Nice size of the room and bathroom. Excellent power shower. Comfy bed. Coffee/tea equipment in the room. Nice full length mirrow. Excellent breakfast, varierty of different cuisines with plenty of choices, some looked like actual full meals. Proper coffee machine as well as filtered coffee is offered. For a woman travelling alone its a very safe and comfortable place, perfectly located to pretty much anywhere in the city. Security is taken very seriously there, vehicles are scanned, checked in and out, without intimidating guests and those visiting guests. Gym is ok, didnt try the spa. Nice property overall.
You have to ask for iron & board, not provided in the room. The pool was under maintenance entire time without any notice on website when booking. Crockery in the room was chipped and cracked, both tea sets. There is no magnifying mirror in the bathroom. Cashpoint machines were working one day and not the rest of my stay. Juices in the juice machines in the restaurant: i was told they were fresh but they tasted like those made from juice tanker concentrates. When i asked if i can have a freshly squeezed one at breakfast, I was told those were freshly squeezed that morning, if they have maybe they were watered down at the ratio of 3:1. Some food was on the oily side, like spicy african eggs, as tasty as they were you had to fish them out leaving a trail of oil to drain off the spon as you served. Few other dishes were oily too. One day i picked up croissant that was literally looking like a prop, i could hold it and maybe hit a nail with it, no idea how it was put out, but as soon as i showed the waiter, he brought me a freshly baked one out of the kitchen. Bars and spaces downstairs seem to be busy overwhelmingly by non-guests, people on laptops, having meetings, team calls etc, which is fine but makes it seem unnecessary busy all the time, so when you stay there you tend to avoid the area. One time i did use the bar downstairs all i wanted is a glass of white wine, what i was offered was cloudy white wine, which neither looked appetising nor tasted, despite waiter trying to convince me it was the type of french wine, my concern was not to consume an overdose of tartaric acid, so i declined. Cosmopolitan i ordered instead was the colour i never expected - strawberry blonde, but i can confirm there was vodka in it, so that went down nicely. All in all its ok and i wanted to add - for Nigeria, but i think with little tweaks and touches and small attention to detail this place is a gem really and despite all the above i will definitely stay there again.

Great breakfast selection and the gym is great! The staff are super attentive and accomodating. They were super helpful when our luggage did not arrive on time, providing us with robes and offering to take us shopping for supplies. The food in the hotel is also great, big portions. Nice touches with house keeping, leaving us chocolates on the bed and for Easter. It was lovely!

Nothing apart from room design. Eletricity was erratic, room flooded after bath. No Internet most of the time . Very bad views from my room. The breakfast was nice but native cuisine was terrible. An overated expensive hotel. The towels have seen better days. I had high expectations but was very disappointed for spending so much for 7 day stay . Not recommended at all.
Erratic supply of electricity, bad towels, unreliable Internet and bad food. Total waste of money

Great food and good location
Staff not customer focused. Unnecessarily argumentative. Facility needs to be better maintained.

Breakfast was good. A pretty nice spread.
The location was top notch.
Staff were always ready to go above and beyond to meet guests' expectations.
The bathroom is in need of a serious revamp. The shower stall is a No No!
The flushing system was faulty and needed maintenance to have a go at it.
Most tv stations were blurry and choice of stations was limited.
No menu in the room (probably cause of Covid 19).
The minibar/fridge in the room was non operational.
