In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Spotless, spacious rooms — Guests repeatedly mention the large, bright rooms with comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, and useful extras like a fridge and kettle.
  • Quiet yet central location — A 4-6 minute walk to the city centre, and close to the old town, marina, and several beaches, yet set in a peaceful neighbourhood.
  • Friendly, attentive staff — The hosts are described as kind, attentive, and always pleasant, which adds a personal touch to the stay.
  • Free parking and good value — Free parking is a practical plus in Lagos, and the guesthouse offers a solid room for the price.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Breakfast is a bit ordinary — While guests enjoy the spread, the dining rating is the lowest category at 7.6, suggesting it's not exceptional.
  • Not the cheapest option — With prices starting around £790 (GBP), it's a mid-range choice for Lagos; some travellers may find cheaper alternatives.
  • Adults-only policy — Families with children cannot stay here, which limits it to couples or solo travellers.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you arrive late, you'll need to arrange it in advance, as the reception is not open 24 hours.
