This is a small hotel on Victoria Island, but its adequate. Reception was very friendly and I was given a bottle of Guinness during check in (although I think that this was just because I’m Irish!). My room was nice enough, the bed was comfy and the bathroom adequately clean. The hotel was very quiet during my stay. At breakfast... More

My room was very spacious and comfortable. Staff friendly and very professional. I felt secure which was important as this was my first trip to lagos. The meals were good. A really nice touch was the 'work space' in my room (a very comfortable desk and chair where i could get some work done in the evenings). Free wi fi... More

Protea Hotel Victoria Island – Lagos, Nigeria I loved this compact, boutique-style hotel and hope to stay there again the next time I return to Lagos. The décor is modern but inviting, the staff is friendly and helpful, the room is comfortable, the restaurant was surprisingly excellent, and everything worked including (importantly) the high speed wireless internet.

I found it small for a business type hotel but that is probably what gave it such a friendly atmosphere. I had to travel to work outside Lagos and it was always a pleasure and relief to return to the Protea in the evenings. Anyone who has worked in Nigeria will know what I mean. My room was clean and...

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
This stunning boutique hotel arguably offers the finest accommodation in downtown Lagos. Conveniently situated right in the heart of Victoria Island's hotel district, everything is near at hand, with Kuramo Waters and the Atlantic Ocean being in easy reach of the hotel. Designed for the discerning traveller, the hotel offers fine dining in elegant surroundings while the secure location ensures peace and quiet from the surrounding hustle and bustle of the city. In the normal Protea Hotels tradition, nothing is ever too much trouble to ensure our GUESTS enjoy all the facilities needed by today's traveller. If you use a little bit of street savvy, Lagos can offer you a number of unique experiences. It has more night clubs and live music than just about any other West African city and is chiefly known for its music. The late Fela Kuti came from an outer suburb of Lagos. Sunny Ade, king of juju music, still calls it home as does the Afro-reggae specialist Sonny Okosun. Sunny Ade's club,Ariya Night Club, is in Yaba and is worth a visit - as is the open-air Jazz 38 where, if you've had the foresight to bring your own musical instrument with you, you might score an invitation to jam with the band. ... more   less
