From here to ringroad will cost u 250H dats 500daily or less. If you don't mind I can let u stay here with me and other fellow Corpers. If and only if u don't mind a roommate. Msg me if I can be of elp

StephenJoseph:
@ OP, I feel your pain and am not comfortable seeing someone going through such pain. If you had said you wanted help on free accommodation, I wouldn't mind helping you because I base in Benin. You go enjoy your stay. I go on gen, fan go dey blow you and you go thank me later before leaving to Lagos. I stay in self contain, its tiles and PVC. Good and sweet accommodation

madapcmod:
This must be Edo/Delta hotel at akpakpava. Very old hotel

infoblaster:
Dont waste your time any longer by not wanting to name the true identity of the hotel. This is Feedwell Hotel, located few meters to Benin Electricity Distribution Company, Corporate Headquarters in Benin city.

I once passed through your situation some years ago which should be around 2008/2009 when i used to lodge there whenever i come around to Benin. But methinks by now, the hotel should have stepped up sha

I have used numerous hotels in Nigeria and around the world. And I can usually predict what an average room will cost me just by looking at the hotel facade and reception. But Benin Protea took me by surprise. Too pricey and so not worth it

Bed bug problem is not limited to the extreme low end hotels in Benin. I had bed bug issue in a 12k room hotel around ring road a few weeks ago. Very sad. Used to be one of the best in town.

Don't bother. Lemme guess... Lixborr hotel. Place used to be my favorite. Going to the dogs

Pennywise:
@Op, good to know you are back to base.

Guys in Benin should give us update about good hotels particularly the newer ones. I have used the Royal sth (marble?) hotel and Vichy gates at Ihama. Good n reasonably priced but very bad access road.

I told her I can't stay in any of those rooms and she said if I have #2k then she will show me the better rooms, these rooms are in 1st and 2nd floor of the hotel. We went there I was not comfortable but the faces of those that occupy the other rooms attracted me , they look well learned and even richer than me I was told most of them have spent 2 to 3 weeks there and they came from Lagos too . the whole 8 rooms in the first floor is occupied and there are 3 rooms vacant in the 2nd floor which I quickly grab even though I see mosquitoes blood all over the wall.

I went back to the reception and pay 2k for a night lodge . The room has a 5 inches Television that's not working again, the fan is dirty and only speed 5 is working, the WC handle has broken and the toilet door is bad, cobweb everywhere, the bedsheet is stained with sperm and there is a lady attachment on the bed ...this shows they just finish playing wrestling on the bed, I beg the attendant to please change the bed sheet and she did that is when I discover that the mattress is old and dirty.

I have no other choice than lodge there for the night, I asked for their bar and she took me downstairs guess what I see in the bar....Many olosho drinking and smoking in the dark side of the bar,I saw an empty seat in one corner of the bar and I decided to sit there to avoid cigarette smoke what I met there pass me walahi... I saw an empty pack of gold circle with some wrap of tissue paper I felt irritated and left asap for another bar outside where I took 2 bottles of Heineken before I came back to spend the wonderful night.

Medium end hotels full here that can give you above average comfort. Ihama road isn't that bad.

The following morning I pack my bag and I say goodbye to them. when I reach office I called a colleague and ask him if I can get a cheap hotel of not more than 2k around, the only one he could point at is the same hotel. I leta come out for him that I spent my night there and I narrated my experience to his , he was just laughing and tell.me.its normal because I looked for cheap thing I have to pay the price as well, that even the top managers that have been visiting are lodging in that same hotel. meanwhile my hotel allowance is 4k per night and those ogas is 6k if those big bosses with big cars are spending days in the stinky place to save 4k daily why won't I do the same to save 2k ?

Fellow Nairalanders I have been here for 2 weeks now o. I have changed my room 4 times but still the same experience but me don't sleep on the bed again o .I sleep on the chair and carry my leg on top table lol

...I'm doing this to save 2k ni o. May God help Nigeria o Hardship is a bad experience o.
