Hotel in zona Abebe Mosque, Lagos

I was very impressed with Leola. I searched for top-rated hotels in Ikeja area and it came up. The name did not impress me, but the pictures did. Then what I met there impressed me further. The place is neat. Bathroom is clean. The only minus in my shower is the white silicone at the corners of the shower. It could have been done better, or use grey cement for perfection. I like the comfort of the place.

The hotel is beautiful, quiet, and tranquil, with the added convenience of being very close to the airport, making it easy to avoid traffic and catch your flight. The staff, particularly Mr. PrinceWill and many of the front desk and dining staff, were polite and deserving of a 5-star rating. They deserve a huge raise. However, I can only give 4 stars due to an unpleasant encounter with a rude staff member when our AC wasn’t working. He initially blamed us for the issue but later brought a portable AC and apologized. Unfortunately, by that time, we were already tired and preparing to sleep in the heat since we had an early flight. The night managers could benefit from some customer service training. The food was generally good, though my sister did get sick from something she ate. Thankfully, she recovered, and the dining staff did apologize. The rooms are great, and on our return, we were fortunate that the AC was functioning better, though they still brought us a room AC to help with the heat. Overall, my experience was positive, but I'm not sure I would stay here again. I might explore other options Lagos has to offer.

Set in the city’s highbrow area of Ikeja, 3 miles from Murtala Muhammed International airport and ten minutes from the commercial district of Allen Avenue, is the luxury boutique CitiHeight Hotel. It is also in the vicinity of several global hotel brands including Ibis, Sheraton and Radisson Blu. Having booked our holiday straight after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s July 19th announcement, my daughter and I took our first post COVID-19 international trip in search of some culturally relevant inspiration. Lagos was a great option as it is on the UK government’s amber list of countries and a destination where we could really get immersed in the culture. Our UK airport experience was hectic to say the least, and we arrived a day later than scheduled. Even the most-prepared traveller is advised to have two or three back-up plans in case of “incaseities”. I sent a quick email to the hotel, explaining the last minute change in plans and luckily for us, Banji, the hotel manager was very accommodating and sympathetic to our plight. Upon arrival, we were treated like VIP’s by the polite and friendly hotel staff who took our luggage and escorted us to our room on the 6th floor. Prior to our travel, we had made reservations through booking.com and in response to our welcome email, we made a special request for “a high floor with a birds eye view”. While our preference was peace and privacy, we anticipated endless trips down to the restaurant and bar. Our executive room was pretty much like the photos on the website. Palatial, lustrous and spacious, featuring a plush king size bed with bespoke bedside cabinets and an inviting lounge area. Alongside the usual amenities, there was the obligatory hand sanitizer, but I couldn’t help but notice the bold and intriguing artwork decorating the walls. What a fantastic way to showcase emerging as well as established artists. CitiHeight is a luxury boutique hotel, on par with international standards, and I would go as far as calling it an ‘art hotel’ considering the vast art collection and attention to visual aesthetics. The allure for me was the authentic art pieces dotted throughout the hotel. From the hotel entrance, to the lobby, restaurant, and on every floor. I saw choice object d’art pieces that fused local elements of traditional art within the luxury architecture, giving the hotel a sense of high-end opulence fused with contemporary cool. I began to envisage a ‘classic meets contemporary’ theme for a photo shoot. Tip: Take some Instagrammable shots around the hotel (Do not touch artwork). Pool Life: When it comes to ‘pool life’ at CitiHeight, just grab a sunbed and relax. Although the pool lacks an outside view, poolside was a popular hangout for my daughter and her friends. Since it had a private/secret garden feel that was ideal for swimming, sipping cocktails and soaking up the sun during the day. The pool was also a perfect place for a social distancing party by night. Just beside the pool is the m

Nice environment and beautiful amenities

The hotel is clean. When I came to view the place , I was shown a nice big room as the standard room. On checking in , I was put in a small room . First my tv wasn’t functioning . My room was changed . The other room had water dripping on the floor from the AC. The soap dispenser wasn’t dispensing . I wasn’t able to have a bath the first night cos of this . The restaurant tried to exploit . We ordered spaghetti bolognese. We got a plate of cold soggy spaghetti with spares minced meat for ridiculous bill! I asked for orisirisi snails and was given snails barely bigger than periwinkles also at a ridiculous price . Terrible service . I won’t be returning here .

Ecco le vere immagini e video che ho fatto quando ero all'hotel quel giorno, e il primo piano di 10 camere di quel giorno.Posizione dell'hotel: il traffico di Lagos è conveniente.Struttura dell'hotel: guardate le immagini da soli, è fatto nel giorno.Letti e pannolini sono visti e letti confortevoli. Decorazione dell'hotel: guardare la foto da solo.Lavastoviglie: non è secco separato.Colazione: guardare la foto da solo.Personale del servizio dell'hotel: la persona si sente molto consapevole del servizio e piacevole durante il soggiorno

La nuova biancheria da letto è paradisiaca. La doccia è un'ottima pressione e la camera per due ha cassaforte, mini frigo con acqua gratuita, bollitore con tè/caffè. Il bancomat nella hall prenderà l'addebito del visto USA per la naira locale, ne distribuirà 10.000 alla volta. La camera era un po' stretta. Vorrei che fossimo stati qui invece dell'appartamento, il loro letto era come una tavola. Personale molto rispettoso e professionale. Il POS non ha preso la carta di credito, né il bancomat, anche se shoprite lo ha fatto. Non vedo l'ora di tornarci, la prossima volta a Lagos.

This is my first stay at the Wheatbaker, and I can now understand why my friends stay here when in town. Although the hotel is on the small side and is a little dated, the service was exceptional. Every single member of staff from the guards to management displayed warmth, care and courtesy, the likes of which I have not experienced in any hotel I have stayed in Nigeria. What makes it even more remarkable is that it seems really genuine and not forced and I could imagine a long term stay here. The food and cocktails were also great. Wish the pool was more private though, and parking more ample, but net net, it gets 5 stars from me!

Sono rimasto qui per una settimana di lavoro. Questo hotel ha un ottimo servizio dalla ricezione alla custodia alla camera. La stanza che ho ottenuto è stata spaziale e molto tranquilla - grande per un buon sonno notturno. L'hotel ha un ottimo centro benessere e spa. Il cibo è di alta qualità, ma non particolarmente creativo, e nessun piatto principale a base di piante.
