Well that can only happens where the hotel did not have standard and am so sure you lodge in one of those hotel that don't have start at all. Check-in into Marriot hotel or Eko Hotel, you would pay room services charge more for any items brought to your room even from the laundry.

indigene:
Your write up was plain vague. Hotels all over the world attach cost for room service. You are at liberty to walk down to the restaurant to have your meals or drinks at the bar.
Any cost attached on the menu list, is additional cost for room service, The hotel manager that you complained to don't know his or her job
Go and lodge at Sheraton or Reiz hotels in Abuja,or low budget hotels like ABC lodge and felt you have all the money in the world and request for room service, you will realise that Tax, VAT and additional cost for room service will be added. Drinks in your fridge will cost 150% more than if you have gone to the bar to have same.
I am a seasoned traveler in and outside Nigeria, i learnt to have my food and drinks outside the hotel i took lodging

Those prices are expressly and explicitly stated on the menu list or whatever list you have with you in your room or somewhere. It is called policy. No double interpretation. No personal twist. Even if you meet a robot to serve you in those hotels, the charges will be applied. Why? because it is a policy.

I don't know about the OP but my concern would not be about the additional price. It will be because of the hidden surprise. Tell me upfront and it is left to me if I want to incur the cost or not.

kjhova:
And these same people, whose obvious stealing you have rationalised thus, will still speak in tongues next Sunday or display as hajia at the next NASFAT or Anwarul session.

I wouldn't call it "stealing" because what they earn as salary is peanut.

I will be very brief and I am sure we all can learn one or two things from this. I hope also that I construct this well.

I do travel out of my location here in Lagos very well to other part of the country and it's normal that I get an hotel to lodge.
On arrival to an affordable hotel, I pay for the hotel room and check in. Take my bath and relax a bit then I check the hotel menu list for breakfast, lunch or dinner as the case may be.

I do observe something for the past two years but didn't really take it serious not until when I travelled to Aba and Port Harcourt around March this year and same thing repeats itself.

After checking the menu list and the price of the food u want to eat. You call the restaurant and place your order but as soon as your order was delivered, the price is always more than what is on the menu list. Sometimes it could be has high as a thousand Naira.

I do pay all the time and didn't read any meaning to it but when I was at Aba around March, I protested when the same thing repeats itself and I said to myself that if such repeat itself anytime I travel and lodge in any hotel, I will only pay the charge as indicated on the menu list.
Fast forward to today, I travelled to Abuja and as usual lodged at an hotel in town.
Now this evening I ordered for my dinner at a fixed price on the menu list only for the price of my order to be far above what was written in the menu list. I told the lady that brought my dinner that I will only pay the cost of the dish in the menu list but she insisted that I will pay at #500 more than I was expected to pay giving me excuses that the price on the menu list was the old price.

I request to see the manager and within a second, she disappeared but I still went ahead to see the hotel manager but on my way, I met one of the hotel attendants who was listening to my argument with the lady and he told me that I shouldn't go to the manager cos there is nothing the manager can do and that they are working on the new price list but I ignored him. When I got to the hotel manager, i told him what happened and why customers cannot pay the exact cost of dish in the menu list but have to pay far more. He was suprised cos I saw the shock on his face. He sent for d lady that do serve dish for customer but not to expose her in my presence, he told me to go and I should pay the exact price on the menu list when she comes around to collect money.

When the lady later came around to collect the money, I saw the anger on her face which confirms my suspicion that those people generate income for themselves through such disgraceful means and it as become a common trend in some hotels (I don't want to generalize).

Don't know who else have noticed such but next time you lodge in an hotel and observe such, insist on paying the exact cost as seen on the menu price list.

I love honest people and sometimes give extra tips to them of some few cash even after rendering services to me but trying to play a fast one is a no no for me.

Let us be observant.

I hope you are only staying in the hotel for a day.
No more food from their kitchen. One can only imagine the amount of spit and phlegm they will mix with your next food orders. Be kind to strangers who handle your food. A better option is to eat outside the hotel.

seangy4konji:
It is that change issue that annoys me most. Some will even tell you should they use your change to bring malt for you or beer??wetin concern you with what I no ask for?na my change I wNt.

Before anyone will accuse me of being stingy because of my funny stories, I don't talk am say I no get shame o.

So I went to this Prince Ebeano supermarket down chevron drive. I can't remember what I bought but it was enough to make me do yanga that I was shopping there. Na so the cashier take my money, give me receipt, then told me there's no change. She said in a very nonchalant, condescending manner and I did as if I did not hear her. she repeated herself in the same way so I told her to take what I bought and return my money. She fumbled around for about 2 seconds and offered that I should pick something in return for the change. I told her I don't want. She was forced to leave the place and get the change for me. I waited and the people behind me? I nor dey look face. She came back with the change and I told her to keep it. She couldn't believe it. She laughed like "why did you punish me?" and I told her it was about her attitude.

Tjayjosh:
Bros it's not a scam, it is called service charge.

Service charge is usually a written policy. let them show me where it is written and I will pay.

Will Jesus do this if he was placed on "peanut" salary? Will Muhammad or Buddha do such?

Invariably, in following your logic, the ladies along Allen Avenue are not s*x workers as they must survive since they don't even have up to "peanut" salary.

Quite true, not just hotels, big bars also do such, while calculating ur fee, they add theirs Unknowingly since they know those who spend heavily on drinks don't take notice of how much they spend at a sitting

Nigeria is finished. See comments.

Supporting stealing..


These are the same clowns who would sat politicians are stealing.


Nigeria is full of retards and imbeciles

Recession is real. Nigerians are wiser now. No maga out there again.

Stupid nigerians everywhere, you don't see people stealing 500billion , its 500naira that u want to start ranting on. Idiots.

Na wa o... Wetin dey work this one :|

Seriously, I Cnt Pay More Than The Amount On The Menu.. If The Service Charge Is A Must Then It Should Be Written So That When Going Through The Menu, U Can See It And Then Comply... If It Comes To Ur Heart To Give Then U Tips Whoever That Attends To U

Lexusgs430:
Hotel food is usually over priced. I would tell you what I do.
I get to the hotel, take a shower and then a slight stroll to the main street, find posh buka and chop. On my way to the hotel, I stop at an eatery and buy night time snacks.... I sometimes stock my fridge with drinks purchased off site (depending on how long I intend to stay).........
At certain times, I indulge myself at the bar (man cannot live by juice alone)........

Correct guy! My wife will never allow me buy any food in a hotel unless there is no any other option. Even when I am reluctant to stroll, she doesn't mind going alone to get food and even water & drinks outside....
I once paid 2k for boiled plantain (three small pieces) and egg sauce in a hotel in Benin city meanwhile the menu price was 800 Naira only for d lady to tell me that was old price, chaiiiii, these ppl no d fear God.

You could not even address the topic at all. You tribal bigots of very negligible intelligence. Are you not tired of displaying idiocy in the full glare of the entire human race?

They do this in night clubs in Lagos too. They are always claiming its old price. Why will a club keep a price list that's outdated with its attendants

any money not acquired legitimately is stealing..
After all politicians don't earn much necessitating them to do same thing this hotel girl also did.

This shii happened to me once. But I couldn't do shii cuz I was with someone

Just be careful before they arrange you.
