We loved everything; the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location couldn't have been more perfect. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything❤️

Great location right in the heart of the old town. Getting to the beaches was a bit of a trek but, for going out at night, this place rules. Also, the beds were very soft and comfortable. Overall, it is a solid value for the money! No AC which I knew going in but, if you book during July/August, know that it will be hot inside and outside. Also, there is a shared bathroom on each floor, which was also disclosed but, there were 3 other rooms using the one bathroom on the floor so, I had to wait multiple times to use it. Not a huge deal although it got dirty quickly from the high traffic.

Great location, very clean, fresh towels and nice beading No AC and the week I was in Lagos very very hot. They did have a fan

The Korean Staff is very kind, soft spoken and bring a genuine source of hospitality. I particularly appreciated them providing free tap water—a simple but vital sustainable practice that is actually required by Portuguese law (Lei n.º 52/2021). Having a full-service restaurant on the ground floor makes breakfast very convenient, and the in-room kitchenette was quite handy. The shared bathroom is cleaned every morning, and the location is perfect: a quiet pedestrian street in the heart of Old Town Lagos. The breakfast is a set menu rather than a buffet, and the options are quite limited (eggs, toast, juice). It would be great to see healthier additions like vegetables, avocado, tomato, and/or gluten-free corn tortillas, even for a small up-charge. Regarding the room, there is no desk - such as for laptop use. I noticed small gnats and drain flys hovering around. The shared bathroom (shared with three other rooms) has plumbing issues; the shower heads and hoses leak, and the door seals are ineffective, causing water to pool on the floor. Finally, the restaurant has an 8€ credit card minimum. This is very inconvenient for hotel guests and feels outdated when most local cafes and transport services allow small digital payments for a single coffee or ticket. Please make these changes and you will become a 10 overnight. Thank you.

Big room with attached bath. Staff were pleasant. Breakfast was good. From the moment we got there it smelled of cigarette smoke in the hallways. I didn’t ask if it was a non-smoking facility, so that’s on me. Can’t imagine why in 2026 anyone would allow smoking in their facility. The room listing on Booking.com mentioned soundproofed walls-Our room was next to the shared bathroom and we heard shower door banging from people until 1:30am one night. There was a big (2’x4’)glass panel in our bathroom up above the shower stall that was between the shared bathroom and our bathroom. Everytime a person went into the shared bathroom our bathroom lighted up. Our reservation stated that there was a tea/coffee maker in our room, but there was none. When we asked for one, we were told they did not have any. The terrace listed as part of our room was a shared rooftop terrace one level up above us. Not a big deal, but misleading to list it as if it is attached to your bedroom.

Clean room All was good, just the water could be more warm in the shower and more selection of breakfast

Beds were real cozy. Had the corner room which had two windows. Absolutely friggen loved having two windows. Location is also stellar - so long as youre ok being in a loud downtown environment One bathroom for about 5-6 rooms is a little annoying. But suck it up youre fine. Best to shower in pairs. The comped breakfast makes up for it.

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

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.

First there doors work with passcodes instead of keycards. In my confirmation email, they gave me the code to a room that was already booked. So when I arrived and opened the room there was personnal stuff from other travellers! Not so good for safety in my opinion !! Then it took then 30minutes to find the code to the right room. Also, after dinner we like to put the tv on especially because we are watching the Olympics. The remote of the tv was not working and the staff didn't know what to do.. so we ended up watching the olympics on our phones with a wifi that shuts off every few minutes it seems so. And finally, there is only one bathroom per floor which was not advertised when booking the room.

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

Good breakfast good location

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

I was put in a smoking room even though I didn’t request that. I really struggled with the smell during my time here. Shared bathroom was mostly clean, but toilet not so much.
-
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!

The reception does not have staff, needed to ask at the restaurant

Location is pretty close to the old town. And it is really comfortable with code using for entrance. They stored my baggage after check-in. According to the Lagos prices it was affordable. Breakfast was only toast with cheese and ham, and coffee also orange juice. There is not any other option. There is no elevator. You need to use stairs for the third floor. It is also really noisy comes from the street.
