I remember it being well situated, pretty central to a few places in town and it had an OK bar, rooms are comfy and its got everything you would expect, including a business centre for internet use and email retrievals.
When you're pool side and you ask for a pineapple juice, the waiter goes and gets a pineapple and juices it.
The main area in the hotel is quaint, there is a good bar inside and its generally clean, even if you're going to look around for somewhere else after, it generally makes a good start point to get your bearings, I'm not aware of any guest houses or B and B's in Douala, Le Meridian was certainly comfortable enough to stay in for a week or so, though it maybe a bit more on the expensive side than somewhere more local.
