4-Star Hotels in Lagos State, Nigeria

Set in the city’s highbrow area of Ikeja, 3 miles from Murtala Muhammed International airport and ten minutes from the commercial district of Allen Avenue, is the luxury boutique CitiHeight Hotel. It is also in the vicinity of several global hotel brands including Ibis, Sheraton and Radisson Blu. Having booked our holiday straight after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s July 19th announcement, my daughter and I took our first post COVID-19 international trip in search of some culturally relevant inspiration. Lagos was a great option as it is on the UK government’s amber list of countries and a destination where we could really get immersed in the culture. Our UK airport experience was hectic to say the least, and we arrived a day later than scheduled. Even the most-prepared traveller is advised to have two or three back-up plans in case of “incaseities”. I sent a quick email to the hotel, explaining the last minute change in plans and luckily for us, Banji, the hotel manager was very accommodating and sympathetic to our plight. Upon arrival, we were treated like VIP’s by the polite and friendly hotel staff who took our luggage and escorted us to our room on the 6th floor. Prior to our travel, we had made reservations through booking.com and in response to our welcome email, we made a special request for “a high floor with a birds eye view”. While our preference was peace and privacy, we anticipated endless trips down to the restaurant and bar. Our executive room was pretty much like the photos on the website. Palatial, lustrous and spacious, featuring a plush king size bed with bespoke bedside cabinets and an inviting lounge area. Alongside the usual amenities, there was the obligatory hand sanitizer, but I couldn’t help but notice the bold and intriguing artwork decorating the walls. What a fantastic way to showcase emerging as well as established artists. CitiHeight is a luxury boutique hotel, on par with international standards, and I would go as far as calling it an ‘art hotel’ considering the vast art collection and attention to visual aesthetics. The allure for me was the authentic art pieces dotted throughout the hotel. From the hotel entrance, to the lobby, restaurant, and on every floor. I saw choice object d’art pieces that fused local elements of traditional art within the luxury architecture, giving the hotel a sense of high-end opulence fused with contemporary cool. I began to envisage a ‘classic meets contemporary’ theme for a photo shoot. Tip: Take some Instagrammable shots around the hotel (Do not touch artwork). Pool Life: When it comes to ‘pool life’ at CitiHeight, just grab a sunbed and relax. Although the pool lacks an outside view, poolside was a popular hangout for my daughter and her friends. Since it had a private/secret garden feel that was ideal for swimming, sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun during the day. The pool was also a perfect place for a social distancing party by night. Just beside the pool is the m

Facilities: relatively simple, but basically there, and relatively new. There is coffee downstairs, Chinese and Western food upstairs, as well as sports and massage! Hygiene: relatively clean and hygienic Environment: There are many people and the location is pretty good. You can see many black people taking photos in the lobby every day, and you can also see many stewardesses and stewardesses waiting for pilots. Service: OK, not 100 points, but 80-90 points

Amazing staff that went out of their way to ensure our stay and event were perfect. We had a large number of guests with multiple logistics and all were handled immediately without issue. From front desk staff, restaurant staff to housekeeping we were met with the utmost respect and kindness. Would highly recommend the Movenpick for a convenient location from individual guests to larger events.

During my recent stay at Park Inn by Radison, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and comfort offered. From the moment I checked in, the staff displayed remarkable hospitality, ensuring every need was met with a smile. The room was impeccably clean, well-furnished, and thoughtfully designed, providing an atmosphere of relaxation and luxury. The amenities, were top-notch and added a delightful touch to the experience. The on-site dining was equally impressive, with a menu that catered to diverse tastes and dishes

We stayed in this clean hotel for 2 weeks during our summer vacation. Everything works in this hotel. The lift is reliable, hot and cold water with reasonable pressure. The restaurant is open 24 hours and the breakfast buffet has acceptable standards. Their rates are reasonable. The staffs are courteous and helpful. The porters are helpful during checking in but they could do with more porters to help with hand baggages on subsequent days

The Christmas decor was awesome, I loved the touch of Nigerian dishes in the buffets served. The staff were very helpful and polite. The transport service was excellent (for a day trip to town) Highly recommend the hotel. Within walking distance of various restaurants and clubs. The jollof pasta is excellent 👌🏾

The 4 night stay in Ivy Emerald was a wonderful and breath taking experience. The environment is very clean and beautiful. The rooms are well decorated with fully functional facilities. The staff are very friendly and accommodating as they are always willing to assist. The only area that requires improvement is the breakfast as it has limited options and the buffet does run out quickly. It was a good stay overall and well recommended.

