Expensive but what isn't when in Africa om buisness. Good rooms, great connectivity (free) and excellent food makes this a very good place to stay in Nigeria More

It might be boring to read, but in the past, when one stayed in Lagos, there was one hotel on the mainland and one on the islands. That is, internationally acceptable, hotels. Well they were and are exhorbitant expenisive and though renovated etc. still quite hopeless, especially the Libanese/state run Eko. Now a few more hotels have come up, quite... More

I recently had to travel to Lagos, Nigeria on business and was shocked at the prices of hotels in this city. I found the Protea Hotel Leadway online and the Tripadvisor reviews seemed good so I booked it. I was very impressed - the security, the room, the bathroom, the free high speed wifi and the quality of restaurant food... More

Hotel quality was fine, but be careful of the hidden charges. We were charged an extra night because we checked in before 2pm!!! Even the duty manager refused to compromise. Our laundry took 48 hours and a lot of chasing to get back on a "Same day service". No hot water on the first day. The cost of food and... More

You don't (unless you are a masochist) go to Nigeria as a tourist. If you're here, you have a reason to be here and you are prepared to put up with the discomfort, the ugliness and all the other problems. So, if you have to be here, where do you stay? All the hotels in Lagos are overpriced by world... More

Currently staying at the Portea, leaving tomorrow. Had a pretty confusing time selecting the right hotel in Lagos. The reviews however, definitely helped. Hence, writing my own. Have stayed at the Sheraton and the Victoria crown plaza before, but this hotel is so much better than these other over-rated hotels. A little over-priced for Lagos, but still cheaper than most...

I have travelled to Nigeria several times on business since 2005. In the past I have stayed at the Protea Oakwood Park on the Lekki Peninsula. However, this trip a colleague and I were just spending a couple of nights in Lagos on our way to/from Liberia, so we were looking for a nice, secure, comfortable hotel near the airport.... More
