Sarah G.★★★★★ — We order four barbecue fish and they were all burnt on one side,they have really nice milkshake though
Okiemute I.★★★★★ — My experience at Confessions Lounge was honestly a mix of good and not so good. On the positive side, the ambience is beautiful. Warm lighting, nice décor, and a comfortable setting that makes you want to relax and enjoy your time. The food itself was also really good, and the staff member who attended to us was polite, patient, and handled our requests well.
But my major issue was the waiting time. We had to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes before our food arrived. Another thing that didn’t sit well with me was being asked to move from the seat we originally picked because “a family of four might come in” and they felt the other seats might not be comfortable for them. We agreed and moved, only to find out later that it was unnecessary (we spent an extra 1 hour and 30 minutes there, and during that entire time, nobody sat in our original seat).
Suggestion: It would help a lot if they had someone at the door whose job is to seat guests properly from the start. That would avoid situations like that awkward, unnecessary, and slightly embarrassing relocation.
Sharon U.★★★★★ — Nice place. The staff were professional and friendly. They prepare your food fresh from scratch but the wait wasn't long. We sat and ate at Milk & honey for a while but later went down to the outdoor bar. A bottle of beer upstairs is 2x the price of the ones in the outdoor bar.
Kevin B.★★★★★ — I ordered a medium pizza over the phone and I received a small size. The price listed was different from what I paid for which was higher. The quality and the look wasn’t nice at all.
I called to clarify but it didn’t resolve anything. I hope they upgrade their services including pricing and food presentation in order to meet up to expectations.
ashley E.★★★★★ — This place is terrible, if i had the chance to give 0 stars then I would. The service took extremely long and there was no one else in the restaurant. When bringing up issues to the server she was rude and dismissive for no reason. Took over an hour to get 4 drinks, a few workers were sleeping at the bar also. They served us rotten meat, and food that’s been sitting out for a long time and on top of that it wasn’t even good. I now have food poisoning and diarrhea from this place. Even a few seats from the bathroom was missing. This place is a joke and mediocre at best. And extremely expensive just for rotten food, terrible service and everything tasting bad. Imagine spending up for 20k for 1 person.
Okiemute I.★★★★★ — I had a fun experience at New 22 Lounge. I’m not sure if it was because we arrived at night, but we weren’t able to get food, which was a bit disappointing. However, the customer service made up for it . The staff were polite, responsive, and did their best to attend to everyone despite the crowd.
The hype men and DJ kept the place lively throughout the night. The atmosphere was energetic, and you can tell it’s a popular hangout spot because it gets pretty packed after dark. The downside to this is that moving around becomes a bit of a chore, especially with the limited seating arrangement. I think some improvements could be made in organizing the seating, although I understand people tend to move chairs and tables around.
The parking situation could also be better. The car park in front of the building is quite small, and the rest of the parking ends up being more “street-style,” which may not feel as secure as guests would prefer. Still, the lighting and overall ambience of the lounge are really nice, and the bathrooms were clean, which I appreciated.

Oghenekevwe O.★★★★★ — Serene environment. The love band nailed it. In all I enjoyed myself
Tobi E.★★★★★ — The Residence Social House is an interesting place to go. They have an indoor lounge just after the fine dining restaurant where you can enjoy, work, chill, have discussions e.t.c
They also have an interactive session every Sunday at 4pm where people come, sit and discuss about trending issues. A first of its kind in Edo State. Their meals are affordable and delicious. I have a biased opinion about Residence maybe because I have become a family member of the Socal Reset sessions on Sundays
Orogun O.★★★★★ — This place is good for hanging out with friends and family without the worry of loud noise. The background music is very good and always fits the mood. The restroom is also fine and neat. One of the best places to go.
Prince O.★★★★★ — One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. Poor service. ACs and TVs hardly work. They collect caution fee while paying for the room. They turn off power supply in the middle of the night. Their mattresses are terrible too
Odeh N.★★★★★ — If you like good food and good customer service DO NOT GO HERE. I made a reservation at 11am and paid 50,000naira to hold this reservation. I informed the restaurant that my husband doesn’t eat spicy food and ordered for “Jollof spaghetti” not spicy. I got to the restaurant and waited over 1 hour to get my food ( even though a reservation was made) to crown it all, my husband’s food was so spicy he couldn’t even eat it. We had to leave. They think they sell class but it’s trash. Very disappointed.
Victory W.★★★★★ — Easily the best fine dining experience I’ve had in Benin city. Expensive, but worth it. The service was impeccable and the waiters were really attentive. The food took a bit long to come in, but I think the general ambience made up for that.
Absolutely recommend.
Agbobu D.★★★★★ — The hotel is quick decent and all the AC works perfectly well. Although the rooms are a bit small but yeah their facilities are awesome my 3 days stay there on my birthday wasn't a waste.
Lollipops★★★★★ — Hands down, this one of the best restaurants/lounge i have been to in a while! It checks on everything. Food is so moderately priced, with large portions and delicious! Only downside it's only a chips and protein menu and unfortunately you can't mix and match (for example, snail and chips or turkey, it has to be chicken and chips), but nonetheless, everything was done to perfection!
The service was a 10/10, and the ambience is amazing!
