First of all, you need to keep in mind that MONTEMAR HOTEL is a 3 star property. With this in mind, you will be very happily surprised.
Friendly staff, very clean hotel and decently sized bedroom and bathroom.
We asked the staff at reception to keep our bottles of beer in their fridge since there was no fridge in our room, and they did not hesitate to help us out with this "very important" problem we were facing.
Breakfast is very basic, coffee at the breakfast was rather watery but considering that the breakfast was included in our room rate, I would not complain about it. We stayed 6 nights with breakfast included and payed 102 Euros for 2 people. A BARGAIN!
No internet available in the hotel. (no WIFI!)
The hotel has a car park that is for free. No swimming pool, but you are a stroll away from the best beaches in Lagos. Location is a big PLUS of this Hotel!

At the begining of the trip to Lagos my wife was saying the trip was ruined by events at home. However, by the end of the stay she was saying things like i could live here and we must come again. This happiness was acheived with the help of the customer service of the friendly hotel staff who advised us on where to go for beaches and food. We also benefited from a buffet breakfast included in the price and balcony. The location was 10 minutes away from the town centre and 2 minutes away from the beaches with their golden sands and clear waters perfect for a couple without a car. We would as a result say this is a good value for money hotel we would love to visit again!!!

Just had a week at the Montemar. Was OK, but wouldnt stay there by choice again. It was value for money for what we paid, but would resent paying more. The best way to describe it is "tired". It could do with a revamp - lighter walls, mini fridge, kettle, etc. The furniture is dark and made the room a little depressing. Staff were fantastic. Breakfast was monotonous, the same things everyday. Craved for some fresh fruit or even a little variety. About 1km to the old town, which is best accessed by crossing over the roundabout outside the hotel and not turning left and going downhill as if going to the beach - very tiring climbing back up!! There was a little noise at night, but this is due to insensitive guests, not the hotel staff. Would only recommend if you are on a budget and want clean accommodation with a little walk to beaches, large supermarkets and old town, Next time in Lagos, would look to stay near to the Marina.

The Montemar hotel was a good clean and basic hotel, towels changed and room cleaned every day. We stayed bed and breakfast. The breakfast was continental, but as we expected, rolls ham cheese etc. our only complaint with this is it is a very small breakfast room, (if your looking for posh don’t go here), and it was generally full and on some days we had to go away and then go back later. Apart from that, it is exactly what we look for on holidays, close to the beach, (even though a bit hilly!) and close to the town. there were a couple of restaurants, just round the corner, we only used the 'triangulo', it looked from the outside more like a canteen, but don't be put off by this, the food was second to none, and the service impeccable, with one of the waiters speaking in at least 3 languages!
Restaurants in town were much of a muchness, really. Some looked more up market than others, but all served pretty much the same good food with little cost difference. We tend to like the more Portuguese style restaurants rather than the up market cosmopolitan style ones, but we ate in both.
Beautiful beaches, as in the whole of the Algarve. Hope you can get an idea from this, and happy holidays!
