Prisca W★★★★★ — The rooms are spacious and clean. If, like me, you're wary of picking up bedbugs from hotels and this is one of your considerations when choosing where to stay, then the Metropolitan Hotel, Calabar is an excellent option.
The bedding was clean and fresh, the mattress seam, bed frame, headboard and furniture, clean and free from bugs. Yes, I took my time to check🙈
The hotel has visible security and constant electricity. The bathrooms are clean and fresh towels are provided, for guests who use them.
I highly recommend the Metropolitan❤️

BTX T.★★★★★ — I went there yesterday..the atmosphere is relaxing, the osun rice was delicious but I didn't like the chicken peppers soup wasn't spicy..but I will certainly try the ogbono soup next..
JE I.★★★★★ — VERY lovely ambience. I ordered the seafood pasta (take away) and ate less than half of the meal. For the VERY expensive price I paid, that food was not appealing at all. Don't think I will take the risk of trying another food after wasting some money previously.
On the fair side, maybe it was just a bad day to order seafood pasta.
Bukky B.★★★★★ — The food is good and it's a lot. I was never able to finish any of my portions.
Service takes forever though and they hardly ever have fresh fruit juices.
Eskor E.★★★★★ — Love his energy, love the food and he gives you so much food. Great atmosphere nice and clean worth visiting if you’re in Calabar.
Some G.★★★★★ — Chef Zhanga is going to hate this review, because he ensures his humbleness outshines his talent. I have eaten in quite a few places in Calabar, but I would eat here everyday just for the chance to sp
Emmanuel B.★★★★★ — The food was very okay.
The customer service needs to improve and be better.
THOMAS E.★★★★★ — For your Peace of Mind please avoid this place, their food (coconut rice) is totally tasteless and nonsense, even a toddler cook better than whoever was in the kitchen on Friday 7th November 2025

Christiana D.★★★★★ — I had the best time at The Slessor Restaurant. The food was everything! Personally, I enjoyed the Afang and Vegetable soup. Will definitely be going back there on my next visit to Calabar.
Chris O.★★★★★ — Delicious meal, love the Fisherman soup most especially and Sunday brunch.
Favour E.★★★★★ — I just got back from there few ministers ago i wanted to try their meat pie but I was totally disappointed the fillings were so small just had and I could only taste onions but for their customer service very good
Techytab★★★★★ — These folks had the nerve to serve me burnt chips? Also had to wait over 1 hour to get my burger with the excuse that the chicken was being prepared….🤦🏽♂️
Moyo A.★★★★★ — We went to the Chinese bakery twice. The selection is OK considering I had stopped at four bakeries before landing there with very poor pastry selection.
The service during the first visit was OK. On our second visit, the entire team was watching a football match. They did not acknowledge us when we walked in. It almost seemed like we interrupted their retreat :-). There was a young man not in uniform standing by checkout. When I asked if he worked there, his response was to summon the team to help by making some sarcastic comments about them being his Ogas and Madams. If he is a supervisor, he failed
The young Lady who helped us had a stinking attitude. She was getting our snacks from the case and watching TV at the same time. Although she used a clear plastic bag to get the snacks, her dirty fingers were still a turn off. She was pissed when I asked for an itemized receipt.
Naija, who do us?
Sara S.★★★★★ — The food portions are too small, the sweet and sour sauce is too red, and not tasty it can be much better. We ordered also chicken with oyster sauce, the sauce was ok but the chicken were not good as if cartilage was not removed well and the chicken coat is thicker than the chicken itself. Not all items on menu are available, just a few, we wanted to order cashew nuts sauce, not available. We asked for spring rolls (only vegetables spring rolls are available) but they said it needs 45 mins to be done, and it is an apetizer it should take maximum 15 mins. No wonder why the restaurant was empty on a saturday night, it can be much better.
Austin I.★★★★★ — From the steaming hot, delicious amala to the most pleasant staff, neat and airy environment, it has become my no 1 spot for meals. Even the gents was very neat
The only down side is the meals are too pricey, and they didn't have ewedu to go with the amala. But the okro and gbegiri still made for a delicious meal.
Esther F.★★★★★ — Their jollof rice is lovely but their amala? It’s nothing to write home about. Horrible stew. Meat is always tasteless and unseasoned. Run away! Please!
