Hotel Pekassa de Karché

This friendly hotel decorated with local crafts and fronted by bronze statues is by far the best choice in Foumban. Just 200m from the royal palace, it makes for a pleasant change from the norm in Cameroonian hotels, with smart, clean rooms, well-informed staff and good security. There's a decent on-site restaurant, too (mains CFA2500 to CFA4000).
