I stayed here 9 months ago and it was ok but nothing to report about, however this time i had a superior room and was pleasantly surprised of the quality of the bedding and furnishings. Very clean no moldy smells. Good staff, decent breakfast and restaurant convenient to airport. Would stay here again as it is well proced for the area.
Room was very comfortable. Executive room so view was good. A few issues at check in. Apparently time on Expedia does not match hotel. The overall response was that Expedia is an external platform.
Breakfast was ok. The rooftop was the selling point. Basic gym. Friendly attentive staff. Room service staff quite noisy in the mornings. Overall good for it's price point. Will stay again if nothing else is available.
Exceptional staff. Thank you Hannah, Grace, Joy, Stanley, Mabel for your being really friendly and helpful during my stay.
Wonderful breakfast. I loved the variety of continental and nigerian dishes for breakfast. I didn’t need lunch on most days because breakfast was filling and tasty.
Room to improve amenities. The air conditioning in the rooms need changing. I switched rooms cos the air conditioning wasn’t cooling but the new room wasn’t any better. The lack of AC makes it impossible to stay in the room all day so I won’t recommend the hotel if you plan on staying indoors all day.
Overall, great price for location and amenities. Please fix the AC.
Clean, staff are very respectful and professional. Pool clean and the roof top bar was my best spot because we could see the surrounding cities. Breakfast buffet perfect
The Colossus hotel, Lagos, very clean and spacious rooms ( we occupied 3 rooms . each of same standard), comfortable beds; good shower an clean towels. Had rooftop pub and swimming pool, which looked well maintained.
Wide selection of breakfast menu
Staff were helpful and cheerful.

Looks a bit dated, but it was a nice and warm place. Clean facilities.
Really warm and amazing staff. Hannah at the front desk stands out. She Helped with making transport arrangements, and telling me a bit about the area. The breakfast spread on the rooftop was really great.
There was a brief issue of safety concerns during my stay, but the duty manager and his team handled it expertly, impressively and amicably. They were very professional.
I’ll definitely be back.
If recommend them for short stays in lagos.
This facility and its services including its two restaurants are world class. I am a US-based guest doing business in Lagos, and after staying at five star hotels around the world I would say without reservation that the staff at the Collosus are one of the most courteous and efficient. I personally recommend the business suite for your stay if you can get one. Even, Mr. Olusanya, the general manager will personally attend to you. Simply put, I will not stay at any other hotel in Lagos. Take it from this world traveler.
This hotel will give the likes of Sheraton a run for their money. This,should really be a Five Star Hotel. The complimentary breakfast is a combination of the likes of Nigerian and Western delicacies. I enjoyed the 10th floor roof top restaurant the best. There you can catch a view of almost the entire Ikeja in the horizon. There's a roof top swimming pool that's lighted at night. There's another world class restaurant on the groud floor. My favorite on the menu is their Penne Chicken Alfredo which is also available on the complimentary breakfast buffet. The rooms are very clean and beds are quite comfortable. I haven't stayed in their standard rooms but I will recommend their executive rooms and junior suites without any reservation. Though I have always booked and paid in USD, I think prices are pretty below market value for Lagos.
This is one of the best hotels I've stayed in, especially in Lagos Nigeria. It is very comparable to the Westin, Marriott or the Sheraton but for greater value for less money. You have two choices of restaurants to choose from and dynamic food choices that won't break the bank.
Close to all amenities. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Loved the clean airy room. Good breakfast selection. I would definitely return there.
Must stay at the Colossus was awesome!
I especially liked the customer service we received when we dined in the restaurant. The servers, waitresses and staff were very professional and super helpful.
The bed was very comfortable and Internet access was great!
One thing that I would change is the fact that upon arrival we were told that breakfast was for one person only. Even though the reservation was for two adults this was what we were told. I believe that this is a rule that needs to be changed because upon reserving this room there was nowhere in the policy that states that breakfast would only be served to one person only.
As a common courtesy to their patrons, The Colossus, should take pride in making sure that each and everyone of their guest is at least served free breakfast in the morning.
This is a fresh hotel close to the airport. Positive experience. The staff were nice and friendly. Mr Seun the GM at the time worked quickly to respond to questions in a timely manner. I was treated with respect at all times. I will be coming back here on my next visit to Lagos
