Stayed here for 2 nights. Second night, came back from a very long tiring day found the room was not made. Called reception and told that I should drop the key at the reception if I want the room to be made. The reception even raised his very rude voice that I should wait for an hour to have the... More

I went to Kano on business, and considering the security situation in the north, my family was a bit skeptical of the trip. I carefully searched for a hotel on tripadvisor as is my practice and discovered this oasis in the desert, bit expensive but well worth the price. The food is quite good and service was up to speed,... More

Prince has maintained their rooms and exteriors. What remains is to add value by providing some self entertainment within the rooms and the hotel. Notably because guests may spend more time in their rooms and the hotel environs while in Kano.

Prince Hotel is basically built around its car park - although there is a strict policy of no noise and it doesn't present a problem. The compound is secure with efficient and professional 'Halogen' guard force. This is not cheap, however, this is Nigeria and you are paying 5-star prices for a good 3-star hotel. That said, it is worth... More

So far this is the best hotel I've stayed in in northern Nigeria. It's very clean, the food is ok (and some of it's good) and safe to eat (including the salads and fruit), and the staff are friendly generally very helpful. There are beautiful gardens that are well tended and full of birds. There's a patio shaded by flowering... More

The best thing about this place is the restaurant, a great respite from the food we'd been eating in northern nigeria. There are NINE different room rates. The standard is 18500N which is clean but very average. My colleagues shared a villa suite for 32000N which was far better so go for that if there is two of you and... More

The Prince Hotel is my favorite of the several Nigerian hotels I have stayed in. The staff was quite nice and helpful. The rooms were clean. The restaurant was nothing special but the food was good and reasonably priced. I stayed in a small room in the main building adjacent to reception. It was clean and comfortable. The pesticide smell... More

Shared a spacious villa room with a colleague, 9 day stay. Need to put green card outside room to have it cleaned. Towels were fine. Power off several times a day, for a few minutes each time. Beds very hard. Odor in rooms from insecticide - spray, can have it skipped if you ask, tho there are mosquitos. AC worked... More

Having arrived in Kano after a day-long journey from London via Amsterdam and having had 'customs officials' at Kano airport claim my suitcase was still in Amsterdam (requiring $100 to have it 'expressed') before I spotted it being loaded into the back of a pick-up truck outside the airport, I was hoping for a bit of solace. No such luck.... More
