The Art Hotel

I had a great stay at The Art Hotel. From when I arrived, the staff were warm and welcoming. My room was comfortable, and had such a cozy, homey feel that made me instantly relax. I also really enjoyed the breakfast, it was fresh, delicious, and the perfect way to start my day.

Beautiful facilities and convenient location

The room accommodations- the bathroom, the bed and sitting area, the hotel’s decor and the restaurant.

Power outages

Quiet, peaceful and an exceptional place

Nigeria was a place I’d never been before. Despite what you see and hear on the news I made the leap of faith to visit for a friend’s birthday. My expectations were quickly let down. From checking in to the hotel immediately there were issues with the payment as I have a UK Bank account the transaction was pending and the receptionist at first was denying check in until we paid again despite the fact that the payment had left my account. After speaking to the manager we were given a room. The maintenance and up keep of the hotel is very poor. The photos you see on the website are far from a true reflection. Door handles broken, unfinished work to the room/hotel with marks and scratches on everything. For a 5 star hotel attention to detail and cleanliness is missed. Any 5 star hotels in Nigeria are easily the equivalent to 3 stars in the UK. For British holiday makers I would avoid Nigeria altogether and staying in this hotel. Safety is compromised hugely as the agenda to follow and attack women for because of their race is totally unacceptable. I had the night porter follow me to my room insisting to help me with my bag. The night porter put my bag down in the room and closed the door behind him with myself and the porter in the room I began to feel frightened as he asked me to sit on the bed. I proceeded and demanded for him to leave however he was standing in front of the door refusing to move. I eventually was able to pull the door open and after 5/6 times continuously asking to leave he finally did. I barricaded and locked myself in my room afterwards scared and fearful. My safety was truly compromised. I felt powerless which has given me severe anxiety attacks. This was an incident that happened with one porter but what makes me worry more is how often this must be happening on daily basis with tourists of a different race being targeted.

I had a wonderful stay at The Art Hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The room I stayed in was cozy, warm, and had such a homey feel, I truly loved it. Everything about the space made it easy to relax and feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

My second time here alone this time. I could see the facility is not only well maintained, there is also a face lift in the room I was in. As usual I was greeted pleasantly by staff and it really felt like heaven
