At$400/room, I felt accosted. It was my first trip to Lagos so I can't compare, but if this is one of the best, then there is lots of opportunity for developers and hoteliers to provide improved facilities. Pros are proximity to airport, good service, adequate conferencing facilities. Negatives are small rooms (for the price), front desk is slow and doesn't... More

Lovely hotel with very friendly polite staff. Rooms are big and very comfortable. Lagos over all suffers from power cuts but are brief so when in your room it can go dark for a second or two. However this is everywhere in lagos. The beds are so comfortable. The bar area is well stocked the food is wonderful and v... More

There are now about four options of an international standard in Ikeja. Sheraton, IBIS, Protea and the Best Western. The Sheraton is grim, grubby and needs a bloody good clean. The other two are fine and well priced but the Protea is superb by Nigerian standards. It is 15 minutes from the airport, a very secure compound and guards on... More

This hotel looks good from the outside as it does inside. Bar service a bit slow. The buffet nights are good value with a great selection of foods. The chef is really nice and will cook food from the Al Al a carte menu just the way you like it. Drinks are rather expensive, and there is no atmosphere. But... More

I have stayed in this hotel a number of times before, and never disappoints. I love everything Protea offers. Its not cheap, but then good things in life are almost never el - cheapo. The rooms are simply welcoming. The bathrooms are ultra-modern, and with those travetine walls, you have the very best of an environment. The security is second... More

Everything you'll need on a business trip : beautiful new rooms, close to the airport, good restaurant, nice gym, mini pool, business center and a nice lobby to seat around. Prices are quite high but if you can afford so go for it :-)

A 4 star hotel in the Ikeja district of Lagos. A fairly decent bar and restaurant and the rooms are OK but the bedroom air conditioning ancient and very noisy and apt to fail completely now and then. Air conditioning in the meeting rooms and public places is fine but struggles in the bedrooms. This being Lagos there is a... More

Stayed for 2 nights in October. Arrived very late at night and front desk staff were less than welcoming. I thought it was just a late night thing but discovered that this was the way of things for my stay. That said, it was still a welcome retreat from the environment that surrounds it.
