  Séjour agréable à Libreville

  Bon rapport qualité-prix pour cet hôtel. Très bon accueil de tout le personnel. De plus le resto juste en face est super sympa.

  Four stars based on my experience but I was upgraded

  When I first got here I was given a room that wasn't so nice, but within an hour Clarice (whom I thought was the owner but she is not) said I had been given the wrong room and was upgraded. The room I had was very large, with a huge bedroom, sitting area, foyer and a large bathroom. I found the staff had a better attitude than what I had experienced in the region, though I speak French so maybe that helped. I don't know if anyone spoke English. The breakfast was basic, a croissant, half baguette, yogurt and cheese, but certainly enough to get you going. There are a few nice restaurants in the area and two large supermarkets nearby where you can get provisions. I thought Clarice was really nice; she seemed to go out of her way to make sure I was comfortable which I appreciated.

  Nothing special but partly functional

  I stayed in October 2018 in this hotel. It was my second stay. First of all one has to realize that accommodation in Libreville is really limited and very expensive! The so called better hotels are all in remote areas of the city which will force you to use their own restaurant to eat and integrated shops to buy stuff of your daily needs which again is expensive. From this point Hotel Le Patio is convenient as it is located in Quartier St. Louis where you find shops, restaurants, clubs etc. all in walking distance (but uphill and downhill since Libreville is a quite hilly city - like Freetown or Kigali for instance). The rooms start from 40.000 CFA up to 90.000 CFA (suite), so in average 60.000 CFA which is roughly 95 EUR per night. However, as you might expect in Africa there are a lot of things who are not working in the rooms. On my actual stay I had to change the room due to the fact that taking a shower was life threatening. After showering for some minutes the metal shower holder and hoses gave me an electrical shock. The hotel staff promised to fix the problem but the next day it was the same. In the new room water only was available intermittent, sometimes no water came at all - sometimes just a bit... The AC worked and wifi connection was fairly ok (with disruptions and sometimes going very slow of course). So try to get a room on the first floor cause the router is mounted on the outside patio wall on the same floor. Some of the cleaners were very unfriendly behaving as they would own the place. On the same time they are more than lazy to do their job: Floor not cleaned, towels not changed, no replacement of toilet paper. Only the bed was made. When I told them that if they would work like that in Europe they would get fired on the spot no reaction came and it seems that they simply don't care about anything. After I complained this with the hotel management things got a bit better though. So this is a relatively affordable hotel in a strategic location. Even some business travelers are staying here. However, the place needs to be refurbished totally (at my stay some rooms were presently renovated), especially the sanitary plumbing and water supplying system. Don't expect any luxury, it's very spartanic but given the lack of a better choice in Libreville a stay here is still reasonable
