Marina Rio

This hotel is located right in the heart of Lagos with a walking distance to organized tours' meeting places, old town restaurants and shops, as well as marina. Clean, modern rooms and a nice size swimming pool on the top. Receptionists are courteous, knowledgeable, and willing to assist with every issue. We were not able to get an extra night because they were fully booked, but we were more than welcome to store our luggage until we were ready to leave the town. If you would like to be in the middle of action but at a peaceful enclave, this hotel is a place to be.

Great location, close to the train station and also the Lagos nightlife. Rooms are lovely with balconies overlooking the Lagos marina. There is nothing to complain about here.

Our stay at this hotel was a major disappointment, primarily due to the shockingly poor breakfast. Charging €20 per person for what can barely be called a breakfast is simply outrageous. If you're expecting a proper hot meal – forget it. On the first morning, the only hot items were an omelette and bacon. The next day – an omelette and baked beans. That’s all. No sausages, no boiled eggs, no pancakes – not even the basics you’d expect from a budget hotel, let alone a 4-star property. I carefully observed what other guests were doing: most just made themselves a coffee, grabbed a bread roll with some cheese or ham, and walked away. It was obvious everyone was equally underwhelmed. When my husband politely asked if it was possible to have some eggs prepared separately, the answer was a blunt: “We don’t do that.” Frankly, that response is unacceptable. If you don’t offer the most basic breakfast items, what exactly are guests paying for? On top of that, the staff were distant, unapproachable, and showed zero hospitality. They avoided eye contact and didn’t even greet guests in shared spaces – not in the hallways, not in the elevator, nowhere. This hotel does not live up to its 4-star rating by any standard. The service is minimal, the attitude is indifferent, and the breakfast is a disgrace. We feel thoroughly let down and would absolutely not return – nor would we recommend this place to anyone.
