    quiet location
    noisy environment
    outdated facilities

    Good location away from the traffic, poolside working area, other guests including loud music until 1:30 am

    A master key scenario is concerning!!! The one lift is insufficient for the entire block!!! Rooms need an upgrade and better ventilation is required!!! Awkward housekeeping timing limits comfort!!!

    vibrant pool
    well-crafted cocktails
    limited breakfast options

    great experience with minor hiccups

    The pool atmosphere was absolutely vibrant at night, providing a perfect setting to unwind. The cocktails from the bar were wonderfully crafted, adding to the enjoyable evenings. I particularly loved the city view from my room, which made for a captivating backdrop as the sun set.

    However, the breakfast options were somewhat limited and didn't reflect the quality of other dining experiences.

    cozy room
    cleanliness
    great meals
    poor lighting
    breakfast options
    room mismatch

    I loved the pool area. the ambience at night felt vibrant with the lights dancing off the water. The restaurants on-site served some great meals. I particularly enjoyed the lamb curry, which had fantastic flavors. My Standard Double Room 'Level' was cozy, clean, and had all the essentials ready. However, the lighting in the room was very poor, making it difficult to read or do anything that required good visibility. Breakfast options lacked variety too, being too expensive for the quality offered. I initially checked in with my friend, but they mistakenly placed me in a room that didn’t match what I had booked, which was disappointing. The staff eventually resolved it, but it shouldn't have started that way. Despite these hiccups, I appreciated the cleanliness throughout the hotel, particularly in the restaurants.

    Just an optimal selection for a brief pit stop in Lagos with best value. The staff were quick to help when I needed a late check-in. Make sure to ask for receipts when making any payments to avoid confusion.
