The pool and garden are a very nice place to relax and unwind, very friendly & helpful staff. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 8 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Nice but tired hotel, good for short stay only. Old hotel in need of some renovation, the grounds were nice especially out by the pool area, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis A 1 Sept 2018 #### Our choice hotel in Douala. 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Aug 2018 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Samuel, Hyattsville MD 9 Aug 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### No more ##### Samuel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin 2 Aug 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 17 Jun 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 #### Axel 1 May 2018 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Axel ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pegasus Hotel By the Waterfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Georgetown-Hotels-Pegasus-Hotel-Guyana.h41448445.Hotel-Information) > > [Large 3 bedroom caravan in camber sands family friendly holiday Park.](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rye-Hotels-Large-3-Bedroom-Caravan-In-Camber-Sands-Family-Friendly-Holiday-Park.h21988336.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Singapore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Singapore-Hotels.d3168.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bethesda-Hotels-Bethesda-Marriott-Suites.h17695.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ile de Re](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ile-De-Re-Hotels.d6035081.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cornwall Cottages - Helscott Barns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bude-Hotels-Cornwall-Cottages-Helscott-Barns.h38832051.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Goa Calangute](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calangute-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Goa.h5171850.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Maritur - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albufeira-Hotels-Hotel-Maritur-Adults-Only.h1117914.Hotel-Information) > > [Noku Kyoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Noku-Kyoto.h12714915.Hotel-Information) > > [Senia Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paros-Hotels-Senia-Hotel.h11880333.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yorkshire-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d6342462-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Barcelona - Molins de Rei by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Barcelona-Molins-De-Rei.h1353878.Hotel-Information) > > [ME Ibiza - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Eulalia-Del-Rio-Hotels-ME-Ibiza-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World.h562132.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Vienna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d178316-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [1 Ashford Road Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-1-Ashford-Road-Guesthouse.h46070140.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Daniya Denia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Denia-Hotels-Daniya-Denia-Spa-Business.h1113199.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluesun Hotel Neptun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tucepi-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Neptun.h2805571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Haringey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haringey-London-Hotels.0-n179529-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beaconsfield Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Beaconsfield-Hotel.h2695234.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Maydrit Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madrid-Hotels-Hotel-Maydrit-Airport.h2206360.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from bradley intl airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/bdl/flights-from-bradley-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Lusaka (LUN) to Livingstone (LVI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lun/lvi/lusaka-to-livingstone) > > [Flights from Narita (NRT) to Auckland (AKL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nrt/akl/tokyo-to-auckland) > > [Flights from Lahore (LHE) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhe/del/lahore-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Carterton (BZZ) to Mount Pleasant (MPN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bzz/mpn/brize-norton-to-mount-pleasant) ### Cars > [Car hire near Port of Naples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Port-Of-Naples.d553248621579009936.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Holiday Rentals > [Brisbane Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Holiday-Rentals.d179993.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Delph](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Delph.dx3000407861) > > [Visit Norton Disney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norton-Disney.dx6084474)
