Booking Tips

  • Book early for December: Prices surge during "Detty December" in Lagos and the Calabar Carnival period.
  • Confirm power: Ask if the hotel has a generator. Power cuts are common in Nigeria.
  • Check Wi-Fi: Internet quality varies. Upscale hotels generally have reliable Wi-Fi.
  • Airbnb: Often better value than hotels, especially for longer stays. Good options in Lagos (Lekki, VI) and Abuja (Wuse, Maitama).
  • Booking platforms: Hotels.ng is Nigeria's leading booking platform. Also use Booking.com, Jumia Travel, or contact hotels directly.
  • Airport hotels: Book a hotel near the airport for early flights or late arrivals. Lagos traffic can make airport transfers unpredictable.
  • Security: Choose hotels with perimeter security, especially in less-developed areas.
