A beautiful hotel with excellent location. Room was very clean and attended to everyday. Room service was good and polite.However, check-in was very slow. As an A Club member i expected some priority attention on arrival. But that was not to be as check-in took almost one hour. Reception should improve. Strongly recommended. Will come again.!

I do not have anything to compare this hotel to in Port Harcourt, but found it very overpriced for what it offers. It is a used, tired, musty place, with simple, clean bedrooms (although carpets seemed questionable), wifi in the lobby (plug-in for the bedroom) and a very expensive restaurant (for what you get). The staff in the restaurant and... More

The security when in Nigeria/Port Harcourt is the main concern, which is why I'd recommend this hotel. The service is poor and extremely slow, but this is also my general experience at Central Africa hotels. However did expect more from a "high class" hotel as this one. It is obvious that they do not have much competition for their business... More

Considering this is in Nigeria, the hotel offers good facilities. Room was clean, bathroom functional, internet working. The lunch buffet and breakfast are heavily overpriced for what is offered. Later took the bar breakfast for half the price, it was just fine.

I've read other reviews, and I can't agree with most of them. First of all, we are talking about Nigeria here. Constant electrical power problems can't be hotels fault. They have back up generator, and every time it was starting in matter of seconds. Food can be better, but it is far from awfull. Rooms are clean, aldo a bit... More

If you are paying and have a choice, i would advise that you find another hotel. The facilities are Novotel standards and the cooking is what you can expect from the Novotel brand, however, the focus on security and their "core customers" leaves much to be desired.

I would not have stayed here unless I had to. The rooms are grim - smelled of damp and depressing decor. Some of the staff are friendly but others indifferent. I'm not surprised as they are clearly badly managed. The sign in the room says that if you take anything from the room, the room attendant will have to pay.... More

Since November 2011 I staid 4 times in this hotel. Its is recommended by the company, due to the security situation in Port Harcourt. In regard to this, it is very professional.

I travel extensively, and have stayed at this hotel several times. The security is good, and the staff friendly, but beyond that, it is very ordinary, and in some respects, very 2nd rate. Do not expect anyone to assist you with your bags ! The power is unstable and on and off perhaps 10 or more times a day. The... More
