Find the Cheap Victoria Island Hotels

Great hotel. Very clean and lots of activities on site. Food was delicious 🤤 and the staff were really kind an accommodating. It’s the perfect place for solo travellers who are in Lagos for business or pleasure.

Breakfast was good. Wi-Fi was not very good.

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.

Pillows were fluffiest and most of the staff were very polite and smiled. However, I disliked the fact that room service would come in after the room has been cleaned to drop the floor flat. I was woken up from sleep twice during my two night stay from room service I hadn’t requested for. Other than that I believe they have one of the best breakfast options compared to hotels of their size.

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!!
