Relais Saint Hubert — Hotel in Communauté urbaine de Garoua

In all my recent international travel this has been my worst hotel experience. Came to Cameroon for the first time for a wedding event and was provided with accommodation. From outside the hotel looked just average with the hotel grounds and quaint huts the main actors of this betrayal. Once inside the rooms you realize that appearances can be truly deceiving. You can feel the springs of the bed's mattress and therefore a most uncomfortable night awaits, the white sheets are darkened by long time use, the wardrobe looks exhausted of standing and my showers dripped till dawn after I used them. The hotel appears to be well located but can't be sure since i barely know the Garoua, the price of rooms range from 40USD to 120USD per night.

They told us it was fine. Anything would have been better than...

Our hotel room smelled like mold. We were lucky, since our bathroom had a toilet seat and toilet paper. The water is so acrid that it rusted holes in the bathtub. If you stay here, bring your own sheets, toilet paper, soap, and towel. The hotel restaurant was a bright spot. For around $8 USD you can get a large chicken, fries, and a beer. $5 USD will get you a good cup of coffee and a baguette. For a good night sleep, stay away from the salad. I didn't see the swimming pool, but I heard it looks...
