Hotels With Swimming Pools in Lagos State, Nigeria

Hospitality standards from the staff is poor, lack of emotional intelligence, lack of empathy for the guest. I have never seen where a guest would need to go down to the reception in front of other guests to give his laundry for dry cleaning!!!totally weird. Front office agent Moses needs to undergo more training on how to greet the guest and body language usage when in front of a guest . We are paying, so your staff needs to learn how-serve with courtesy. Your room service staffs are bringing their card machines inside the room to plug to the socket and charge it before taking payment???? Wasting our time till our food got cold and unenjoyable! Even after telling her to come back for the payment so as to eat on time, she directly declined like we were going to run away without paying. Phones are not working properly, when ordering I was told to speak louder couple of times till I started shouting on top of my voice. Total wasted night

Ideal location if you have business interests in the airport area, although some access roads are considerably bumpy. The musical entertainment during Sunday lunch was much appreciated. The accommodation is remarkably soundproofed considering the flight activities that take place from the adjacent aircraft parking lot. It is a pity that there is no bidet, despite the large size of the bathroom.

Great environment , good service and the location is perfect . Will recommend for anyone who needs a good place to stay . Accessible as well

Set in the city’s highbrow area of Ikeja, 3 miles from Murtala Muhammed International airport and ten minutes from the commercial district of Allen Avenue, is the luxury boutique CitiHeight Hotel. It is also in the vicinity of several global hotel brands including Ibis, Sheraton and Radisson Blu. Having booked our holiday straight after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s July 19th announcement, my daughter and I took our first post COVID-19 international trip in search of some culturally relevant inspiration. Lagos was a great option as it is on the UK government’s amber list of countries and a destination where we could really get immersed in the culture. Our UK airport experience was hectic to say the least, and we arrived a day later than scheduled. Even the most-prepared traveller is advised to have two or three back-up plans in case of “incaseities”. I sent a quick email to the hotel, explaining the last minute change in plans and luckily for us, Banji, the hotel manager was very accommodating and sympathetic to our plight. Upon arrival, we were treated like VIP’s by the polite and friendly hotel staff who took our luggage and escorted us to our room on the 6th floor. Prior to our travel, we had made reservations through booking.com and in response to our welcome email, we made a special request for “a high floor with a birds eye view”. While our preference was peace and privacy, we anticipated endless trips down to the restaurant and bar. Our executive room was pretty much like the photos on the website. Palatial, lustrous and spacious, featuring a plush king size bed with bespoke bedside cabinets and an inviting lounge area. Alongside the usual amenities, there was the obligatory hand sanitizer, but I couldn’t help but notice the bold and intriguing artwork decorating the walls. What a fantastic way to showcase emerging as well as established artists. CitiHeight is a luxury boutique hotel, on par with international standards, and I would go as far as calling it an ‘art hotel’ considering the vast art collection and attention to visual aesthetics. The allure for me was the authentic art pieces dotted throughout the hotel. From the hotel entrance, to the lobby, restaurant, and on every floor. I saw choice object d’art pieces that fused local elements of traditional art within the luxury architecture, giving the hotel a sense of high-end opulence fused with contemporary cool. I began to envisage a ‘classic meets contemporary’ theme for a photo shoot. Tip: Take some Instagrammable shots around the hotel (Do not touch artwork). Pool Life: When it comes to ‘pool life’ at CitiHeight, just grab a sunbed and relax. Although the pool lacks an outside view, poolside was a popular hangout for my daughter and her friends. Since it had a private/secret garden feel that was ideal for swimming, sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun during the day. The pool was also a perfect place for a social distancing party by night. Just beside the pool is the m

New bedding is heavenly. Shower is great pressure and room for two room has safe, mini fridge with complimentary water, kettle with tea/coffee. Atm in lobby will take USA visa debit for local naira, dispense 10,000 at a time. Room was a bit tight. Wish we had stayed here instead of the apartment their bed was like a board. Staff very respectful and professional. POS didn't take credit card, nor atm, even though shoprite did. Can't wait to stay there again, next time in lagos.

Was looking for a nice quiet hotel near the airport. This one was recommended. The road approaching the hotel is in a terrible state of disrepair with my taxi being stuck in potholes. It took over 40 minutes to check in considering a reservation had been made. Having do long to wait we asked for water to be told water is available in the room only unless we wanted to buy water, which we did. Room was small and old. Room aervice took over an hour to deluver a sandwich. Only redeeming factor it has good wifi.

One of the best hotels on the island of Victoria. I haven't been to Nigeria for several years, and it still looks like this again. The water in the pipes is a bit turbid. Fortunately, the environment is not bad and the stay is relatively quiet. It's okay in such a country.

The nicest staff! Felt really looked after from the moment I arrived. Generous and friendly people at all times. Excellent food selections at the lunches and dinners - the menu kept changing too which was much appreciated. Any request I had during my stay was responded too super quick and always with a smile. Would not hesitate to recommend.

The 4 night stay in Ivy Emerald was a wonderful and breath taking experience. The environment is very clean and beautiful. The rooms are well decorated with fully functional facilities. The staff are very friendly and accommodating as they are always willing to assist. The only area that requires improvement is the breakfast as it has limited options and the buffet does run out quickly. It was a good stay overall and well recommended.

The room is a bit damp, but the attitude and service of the staff are very good. The breakfast is relatively simple, but there are basic fruits, vegetables and meat. The dinner buffet does not provide any drinks, which is not normal

Birthday surprise. After attending my friends mothers burial the next day was my birthday so we decided to change location to enjoy the day. The staff at the front desk where nice and friendly. The didn’t waste time checking us in. Got to the room to my surprise birthday cake, champagne, chocolate, and gifts. It was a pleasant surprise cause I was so tired from Lagos horrible frustrating traffic. It lighten my mood. I had planed to take a bath and hit the sack. The hotel is clean and cute. The rooms aren’t that big, but still comfy for two. I had a lovely stay.

