    • Olosunde U. ★★★★★ Customer service experience was super, kudos to management for training their staff well. Price was relatively much better given the good service with complementary breakfast
    • Christopher A. ★★★★★ The hotel is easily accessible. They have many rooms of different categories with varied levels of decency. I have stayed in the good ones and in the "not-good" ones. I advise you inspect the rooms before deciding on which room to stay. Food is manageable, especially when you don't really have much alternatives.

    • I'm ★★★★ A very nice, quiet place. I really enjoyed my stay. Sharp services.
    • Huzaifa J. ★★★★ PUBLIC COMPLAINT TO SOLECARE HOTEL, SOKOTO As someone who respects good service and hospitality, I feel it is important to inform you that the major problem with Solecare Hotel is not the building or the facilities — the problem is your staff, especially those at the reception. Your staff do not respect customers, they do not show courtesy, and they do not understand the value of treating guests with dignity. Anyone who comes to a hotel is looking for comfort and proper service, not disrespect and frustration. A hotel where staff lack customer respect is a hotel that is destroying its own business from within. Guests do not return to a place where they were treated poorly — and this has now become a common issue at your hotel. I strongly call on the management to take immediate action: – Train your staff on proper customer service and hospitality. – Pay special attention to the reception team, because they are the face of your hotel. – Improve how guests are welcomed and handled, because this is the foundation of every successful hospitality business. We want to see improvement. We want to see positive change. We want to be proud of Solecare Hotel — not disappointed by the behavior of its staff. Please take this seriously to protect your reputation and your business.

    • Adedamola D. ★★★★★ They have only 5 food options with 2 only protein options. No running hot water. Service is terrible. If you make a complaint they do not respond for days. Leakages in the bathroom. They barged into my room without knocking multiple times. When it rains the whole area is flooded and you’re more less trapped in.
