Hotel ibis Lagos Ikeja

The light is generally good though sometimes very epileptic(may have been a generator problem). The beds and pillows are terrible (soft), gave me a serious neck and shoulder pain. Towels are old and torn. Only one towel provided for a reservation of 2 people. Food is just there, nothing great about it and the dining staffs are quite lackadaisical. I've been staying here for sometime, usually just an overnight stay so I just manage it but don't think I'll be staying here again.

'Was my first time in this Ibis location as distinct from previous stays in others in Africa and Europe. The location is central and close to the airport. However greater attention is needed in the rooms. Faulty bedside bulb was never replaced after I complained. The TV had just a few channels, missing out vital local news stations. The buffet meals were fair except for the breakfast that was somewhat spartan, with very little choices. Staff were pleasant but attention is needed on the finer details.

I have stayed here several times, but it's only because there are no other decent options at decent prices and that accepts international credit cards around this area in Ikeja. I am an international traveller and I know that the Ibis brand is questionable in quality world wide. But this one is probably the worst of all. This Ibisi hotel building is absolutely dated with no significant renovation having been done. All the rooms are pretty dated, with cracks and old AC. The restaurant areas is mainly for local people, as the menu is generally Nigerian. It does get filled with Nigerian during the evening time. The AC basically does not work in the restaurant and lobby area. Depending on which room you are given, you'll have trickling shower and a shower head that is not propped up right as the screws are so loose and not maintained. You will constantly have to hold that shower head with your arms when in use. I used to think it was acceptable since hygine was okay. But my greatest disappointment this time were the cockroaches. There have been a few small baby cockroaches during the couple of times I stayed. However, this time a huge cockroach appeared at midnight. A cockroach on the 4th floor signifies a lack of pest control throughout the building. I do credit the hotel staff on brining me a spray despite the time. But lack of basic pest control in such international branded hotel is unacceptable. The hotel should be taken out of Ibis group or spend some money on renovation.
