I spent two days in House J during the recent book fair in Lagos. I was really impressed with every aspect of the hotel. Service was excellent , staff were friendly, food quality and variety was great and the design and décor of the room was the best I have seen in Nigeria. Most guests were European and I made... More

It was my first time in Nigeria & my partner was worried about security but the hotel was very safe & secure. We paid for the hotel pick... More

I have been at the House J a number of times, and the experience these past weekend got me mesmerised yet again. Where do I start from! I still think House J remains some little kept secret...Its on / off a major road in the GRA area of Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, but quite and effortlessly easy to locate. The security... More

This was my second time to stay at House J in Ikeja, and I have to say that it seemed shabbier than what I remember a year ago. Location and security are good (as others mentioned), the complimentary breakfast is quite limited in choice, and internet seemed spotty (I could only access it in the restaurant). Nice pool at the... More

First time I slept here, the duvet felt like butter, I love any hotel that make me forget my own home for a minute. Very good decor in and outside the hotel. The food is great and service is wonderful. In a very good enviroment too

House J is one of several guesthouses that have sprung up in the Ikeja area near Lagos airport catering mainly for expat guests and wealthy Nigerians. It trades on easy access to the airport (true) and good security (true). However, the overall experience is very average, especially given the high prices (over $ 200 / night). My room was reasonably... More

Weird that bathroom doorI is see through and would prefer a shower curtain rather than those half glass doors. Found shower is annoying, sprayed u direct on the face or the... More

First thing: this is not really a hotel, more what I would call a lodging house. CHECKIN & LOBBY: friendly but a bit slow. They take payment for some nights in advance - this tends to be a slow process. You will immeadiately realize you are not in a hotel - there is no lobby etc - more like a... More
