I've used this hotel on two occasions and the latest was on the 1st and 2nd February 2013. The drive way from the main gate is so welcoming - green and refreshing. I never had any issues with the reception as i was promptly checked-in during my visits. But inside the room, is a different matter. The first room i... More

I stayed Feb 18 - 22, 2013. Bottom line: If better hotels are booked, this could be a minimally acceptable last choice. However, if you have a choice, stay at the Dunes, the Hilton, the Sheraton, the Protea or somewhere else. The other hotels are not great, but this one is pretty bad. It is within walking distance of the... More

I recently stayed 5 nights here while on business. The staff were friendly and helpful. When I arrived, the room was dirty, there were no towels, shampoo, drinking water etc.. The bell-boy was however helpful in getting it quickly cleaned and serviced. One cupboard door needed repair and while I mentioned this at least 3 times during my stay, it... More

I stayed in the Bolingo on my first trip to Nigeria for about a week. I thought the stay was relatively pleasant, although the photos from the hotel's website are extremely misleading. They may have been accurate 10 years ago, but the restaurant/bar/room was only a vague resemblance to the photos today. I typically ordered room service, and the food... More

I would like to give this hotel a rating of 3.5 if I could, since it is better than average for Abuja from what I have heard about some other places, but I would struggle to call it 'very good'. I stayed here for a 3 day business trip on my first visit to Abuja. The cost is quite reasonable... More

I stayed here for two weeks during a recent business trip to Abuja. Essentially, I agree with the reviewer who said it was like a Holiday Inn (of the older variety). Apparently, this was one of the pre-eminent hotels in Abuja a decade ago, but the death of the owner created a disruption in service and maintenance. What I liked... More

After reading the recent reviews positive reviews I decided to give it try. Unfortunately my experience was not positive. My booking was not properly in the system when I arrived. In the only piece of good service I received during my stay I was at least given the key to my standard superior room. I am not sure what was... More
