“Wonderful hotel with large pool and good restaurant in the heart of Douala”
I highly recommend this place! Large rooms with well-functioning AC. Swimming pool is great, and the restaurant. Extraordinarily friendly staff. And a good price-quality ratio at that.

“This was definitely one of the most beautiful experiences.”
The breakfast outside was excellent in this wonderful surrounding, in a beautiful and nicely kept garden with corteous waitresses. The whole location had a wonderful atmosphere in accordance with the aim of the "Seemen's Mission". A wonderful picture galery in staircases about the live of seamen leads to a better understanding of this profession. When looking through the palm trees in the garden you could see the harbour and the containers. A beautiful swimming-pool was definitely an encore. And the family that runs the hotel is extraordinary nice and made us feel very welcome. Thank you for an unforgettable stay in Douala / Akwa /Cameroon.

“Convenient stopover in Douala”
The nice thing about Foyer du Marin is its location. A lot of places are actually in walking distance, and it isn't far from the airport. The outside area with its lush and green garden, the swimming pool and the restaurant area are quite pleasant.
