J Gibson Hotel

The Peachtree Hotel Lagos

"I was working nearby, and it was getting dark and it was too late to walk far, so I found a hotel nearby. The courtyard was spacious, parking was convenient, and the lobby was bright. My first impression was quite good, and the room was also quite good, reminiscent of a typical Chinese hotel. On the way upstairs, I saw a small animal walking by. I asked the waiter what it was, and they said it was probably a gecko, common around here, so I didn't think much of it. Twenty minutes after checking in, I noticed a small mouse in the corner. When I went to check, it had already hidden behind the curtains. A closer inspection of the room revealed mouse droppings all over. OMG! I asked to change rooms, but the mouse wasn't there after the change. So why did it appear in that room? Any guesses?"

Monty Suites Lekki

"Awful from start to end. Perhaps this is the Norm in Lagos and as such this might be ok but for any European/American guests, I’d stay far away and splurge a little more on something decent. Booked the exec suite and was baffled. I can’t imagine how terrible the other rooms are. Large open room including bathroom however that’s where the pros end. Bathroom was filthy from top to bottom. As in made my skin crawl with the thought of using it. 1 toilet paper (not replaced daily) left between 2 guest. I towel to share. Bathrobe looks like a lab coat with no tie, only one per person. No slippers. No hand tissues. Floor was disgusting. Visible marks and soap scrums left on shower door. Very run down. Toilet doesn’t flush properly. Shower door doesn’t close leading to leaks all over the floor. No bath maths. No shower mats to prevent spillage or leaks. Extremely unsanitary. In the room, limited mosquito or ant repellants. Got bitten throughout. 1 complimentary water to share. One individual coffee sachet to share between 2. No iron in the room. It’s a fee to iron per clothing item. For a suite, you’d expect some sort of kitchenette but none available not even cups/mugs. Fee to use the hotels kitchen. Room service is on the pricier side but it’s 24/7 which is convenient. Room curtains are filthy with visible blood and stains. Ceiling is also filthy, looks like cello tape marks. Bedding is old and peeling. Reception is very friendly and proactive. Quick to respond. Mini fridge is warm. Ac is good. WiFi is very slow. Breakfast is Nigerian meals which are slightly heavy but decent though very limited options. No coffee milk at breakfast or juices. 2* hotel at best. Room is very noisy as it’s facing a Main Street so can hear every car noise and people arguing. Hotels main priority is to squeeze money out of guests as much as possible rather than providing a food service. More profit ran than client focused. December rates are very high. Limited power sockets even for an exec suite. Booked as no other reviews and photos looked nice so have benefit of the doubt but absolutely would never revisit. Pool is surrounded by football bar which is smoking free. Zero privacy. Great reception staff, would have given 1* otherwise"

Golden Tulip Lekki

"I have had a very disappointing experience with the Golden Tulip Hotel. I sincerely hope that some higher Management or owner other than Adeola, the Duty Manager (who lied to me on the spot), can resolve this matter ASAP. We mistakenly booked the Golden Tulip hotel online based on their advert, which presents their hotel in a very inaccurate manner. I got there and did not like it, and the advert was misleading. I told them I wouldn't stay. Adeola promised to refund the money in 3 business days. Today three days later we called back and they now say they won't be refunding it. Anywhere else in the world Visa will refund (since I used an Access Bank Visa Card to pay for it) I need the management team to refund funds that were paid out for a service not provided. Is this not a scam, you have not mentioned how you will refund the money after Adeola promised to refund the money and has said nothing about it. It is called false advertising in another country other than Nigeria you will go to prison, are you doing 419? Please refund the money or we will take other steps to get the money back. You are now refusing to take our phone calls because you are being fraudulent. Only in Nigeria will this happen. If the hotel will not refund the money paid online for services not provided, where will the confidence come from to pay for things online in Nigeria."
