Great Location: I liked the fact that its quite central. Easy to get anywhere on the island and not too far of a car ride from the mainland. Close proximity to clubs, restuarants, business district and the beaches. The staff is super friendly and you always feel like "you are welcome." Probably the selling poiint of why you should pick...

I had never stayed in a hotel in Nigeria before and was quite skeptical before my stay here. I can truly say that this hotel is like a gem, a haven away from all the hustle and bustle that Lagos is. I literally felt like I was in London upon walking into the lobby and seeing my room. Customer service... More

Pretty decent hotel. Good location close to the business district in Lagos. Nice buffet array, loads of options. Not sure the pricing matches the overall service quality and rating. At the right price i may rate higher.

The Southern Sun in Ikoyi is like a home away from home! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are great and always have a little touch extra! We stay there a lot on business and it is a keen meeting place for many business people in Nigeria. The lobby normally buzzes with energy! The restaurant is one... More

This is the 3rd visiting Lagos, 1st time at Southern Sun. Compared to Radisson, the rooms are very small. There is also a weird smell looming all over the place, common across Nigerian hotels but a bit more at this one because of the wall to wall carpets. Make sure you ask for a room on the left wing.

This is my first trip to Lagos so I don't know how this hotel compares to other hotels here. In general it's a good hotel, security at the gates, doors elevators and seems to be one on each floor. The restaurant has a buffet for each meal which has a decent selection for everyone. The room (I got a standard... More

Great personal touches made a long stay in Lagos a lot easier - I would stay here again, the staff are efficient and very friendly. Its on the Ikoyi island so access to VI is easy and relatively close to the airport (that doesn't mean you will get there quickly at all) my only criticism is that there is nothing... More

I've stayed a couple of times in the hotel and have found it to be ideal for business trips, in particular if you have business in Ikoyo. They have a good service attitude, good food (both western and local), and a decent Internet connection. The hotel is relatively new, rooms are clean and well maintained and the staff is always...
