    The gym changing area was outdoors and always occupied so I had to change in my room and where a tunic dress over my gym outfit that I could take off and put on before and after my session. Also the gym itself could do with a thorough clean and maybe needs an additional air conditioning as it was quite hot.

    The hotel was located in GRA ikeja and it took about 25 minutes to get there from the airport. I liked the room size, the small kitchenette area and the clean bathroom. Everything was well appointed and the staff were very welcoming. I also really enjoyed their breakfast as well as the pool and gym. For a small hotel they had a lot of facilities that met my needs. Will stay again when next I am in town.

    They could add more western style options on the menu but overall they have varied options for food.

    The location is good, not too far from the airport. It's quiet, conducive for working remotely and resting at night. The staff are polite, welcoming and will attend to you in good time.

    The bathroom needs some updating but not terrible. Water pressure good and hot. Stairs only for those not on the ground floor, however they have staff who take your bags upstairs for you so you are not carrying the heavy bags yourself.

    Breakfast was okay. However for the health conscious not too many options. It was a buffet with both hot and cold choices of food. I also liked that they offered breakfast for 2 persons instead of just 1 person which is common in a lot of Nigerian hotels even when you have booked a room for 2 persons. Location I also found to be very good especially if you don’t want to be far from the airport. A lot of good restaurants, banks and shopping mall close by. The room we had was quite spacious and comfortable that had a sitting area and a separate guest toilet. Some of the chairs had stains from past customers I guess but everything was clean. The bed was clean and very comfortable. We had a good night’s rest with no noise to disturb our sleep. They do have 24 hours front desk which worked well for us as our flight came in late and by the time we could get our bags and get to the hotel it was after midnight. There were several other travelers like us at that time as well. Hotel also excellent with communication. Shuttle service is available if you need it. Staff very professional and security very good.

    Different rates if you book in person as opposed to booking online via booking.com. I was told the mark-up for booking.com was substantial. Restaurant is expensive. Nigerian cuisine was delicious but the other "international" dishes should be avoided. Breakfast is interesting. As other reviewers have remarked. Hotel could improve by having staple breakfast items even if these are not necessarily western items. For example, staple breakfast items could include having the following items available every morning: Fried yam, plantain, eggs, Akara, fish red stew, sausage etc. You can then supplement this with your additions such as indomie etc. Fruits should also feature on the menu.

    Comfortable hotel suitable for international guests. Rooms are spacious, bathroom works and in order (being maintained to a good standard). Cleaning is very thorough. Pool area is nice to chill by but difficult to have food outside due to flies - not the hotel's fault, it is just the climate. Staff are very friendly and they handed out Christmas/New Years gifts to all guests. Good Aircon in the rooms.

    Not a lot of space for parking inside but ample room on the street outside.

    The Nigerian food is the best I’ve had at a hotel. Better than Eko suites.

    It's just a two storey building so I can understand while elevator may not be necessary, but the staircase is narrow. Apart from that every other thing is fine.
