    • Adetutu B. ★★★★★ Tucked on the mainland is luxury, which surpasses the hype of Lekki area. It is home. A Serene environment. Neat well kept quiet and welcoming.
    • James N. ★★★★★ Nice Housing Estate. But ensure you have your name submitted at the gate by the resident before going as the security guys can be something else cos they will let you stay in the rain and never let you in.

    • Ayo A. ★★★★ Serious Safety and Security Concerns I feel it is necessary to warn potential guests about the current environment at this property. While marketed as a luxury short-let, the building appears to be frequently occupied by individuals involved in questionable activities. The atmosphere is increasingly unsettling, and there is a visible presence of what appears to be criminal elements. My primary concern for any legitimate traveler is the high risk of a security raid by the police or EFCC. If such an event occurs, there is a very real danger that innocent guests could be caught in the crossfire or detained along with the targets of the investigation. For your own safety and peace of mind, I would strongly advise looking for alternative accommodations until the management takes drastic measures to vet their occupants and secure the premises. Not recommended for families or business travelers.
    • Moses U. ★★★★ Some of the pictures on your website are not yours, like the terrace balcony, and the room with all white bedsheet and wall clock, it belongs to Nordic hotel Lagos, kindly take them down and stop misleading people. Be original Thanks!

    • oghenejabor O. ★★★★ An abandoned building they are trying to re t out now. So I went there with my team to see how we can put the elevator back in order
    • Joy S. ★★★★ Hostel rooms look good but the compound is quite small, no room for cars. Both guys and ladies stay here but on separate floors. Cons: it is just on the road, can be unsafe to get in at night at times cos of petty thieves. You just have to guard your things well and make sure you dont stay at the gate knocking for too long.

    • James F. ★★★★ Poorly Managed, Disrespectful, and Unprofessional I am sharing this review in hopes that it helps future guests make a more informed decision before booking this apartment. From the outset, my stay dates were clearly communicated to the host via an agent and confirmed. Despite this, I was informed mid-stay that I needed to vacate the apartment because the host had decided to accommodate another guest who was probably booking for a longer period. I went out for the day under the reasonable assumption that I still had access to my accommodation. I was then contacted and told to return immediately to pack my belongings. As a direct result of not being informed in advance, I was forced to move out over an hour past the standard check-in time, an inconvenience that was entirely the host’s making. What made the situation even more unacceptable was that my caution deposit was not refunded in full. The host cited my delayed departure as the reason for the deduction, the very delay that was caused by their own failure for doing something wrong. This property showed no regard for guest welfare, basic hospitality, or professional conduct. I would strongly advise anyone considering this apartment to look elsewhere. If this review prevents even one person from going through the same experience, it has served its purpose. I know Nigerians do not care or bother about reviews, but I am sure this will help someone someday.
