3.0 star property
Foumbot
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1 review)
"The staff were professional and helpful. The room was clean. The pool was very nice, though a bit on the cold side. The sauna was not open at the time that I was there but it looked like it was in good condition. The food at the restaurant was very good. I think this is the best hotel for both Foumbot and Foumban.
