Hello

I'm visiting Lagos this christmas and need to find a good hotel within my budget.

My past experience of hotels in Nigeria is that you can pay good money and still sometimes end up in a filthy room , without a shower (they put a bucket in the bath) or with poor service.

What I'm looking for is somewhere thats clean decent, safe and with good facilities preferably where all the fun and entertainment is i.e Ikoyi / VI/ Lekki

My budget is between $100-$150 per night for a double room (can also go up to $200 but prefer to spend my money on other stuff).  Last time i booked a room I paid £60 per night i.e $120 and couldn't even stay there.

Also if you know of any holiday houses / villas where I can rent the whole house/flat for 2-4 weeks , I'd be grateful , obviously would be prepared to pay a lot more for a whole flat / house.

Thanks for your help

A good hotel in Lagos starts from $300.

These are hotels(Eko, Protea, Sofitel, Sheraton) from which I can get some level of service close to what I am used to.

That said, you still find the rooms, services etc not up to world class.

For $200 dont expect anything.

I don't advice you to stay in VI or IKOYI, especially if you are on a tight budget. The hotels in these areas for $100-$200 are to the best of my knowledge decrepit.
My advice would be Lekki. You'd find a couple of really cool new hotels after the first roundabout.

I would reccomend Lekki Astoria. Brand new hotel with really cool rooms,free internet in room, etc. I stayed there recently for just around $70. Same hotel would go 4 maybe 200+ usd in VI OR Ikoyi.

@sweet lola,

Anytime i'm at Ikoyi, i Use Ambassador's hotel its at Awolowo road ikoyi lagos, its a nice but expensive hotel depending on the suite (room) though.

I'm not completely sure of the pricing, but I stayed in Moorhouse when my house was being fumigated,
It's really nice, with good service.

Try Precinct Comfort at Ikoyi.

The best hotel you can stay in Victoria Island under a tight budget is Royal Tropicana Hotel @ Ibrahim Waziri Crescent, VI. Their room rates start from N15k (negotiable to a lower price if you are staying for many days). Thats where I stay whenever I am around and their rooms are exquisite, remote control systems, free wifi, 24 hours light (my no.1 requirement), constantly neat, free correct breakfast daily, a stroll away from sliver-bird galleria and more.

And some people may not know, but it shares same fence with Kanu Nwankwo's hotel who's rates starts from N35k per night.
