    The best option in Lagaos!

    Liked : Wow! Great and easy check-in experience. The staff go above and beyond to be helpful and responsive. The room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. The separate bathroom was very clean as well. They provided a delicious hot breakfast with scrambled eggs and fresh orange juice.

    Disliked : Like everywhere in Lagos, soundproofing isn’t great. Just bring earplugs.

    Bora Dormir - Great Value

    Liked : The location is very convenient yet not too loud at night. The room is pretty modern and comfortable. Things seemed clean and the fridge and microwave were a plus! Included breakfast as well.

    Nice stay

    Liked : The room was beautiful and very clean. The wifi was strong , self check in was easy and the shower was hot. Breakfast was simple but tasty. They offered a few options a toasted ham and cheese sandwich, scrambled eggs and toast, and cereal. It came with coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice... yummy.

    Disliked : There was a small heater for the room which took the chill out of the room. We were thankful that the temperature outside was 15°. If it was colder outside then the heater may not have been sufficient. There were extra blankets.

    Great stay. Could have stayed longer

    Liked : Great new facility. Back porch was lovely to have coffee . Thanks for the coffee pods.

    Disliked : The entry system was odd at first but now I’m a huge fan. Just remember to always have your phone with you. Even to go to restroom .

    Comfy

    Liked : Perfect location, room is very clean and comfy. Very friendly staff

    Disliked : One of the room has very loud (but peaceful...) piano music from the cafe downstairs since 9:30a.m...
    A bit cold in winter. Would be great to have a bigger electronic heater on the floor.

    Great stay.

    Liked : Loved the place. I reserved last minute but it was the nicest place with great staff and delicious breakfast. Located in the center of Lagos. I will definitely be back. They even leave you some fruit in your room. The staff is really nice and helpful.

  • RodrigoPortugal · Oct 15, 2025 9Exceptional

    Liked : Bedroom and shared bathroom were really clean, bed a little noisy but otherwise very much comfortable. The place is amazingly central and yet you don't hear any noise coming from the street, and I was there for a friday night. Only issue was the lack of air conditioning , which could be a problem during peak summer. Very easy to self check-in/checkout and to get breakfast in the nearby cafe. Would recommend!