The room is a bit damp, but the attitude and service of the staff are very good. The breakfast is relatively simple, but there are basic fruits, vegetables and meat. The dinner buffet does not provide any drinks, which is not normal

Good hotel. Was affordable for me. Good staff. But last year and this year, I have tried reaching the hotel through the numbers on their google map and websites, book a room again and tried calling with the number in the email. I have not been able to get anyone. Please can email me a direct phone number or contact that I can use to reach the hotel. I wanted to also book for a ride.thank you

We stayed in this clean hotel for 2 weeks during our summer vacation. Everything works in this hotel. The lift is reliable, hot and cold water with reasonable pressure. The restaurant is open 24 hours and the breakfast buffet has acceptable standards. Their rates are reasonable. The staffs are courteous and helpful. The porters are helpful during checking in but they could do with more porters to help with hand baggages on subsequent days

Visited Amber Residence for a weekend getaway with the family. I had called to make a reservation during the week but it could not be located when i checked in, it took quite sometime for that to be sorted but the front desk staff was polite and professional. I got a Standard Double on the 2nd floor. The room was spacious, neat and cozy, i didnt get a room with a view which was rather disappointing. At night the Airconditioning was quite loud and kept sounding like it was raining which was also discomforting. Water Pressure in the bath was better than most hotels in Nigeria with the heating consistent throughout. Breakfast was a bit lackluster and the low-point of my stay, the menu was not robust to choose from. We also had differing information on the cost for extra meals and got conflicting feedback from reception and the kitchen. Improvement can be made here but on the whole was a good stay

The lobby is pretty, but the room is not that good. The pillows and quilts have a pungent smell, there are very small spiders crawling on the table, and there is a strong smell of insect repellent in the corridor. Breakfast was not good.

Spacious rooms and quite clean. Very helpful housekeeping staff. Dirty water in the swimming pool. At the reception they are a bit too slow and a bit too shy, but always trying to satisfy any requests. Food in the restaurant is always the same and not particularly impressive. The most of the time they take very long time to deliver in the room, or just need a very long time to take your order. Actually if they are busy doing some paper works, they ignoring you util you don't request attention. Definitely they need to improve their customer service. Pay attention to the dirty tables keep the terrace organised and be more efficient. We want to thank the new joiner for his different service Mr. Omo, you are the best

The room is a bit damp, but the attitude and service of the staff are very good. The breakfast is relatively simple, but there are basic fruits, vegetables and meat. The dinner buffet does not provide any drinks, which is not normal

I stayed at the Blowfish hotel on 13th January 2022. It was advertised as a four star hotel. The signing in was uncomplicated and the reception staff were helpful and efficient. I booked a deluxe room and was taken there. The room was good - neat, tidy and spacious. The air conditioner worked. The bed was comfortable. It was nice to have a bath in the accommodation as well as a shower. So given all of that why does it only merit a rating of 3? Well, because when you book a four star hotel you don't just expect accommodation of good quality - you also expect a four star hotel to have an eye for and an attention to detail. This was sadly lacking. Firstly, having stayed in hotels in different locations of different quality for the past 40 years, this is the first time I have stayed in a room which did not have a single clothes hanger. Secondly, I'm a tea drinker. The only drinks provided were sachets of coffee and green mint tea (yuk!) so I went and bought some regular black tea. Thirdly, as the bath is also a shower, there is a fixed panel half the length of the bath which prevents easy access to the taps and means unless you have very long arms, you can't put the bath plug in or turn on the water without getting into the bath - a tense moment as you wait to see whether you have guessed right and the water comes out of the faucet or the shower head. Luckily, I got it right. Fourthly, they tell you on arrival that there is room service and vaguely tell you where breakfast will be served but there's no information pack or room service in the room. This would be helpful and would probably generate more room service revenue. The breakfast was just ok although the card you are given on arrival says breakfast is served from 6am - it's not,,, its 7am. The girls at reception did mention this to me but maybe it should also be reflected on the room key card to avoid any confusion. Finally, the TV was a waste of time. I think there were five or six channels available and three of these had a 'fuzzy' picture. Really? A four star hotel? So. all in all a nice place, good accommodation, nice service but the devil is in the detail. For many people these issues will be a minor distraction. To me the difference between lower and higher quality hotels is attention to that kind of detail. Little things mean a lot. Good but must do better!!

I had a good time, the ambience and serenity was amazing. Good customer service and there are so many nice locations to take pictures. We also enjoyed the buffet at the restaurant. The pool was nice, but I’d suggest that there’s a bar there with nice music. I also enjoyed the massage at the spa.

Wonderful staff! Very welcoming and helpful! The personal are very professional and hospital. The hotel is very well located in a very safe area. I will definitely come back in Lagos! Services and food are very good. I definitely enjoyed my stay in this hotel during 4months ! Mr Moustapha

Visiting a protea in Nigeria used to be a pleasure but since its relationship with Marriot quality of certain aspects has declined although not yet to the level of the former Sheraton in Abuja. Rooms are OK and the beds up to usual Sheraton standard. Pool is nice and the location facing the ocean pleasant if you have a room with a view. Access to the hotel is via a road in pretty poor shape.. Gym is small with a couple of treadmills, a gym machine, couple of bikes and a manual elliptical trainer. For me the pleasure of a Protea was its fantastic breakfast buffet. Sad to report this is no longer available with a very poor selection, instant coffee only, no decent meats or cheese, no pastries . Overall very disappointing for N14,00 ($30).. Internet connectivity just about OK..
