    • Cella R. ★★★★ The space and concept is annoyingly beautiful, the artwork is cool. The only upgrade I can point at is customer service and food quality or should I say the rice quality as it is the only food ive taken while in there. The food came but water came an eternity after.

    • O. O. ★★★★★ This place is by the roadside. Their sitout is under a high-tension wire, which is very dangerous due to the unknown.
    • Adedotun I. ★★★★★ The bar and lounge has a nice setup with options for sit-out, private lounge, and open space. Service is average, but the atmosphere is cool to relax with friends. Parking can be a bit tricky, so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed their seafood though

    • Kaycee A. ★★★★★ Been there once. Omor I love the place. You people should be able to have a means of contact. I am always craving for that barbeque 😂
    • BigNJ ★★★★★ Beautifully designed, exterior and interior. Yam and egg sauce was delicious But they are short-staffed, our waiter was attending to more than one table at a time. Though the food was affordable and tasty, it longer than expected. The place was also too quiet, no music or sound whatsoever. It made our time there boring in a way. Asides that, every corner is photo worthy. Perfect for any kind of date or hangout, the seat arrangement fits any. Easy to locate too, along the road of Oluwatuyi.

    • Ismail K. ★★★★ Many things in the menu are not available, there is no any drink you can order as glass apart from coctails, prices are too high comparing the quality. The most funny thing was margharita pizza, they serve with bell peppers and potatos, yes, potatos, imagine, the pizza is not homemade do not believe. I can not advise
    • Oluwafisayomi B. ★★★★ I wanted calamari which they didn’t have (which was sad considering they have a sea-like logo). I tried a ‘potato dish’ I disliked and chicken salad that was fairly good. They serve small portions. I loved the drinks and the ambience is 100/10. Nice staff too and overall beautiful place. And beautiful music🥹. I’ll go there again

    • Oluwadamilola A. ★★★★ This place is inarguably a one star! Can't say for the bar/lounge but the rooms are nothing to write home about! Musky smell in the rooms! Beddings were so dirty like they hadn't been laundered in a while. Requested for a change of beddings at past 7pm and they refused, their excuse being that their cleaner left for the day. Just imagine! Did they take the hotel supplies with them? The shower doesn't work, instead they have a dirty bucket and small bowl in the bathroom. Their wardrobe was also very dusty! They only gave us light overnight. There was no light during the day. There was no complimentary supplies whatsoever! No soap, beverage or towel! The noise from the lounge music at night is deafening! The entire reception is not it at all. This place is definitely no home away from home. Maintenance culture is definitely foreign to them here. I suggest you take your business elsewhere.
    • Gambo D. ★★★★★ Well, well, well. Another hotel I lodged in because I had to. Wotts Garden Hotel isn't the prettiest name but I got exactly what I expected for a half decent hotel, especially considering it's located in the very quiet GRA in Alagbaka, Akure. It's a small sized hotel that was built to serve half as a hotel and half as a garden bar considering the very large space dedicated to the outdoor bar in the premises. I can easily recommend this place for someone who's not looking for luxury but decency and reasonable comfort.

    • Chukwuma N. ★★★★★ Such a beautiful lounge in the capital city of Ondo State, Nigeria; A lovely place for visiting tourists, a few miles away from Akure airport. But service is poor, the food is a bit pricey and fairly tasty. I was told by one of the staff that a customer mistakenly left/forgot ₦500 after his Merry moments at the lounge and the staff was happy to keep the money for her own good and happy about it. Tourists should be careful when they visit, If one forgets his/her phone or wallet, I doubt it will be recoverable!
    • Daniel A. ★★★★ The customer service is okay and respectful and the barbeque is awesome 😎
