Am sure, Abuja Hotels were not considered. |

Nigeria is the only place in the world where what your pay is not commensurate to the service you get. Some of these hotels are no better than bread and breakfasts |

Billyonaire: Am sure why most hotels are very expensive is just mainly because they had to generate their own power all day, pump water et al. So all these reflect on the amounts they charge. Nigeria should fix stable electricity and they will see the positive ripple effects in so many sectors. |

High_Chief:You are so right. You need the power plants used by Eco Hotel, Four Point and Oriental. |

dejustice: Am sure, Abuja Hotels were not considered. I don't think so. apart from transorp hilton, and perhaps bolton white, Abuja does not really have five star hotels. the reason is not far fetched: Abuja is made up of mainly of salary earning civil servants, the type of people unlikely to patronize those hotels with cut throat prices. but in lagos, you have businessmen, oil tycoons, etc, guys with money to burn. |

Chidex2442: Dat is why i like calabar, here with N3500 u can get a good hotel attached with a commercial sex worker (ASHAWO) as value added services for a night! u must be a paddy man to think that brothel rooms are standard rooms, no standard hotel in the heart of calabar cost that little, except you forgot to say 'outskirts' of calabar, students areas and tinapa areas. Inside calite city, its not possible |

High_Chief: Not the only reason. Nigerian business people expect very quick return on investment. Businessmen are not investing for the long term; they want to recoup their money quickly due to the high risk of doing business in Nigeria People setting up schools do the same. They pack all the costs upfront by charging exorbitant prices. it's short-term mindset. Given higher labour costs and taxes in UK./U.S.A vs Nigeria the cost of running a hotel should be significantly lower. Plus hotels over there pay heating costs and Labour is unionized too. Staying in a hotel in Nigeria is just a rip off. simple 2 Likes |

doctokwus: Another factor to consider. Corrupt politicians who do not care how much they pay per night so this will keep prices very high. Some even have permanent rooms in Abuja hotels |

Billyonaire: Lagos Hotels. I thought Lagos Hotels were the most expensive. So we are second. The facilities are world class. Lagos happens to be the best City to enjoy money in terms of cash and carry enjoyment. And [b]no comfortable Nigerian lives abroad.[/b] Except those who are expatriates and need to work for 20 yrs to be able to afford a terrace duplex in the Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island. I love Lagos, home and homely. how long do those living in Nigeria have to work for the same thing (terrace duplex in Lekki)  20 months?How many out of 140 million Nigerians live in Lekki,Ikoyi and Victoria Island Last time I checked Hakeem Olajuwon,Deinde Fernandez, Finidi George,Chinua Achebe were Nigerian but they don't live in Nigeria Neither does Ben Okri nor Buchi Emecheta . If you have to live in those 3 places to be comfortable something is wrong. Why can't you be comfortable in Aba or Onitsha or Agege. No the facilities are NOT world class : frequent power cuts,poor on no internet access and cluless staff. I have stayed at four Sheraton Hotels The one in Lagos was the most Expensive though I must be fair and say comparable to the others but not the best. I am not sure what cash and carry enjoyment means but honestly Lagos has nothing to offer . Put it like this if I was not Nigerian ,having gone to Nigeria once. I would NEVER go there again. That is the current reality which can change but the starting point for that change is to remove all self deception. Can you go and watch any sports activity of interest live e.g football Basketball etc no Any decents sporting facilities No Theatre No Public Transport No Water transport or water sports no Decent beaches NO Facilities in Egypt ,Tunisia Madagascar and South Africa are a whole lot better than Lagos and No I would not even widen it beyond Africa because that would just be delusional. To say our hotels are expensive is not a thing of pride in the same was as it is for Geneva ; Switzerland is rich and Nigeria is impoverished. Most hotels rooms are paid for in Nigeria not by Holiday makers(Maybe Nigerian holiday makers) .Oh NO!!! but by Multinationals for expatriates of dubious qualifications on 8 times the international salary rate because no one wants to come except for pay. 2 Likes |

High_Chief:Partially true but hotels are cheaper in Ondo so there is a demand and supply issue. There has been little investment in quality hotels in Lagos. Miami with a population of 2-3 million has almost a dozen Sheratons not to mention others |

oladapo_a1: . Simple comprehension its not just a hotel in a city, its average of hotels in a city Thanks my bro. People don't really take time to read before hitting their keys. A recent research by the Hogg Robinson Group (HRG) has ranked hotels in Lagos as the second most expensive in the world behind Moscow, which oligarchs and bling reputation, pushed to first on the ranking. Keywords highlighted. |

Why do you waste your breath on a person like Billyonaire or whatever he calls himself. He's one of those fairly comfortable and dispises the less-privileged. He always has a axe to grind with those abroad. He does it in every thread. He brags incessantly about how comfortable he is in the midst millions of impoverished people. He likes to wallow in self-deceit in the midst of the monumental poverty around him. I know of many people living in that same Nigeria who would have long died of diseases and poverty if not for their children/in-law/relatives abroad. He would make a typical corrupt, wasteful, hard-hearted and unrepentant Nigerian politician. aribisala0: 1 Like |

dejustice: Am sure, Abuja Hotels were not considered.Lagos hotels are generally more expensive High_Chief: The only reason why Nigerian hotels are expensive is cos, no matter how much the proprietors charge, Nigerians will still pay (just to show off wealth) Politicians especially are not helping matters; if u go to transcorp in abuja today, u will be shocked to find out that over 60% of their rooms are PERMANENTLY BOOKED year-in-year-out by politicians who will most likely not even spend a single night there all year round. So as a hotel owner, what would u do when u know that the demand for ur product is not dependent on the price u fix?? |

ernestleon:Maybe he needs to sneer to feel good about himself or to deal with deep insecurities who cares?. He speaks from the bounty of his thinking How many Lagosians can afford to stay in Lagos Hotels It is a fact that many people working abroad will need to work for 20 years to afford accommodation in Places like Lekki probably more than a lifetime for Ikoyi or Victoria Island that is a fact of life . The truth is their numbers are much fewer than those in Nigeria who have no hope of owning any kind of accommodation ever |

I think Angola is more expensive, budget hotel in Luanda is above $200, some hotels in Mozambique are even more expensive -$260 and there not even Internet in their rooms. Protea hotel at O. R Tambo jo'Burg is more than $300 per day. Africa is kinda generally expensive in terms of hotels. |

Former deputy governor of Imo state used the (most expensive) presidential suite of Imo Concorde Hotel, Owerri, for well over 6 months straight, along with some 5 or 6 other rooms for her staff. And they did not pay a kobo for it. Cost? Some N18k for a double room, and about N70k for the presidential suite, per day. |
| Re: Lagos Hotels 2nd Most Expensive Globally – Research By The Hogg Robinson Group by AjanleKoko: 11:15pm On Aug 20, 2012 |
This report can't possibly be correct. In Lagos, there are maybe 8 or 9 brand hotels. The rest are locally-owned and run hotels. In the Proteas, Southern Sun, Eko, Radisson, etc, the cost of a hotel room is around $300, not $200. The locally-run hotels average around $100, and there are many of them. |
