Hotel SAWA is a great hotel in a good location. It is a good deal. The staff is very helpful. The on-site restaurant is clean and serves good food as well. The rooms are clean and serviced daily. The front desk staff are available and helpful. We have stayed there 3 times now. The main lobby is under construction at the moment, but they have done a good job of making the construction invisible. ##### Dennis A Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dave Sep 7, 2019 Liked: Staff & service #### Hotel needs updating badly Very old hotel in a great location.

We have stayed at the Sawa Hotel on two different trips. We are always excited to arrive there. They have a nice restaurant attached to the hotel, with a buffet style service. The tap water always has plenty of pressure and hot which is a nice change from several hotels we have been in. The air conditioning is always working well and the linens on the bed and in the restroom are always clean. It is our choice hotel when we are in Douala. ##### Dennis A Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin Aug 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### SAWA for Business and swimming I stay at the SAWA on business fairly regularly. It is an older property and you can have issues in the room on occasion with things such as the AC. Service is very good with some great. The outside eating area is very nice but the inside is a bit lacking. They do keep the rooms clean, pool is nice and a bit crazy on the weekends with families. WiFi is very spotty and I would recommend getting a local hotspot. ##### Kevin Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Stéphane, USA Jun 17, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasing staff The staff was amazing et the rooms were very big and comfortable. ##### Stéphane Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### ponpon, ドバイ Feb 27, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 建物は古いけれど清潔で快適。 建物は古いですがエアコンの調整もちゃんと出来ていたし、シャワーのお湯も熱いくらいで疲れが取れました。従業員も親切でよかったです。ただしVIPがよく来るのでそのたびにけたたましいサイレンや、警備が厳重になり面倒だったです。 ##### ponpon Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michelle, Kinshasa Oct 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Conference hotel, moldy. The hotel staff are friendly, but the rooms are a bit moldy and damp--constant struggle for places in douala. The restaurant takes a long time to order, and for large conferences they can't keep up with the demand, even though they do try hard. I'd rate this as a 2.5/5 hotel because I find it just under average. ##### Michelle Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### willi, Zürich Jul 9, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Central, noisy Restaurants: Menuecarte contents lots of things which are not available eg. Demi bottle of vine, vine in the glass spaghetti carbonara Quality of buffet in the evening: poor + expensive ##### willi Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### D, Japan Jul 3, 2017 #### Okay It is a very old hotel but besides that its okay. There was internet connection. Not a prefect one tho. ##### D Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin May 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Improving! The SAWA has been slowly sprucing back up. I have been coming here on business for a number of years and the last two years have shown improvements. The room had been freshened up, was clean (never an issue) AC worked well (improvement) and the hand held shower had a bracket (improvement). I don't do the breakfast buffet. Internet seemed more reliable this trip but it was a short stay. ##### Kevin ### 8/10 Good #### Zabou, Montréal, Quebec, Canada Apr 13, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bon hotel propre lit confortable... Tranquille, près de tout... confortable et accueillant. J'ai apprécié mon séjour et je le recommanderait ##### Zabou ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin Mar 1, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### An okay spot on a business trip. Have stayed here a number of times and they are working to spruce the place up. Fresh paint, new elevators, generally cleaner. However, it is an old property and there is still work to be done. For example on the air conditioning in the rooms, fixing shower heads (though always plenty of hot water), and providing ammenities like a water boiler for tea and coffee. The outside area is pleasant especially for breakfast (skip the breakfast buffet) or for the evening wind down. ##### Kevin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Javier, Honduras Jan 25, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nice hotel near to the airport The hotel is very nice good swimming pool that you can relax and good restaurant bar beside. ##### Javier ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Downtown Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Chicago-Chicago-Hotels.0-n6350699-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Finest Playa Mujeres by The Excellence Collection - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Sam-Hotels-Finest-Playa-Mujeres-By-The-Excellence-Collection-All-Inclusive.h8673168.Hotel-Information) > > [The Paradise Peak - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Stay-Pic-Paradis-Guest-House.h49002497.Hotel-Information) > > [Solmar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Cabos-Hotels-Solmar-Resort.h544730.Hotel-Information) > > [Samesun Toronto - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Samesun-Toronto.h76923268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Rockwood Conservation Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Rockwood-Conservation-Area-Hotels.0-l6291649-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d180002-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Marina Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/National-City-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Marina-Gateway-Hotel.h2816688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Shawnigan Lake Beach Resort 2 Bedroom Beachfront Condo!](https://www.expedia.ca/Shawnigan-Lake-Hotels-Shawnigan-Lake-Beach-Resort-2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Condo.h54409248.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandos Playacar All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Sandos-Playacar-All-Inclusive.h892167.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottages Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Ontario-Cottages.d11178-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d178314-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Tokyo (HND)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hnd/toronto-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Portland (PWM) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pwm/mco/portland-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/ylw/kitchener-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Honolulu (HNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/hnl/montreal-to-honolulu) > > [Flights from Seattle (SEA) to Santa Ana (SNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sea/sna/seattle-to-orange-county) > > [Air India Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-india-from-vancouver-intl-to-indira-gandhi-intl/ai/yvr/del) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Waterloo (ALO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/alo/toronto-to-waterloo) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyj/edmonton-to-victoria) ### Activities ### Packages > [Toronto Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto.d178314.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Hollywood Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood-Beach.dx553248635975850057)
