The best accommodations Cameroon

Budget & Tips

The problem of accommodation will not be the same if you land in Douala or Yaoundé. Indeed, for longer stays, the price of furnished apartment rentals can be attractive in Yaoundé, whereas finding accommodation in Douala can be a real challenge. However, there are still a few hotels of decent standing that are open to negotiating room rates, depending on the length of your stay.

The possibility of booking a furnished apartment via certain applications is beginning to emerge more and more.

To be booked

As a rule, the most affordable and best-located hotels are quickly snapped up. It's a good idea to book your accommodation if you can.

For food lovers

In Cameroon, we're generally much more salty than sweet. Although some excellent bakeries and patisseries have sprung up over the last ten years, eating a good croissant or baguette isn't exactly commonplace. So, to avoid disappointment, opt for a local breakfast, much better made and much tastier than any attempt at viennoiserie. Whether it's an omelette or fritters with kidney beans, this typical breakfast is one for the books!

Tourist traps

When you arrive at the airport, if you don't yet know where to put your suitcases, your cab will certainly suggest a hotel where you can spend the night. As a Westerner, you'll tend to be directed towards the fanciest and most expensive hotels. If you ask for advice, be firm about your budget, and make sure you're directed to a safe neighborhood. Once you're satisfied, it's a good idea to leave your driver a tip in exchange for his assistance.
