I recently stayed at the Palm Camayenne Hotel in Conakry and had a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a good place to relax. One of the highlights was the room service—I ordered twice, and both times the food quality was excellent, easily the best part of my stay. I also appreciated the ATM on-site, which made accessing cash much easier, and the airport pickup was flawless, with no delays or confusion.
However, there were some notable downsides. On my first night, loud music until midnight disrupted my sleep, which was frustrating after a long journey. The pool area was crowded and smoky, likely because outside guests are allowed, which took away from the experience. At the restaurant, the limited option of a buffet on one evening was disappointing. Another issue was the lack of support with taxi services—the hotel didn’t help us find fair-priced transportation, and we ended up with a driver who charged exorbitant rates for short distances.
Overall, while Palm Camayenne is not up to the five-star standard you’d expect in other countries, it seems to be one of the better options in Conakry. Despite the drawbacks, I would consider staying again if no better alternatives are available.