This is a well furnished, comfortable hotel and it’s my second time staying here. However I doubt I’ll return again. This is because there is now a music kiosk in front of the hotel that insists on blasting music so loud it’s impossible to sleep. It’s that bad. The hotel management have refused to do anything about it or report it. The noise comes right through the closed windows. Sadly this will cost this wonderful hotel a lot repeat business. No customer is going to come back to suffer this noise oppression. The noise has definitely robbed it of a five star rating.

Had an amazing stay. Everything worked great. Mini pool and mini gym to complement it. Breakfast was tasty with a decent variety. Although I had a nasty experience where I ordered for dinner, a spaghetti bolognese meal, where the meat was rotten :-( any cook can tell if food has gone bad but for it to have been served to me, made me question the food in store and played it safe by eating elsewhere after that experience. Aside that Wifi worked well. The frequent power cuts were not felt as a generator kicked in a few seconds after the mains went off. Overall I Enjoyed my stay but very disturbed by the food experience. May be a one-off but just be mindful

Visiting a protea in Nigeria used to be a pleasure but since its relationship with Marriot quality of certain aspects has declined although not yet to the level of the former Sheraton in Abuja. Rooms are OK and the beds up to usual Sheraton standard. Pool is nice and the location facing the ocean pleasant if you have a room with a view. Access to the hotel is via a road in pretty poor shape.. Gym is small with a couple of treadmills, a gym machine, couple of bikes and a manual elliptical trainer. For me the pleasure of a Protea was its fantastic breakfast buffet. Sad to report this is no longer available with a very poor selection, instant coffee only, no decent meats or cheese, no pastries . Overall very disappointing for N14,00 ($30).. Internet connectivity just about OK..

The rooms have regular cleaning management, laundry service is free, the three meals a day are especially suitable for Chinese tastes, and there is also a garden swimming pool, as well as a bar and karaoke entertainment facilities. This is the most comfortable Chinese hotel in Africa.

I went in to this hotel upon strong recommendation from a friend, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in. I stayed in the Royal Suite which was everything I expected and more. The staff were very friendly, professional and courteous. The entire hotel is very clean, the rooms nicely appointed and the decor very fitting. The gym met my workout needs. The breakfast options are somewhat limited, but one could always find something to eat from the buffet. The restaurant serves very good food for lunch and dinner, my guests and I enjoyed all the food we ordered. The TV channels definitely need to be clearer and finally the hotel needs to do away with the cheap toilet papers in the toilets/bathrooms. These are the reasons for not getting 5 points. I will definitely return to the hotel anytime I am back in Lagos

Lovely hotel, 24/7 electricity, rooms are clean with comfortable beds, the manager Amarachi Kalu is a very pleasant lady, wifi is very erratic, so if you are planning to work, bring your own dongle to avoid the stress, be prepared for the Nigerian nuances such as one towel in bathroom for 2 guests!, (you will need to ask for extras daily),key cards deactivating each time either of us left the rooms!, breakfast is only for one guest- the other pays!, I was there with my husband for two weeks and we changed rooms 4 times due to issues that could have been avoided by proper checks. The staff are very pleasant and trustworthy, our belongings were always left where we put them, nothing went missing. The food was average, I think more variety is needed. Tea /coffee and kettle provided in rooms, iron/ironing board is not standard, you have to request for it, if you are lucky, you get straightaway other days are hit and miss. There are several eateries, shops and supermarkets close by.

I had a good time, the ambience and serenity was amazing. Good customer service and there are so many nice locations to take pictures. We also enjoyed the buffet at the restaurant. The pool was nice, but I’d suggest that there’s a bar there with nice music. I also enjoyed the massage at the spa.

I stayed here for a week on business. This hotel has excellent service from reception to housekeeping to room service. The room that I got was spacious and very quiet - great for a good night's sleep. The hotel has a very good spa and wellness centre. The food is high quality mainstream fare. Not particularly creative though, and no plant-based main dishes.

