sa reputation.

Every time I travel to Douala I stay at the Planet Hotel because of the consistency that I get from the staff and services. In addition, the rooms are a good size and the internet works all the time.
