I usually stay at the Sheraton as it has a very busy reception which is great for people watching but I was tired of the dated rooms. I have stayed at the Protea Ikeja 3 times and it is my go to hotel when I am in Lagos. I love the rain shower; the courtyard area and attentive staff. The... More

Like some of the other reviewers, Nigeria is not my favourite place to visit - and part of the feeling of dread is the inevitable stay in the Sheraton. However, on this occasion my business travel people booked me into the Protea. I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in a familiar location - directly opposite the Sheraton, but the... More

Lagos, or any part of Nigeria for that matter, has never been one of my favourite places to visit and I can honestly say I have never been sad to bid it farewell – between the traffic, the heat, the poor service, the lack of decent facilities and” interesting” food, I am only too grateful to board the return flight...

Protea Ikeja is definitely the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Nigeria and compares very well with some of the best in South Africa. I stayed there during my first week in Nigeria, and could not wait to return after a week’s traveling through the country. Walking through the front door was like coming home! The staff are friendly, and... More

The good news is that this is easily the best hotel in Lagos (if you're planning to stay in the Southern Sun, Four Points, Radisson Blue bracket). The rooms are really great, bathrooms excellent, food well thought through. There's also a great outside space with a pool and seating area that allows you to chill out. Secondly it doesn't suffer...

Like most Protea hotels, this is a nice one, though it does not have much ambiance and staff are not attentive, the rooms are expensive, but good. The food is not great either, I rather advise to take the small Maryland Protea instead, which has a far better price / value ratio. The hotel is opposite the Sheraton, would be... More

I stayed here with a business colleague for 4 nights. It was my first trip to Lagos and I do understand that all business hotel prices here are out of kilter with elsewhere in the world, so perhaps $430 per night B&B is the norm! Staff indifferent, e.g I had forgotten my deodorant and asked reception if they could provide... More

We stayed here overnight, and will definitely use it again due to the proximity to the airport and comfort. Breakfast was extremely expensive and not worth it. More

I've no idea why hotels in Lagos have to be so expensive: I guess we're a captive audience. Reception staff could have been friendlier, particularly as they're the ones who deliver the bad news ie the bill, at the end of your stay. The friendly restaurant, housekeeping and gym staff make up for it though. Last time I had a... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in March 2011 on a business trip. The Ikeja GRA area is very calm, quiet, very suburbun like as opposed to other parts of lagos making this a very quiet hotel with no street noise or people in streets. Hotel is very modern, rooms are small decent for european standards but small for American... More