I stayed at the Blowfish hotel on 13th January 2022. It was advertised as a four star hotel. The signing in was uncomplicated and the reception staff were helpful and efficient. I booked a deluxe room and was taken there. The room was good - neat, tidy and spacious. The air conditioner worked. The bed was comfortable. It was nice to have a bath in the accommodation as well as a shower. So given all of that why does it only merit a rating of 3? Well, because when you book a four star hotel you don't just expect accommodation of good quality - you also expect a four star hotel to have an eye for and an attention to detail. This was sadly lacking. Firstly, having stayed in hotels in different locations of different quality for the past 40 years, this is the first time I have stayed in a room which did not have a single clothes hanger. Secondly, I'm a tea drinker. The only drinks provided were sachets of coffee and green mint tea (yuk!) so I went and bought some regular black tea. Thirdly, as the bath is also a shower, there is a fixed panel half the length of the bath which prevents easy access to the taps and means unless you have very long arms, you can't put the bath plug in or turn on the water without getting into the bath - a tense moment as you wait to see whether you have guessed right and the water comes out of the faucet or the shower head. Luckily, I got it right. Fourthly, they tell you on arrival that there is room service and vaguely tell you where breakfast will be served but there's no information pack or room service in the room. This would be helpful and would probably generate more room service revenue. The breakfast was just ok although the card you are given on arrival says breakfast is served from 6am - it's not,,, its 7am. The girls at reception did mention this to me but maybe it should also be reflected on the room key card to avoid any confusion. Finally, the TV was a waste of time. I think there were five or six channels available and three of these had a 'fuzzy' picture. Really? A four star hotel? So. all in all a nice place, good accommodation, nice service but the devil is in the detail. For many people these issues will be a minor distraction. To me the difference between lower and higher quality hotels is attention to that kind of detail. Little things mean a lot. Good but must do better!!

Riviera Hotel provides a warm and inviting atmosphere, which made me feel right at home. The environment was clean, the rooms were big and comfortable, and the bed gave off a homely feeling. Best of all, I didn't have to look far and wide for good food because the fine dining restaurant, Oceans5, is located right beside the hotel.

wanted something different this weekend than our usual sceenery & locations. grounds are clean. staff is helpful, approachable and knowledable. ALL STAFF DEPARTMENTS SHOWED/ENABLED TEAM WORK accountability-which is rare ESPECIALLY for a chain(that'z evidence of TOP NOTCH professionalism). food was decent, room service is 24 hrs and there's a variety of cultural dishes from all ova the world. pool side is cool, there's also a cabana for those who wish to get cozzzziiieeee. also sitting area just for talking, sceenery, business/whateva. the rooms were decent size for the price and heart of the location. there are many entries within walking distance, local atms/bank branches along side. THEY DO NOT HAVE A ATM on site. above average on fridge in the rooms-you won't disappointed very sheek and above average on television size AND BRAND{trust me on this one, i am a travel nurse i have traveled MUCH}. from my experience all their rooms seem to have a sitting area within it-not usual for most hotels just anotha added benefit when lodgin with victoria crown on victoria lsland in lagos. the tubs are VERY deep-which is romantic and suffice for those looking to add to the moment OR just a great tub bath. BUT not very age friendly though, for the kiddies not safe for the disabled/matured/seniors/elderly a huge precaution/fright. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL when getting out. not even a grab bar is present. all marble and glass. VERY VERY nice restroom and set up though. very update, with crown molding and all its extras. laundry service is great prompt on return and honest. NOT LIKE THE SHEARTON 4 POINT: all MY CLOTH returned bacc to me.......hhhmm. wifi connection wasn't that great. channel selection was fair. there is a bar and restaurant on site as well. my expereince with the gatemen the duration of my stay while going in and out was just as pleasant and professional as well. front desk staff presented very neat in uniform, spoke clearly and each were considered anytime we had a question on destination we wish to go, service they offered or in idea of what to eat. there is also a gym. there were children present NONE of which were in age to make inappropiate noises said to mention we had good nite sleep NO LOUD NOISES any of the dates at various times of the day, noon nite or weekend we were present-WHICH IS GOOD lol thank you again cynthia for makin our weekend GREAT EMPLOYEE AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. take care. stephen and bola egedegbe
