“This apart hotel enjoys a sweet spot between Lagos's old town and its beaches, an ideal setup for families or couples. Accommodations come equipped with kitchenettes, though some past guests mention missing essentials for proper cooking. Still, the pools are a hit, and the staff earns consistent praise for being attentive and helpful.”

great staffexcellent viewclean apartmentcentral location
The staff are kind. All staff helped us check in quickly. Our flat had a great view of the pool from the balcony. It was spacious and clean. The air con worked well too. The location is great and a short walk to town.
Our living room tv did not work . We did wish breakfast started earlier.

tender moments near the sea

enchanting locationspacious roomshort walkfaulty air conditioning
the hotel's location was enchanting near several beaches and the heart of town. the rooms felt very spacious and cute. i also appreciated the proximity to a nearby grocery store, just a short walk away though the walk back to the room was a bit of a maze, but nothing to complain about.
I did notice that the air conditioning in the room wasn't functioning properly. It needs some assistance. this made the room slightly uncomfortable during warmer times. hopefully, they can fix it. It was a small thing in an otherwise lovely setting.
