"The staff was always there to help, very accommodating. The room was very clean and had a spacious private bathroom. The kitchen could use some updating but it was quite well equipped. Breakfast was nice, the same every day, but very complete. We stayed 5 nights. Of course the location was nice. Walkable to everything."

Ancora Park

Ancora Park

8/10 Good
"Hotel is very bright and well maintained. Front desk staff are very helpful and speak good English. Hotel is in a good location about 10 minutes drive to old town Lagos and about a 15 walk to the nearest beach. Quiet location, no clubs or bars nearby. Hotel breakfast buffet is basically continental style, very good and clean. Rooms very clean and spacious, ours even had a sofa with a pull out bed. Parking is free on hotel grounds in front of the lobby building. We loved the outdoor hotel pool, this is the largest hotel pool I have ever seen. There are even two wading pools and a kids playground as well. Beach chairs are not too crowded. There is a hotel bar between the front desk and the pool. The only thing we didnt like is that we were surrounded by rooms with smokers. Every time we tried opening our balcony door for some fresh air, the smell of smoke quickly flooded our room. This is kind of out of the hotel's control, but something we could have done without. Perhaps they could put smokers and non smokers in different parts of the hotel?"
