Review analysis
Serene location away from city bustle with clean swimming pool.
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❤️

Apologize for my previous comment which I dont know how to take it off. Very surprisingly my lost earrings came out from Lagos Oriental hotelmonce I returned Lagos.
I accused your hotel staff and I m deeply sorry for it.
Your hotel was otherwise very fine. Please forgive my big mistake.

Natura G.★★★★★ — I m estonian woman who came to enjoy Calabar, unfortunatly fist night my earrings was stolen from locked room and nobody knew anything! No security and anyone can enter your room
Ime P.★★★★★ — Checked in on 27th November, 2025. The ground-floor room did not feel unsafe, until it revealed that safety here is an illusion. While I was in the bathroom, the POP ceiling collapsed, metal framing and a live electrical cable falling into the exact space where I was about to shower. Survival came down to timing, not design.
At reception, there was a quiet apology. No report. No manager. No refund. Only a relocation.
The next room leaked steadily, drained poorly, and hosted drain flies, water pooling at my feet like a stalled tide. After another complaint, I was moved upstairs, an exercise in displacement rather than resolution.
For a hotel described as recently renovated, the failures feel structural, not accidental. That night I slept fully clothed, lights on, listening to the ceiling as one listens to ice beginning to crack.
Channel View Hotel is not overtly hostile, it is worse than that. It is indifferent.
Staying here is less a booking than a quiet agreement to trust chance over care.
I would not stay here again and cannot recommend it to anyone who values basic safety.
El L.★★★★★ — We have been sending guests to channel view hotels and so far we have had no negative feedback
Ms O.★★★★★ — I had come 2 years ago. The food was good. They had an elevator too so I thought staying here was a good idea. It wasn't.
Will A.★★★★★ — Great stay at De Grand Hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, and quite a lively atmosphere at the bar / pool area. Can be a little noisy so bring earplugs if you want to go to bed early.
Gideon O.★★★★★ — The environment is serene. Polite staff. The rooms are spacious and well illuminated. Great value for money. Although light in the afternoon is poor, they make it up in the evening.
Serene environment
deltoro D.★★★★★ — Comfortable, quite peaceful and has a touch of hospitable spirit they can do better if the facilities are upgraded
