Very nice nigerian style
It was a good experience. The staff is nice and most of them well prepared. They represent the nigerian culture which is amaizing. Very nice facilities, and they're now remodelating to keep updated.

The overall is good. Main problem was the room. The air conditioner was not working well and was also very noisy. They tried to fix it but still.

Hotel above the average in the area. One of the few accepting cards. They have multiple social areas. Only maintenance should improve (showers, a.c.)

My and my wife's stay at the Lilygate was first-class from start to finish! The service and friendliness of the staff was excellent! The decor and presentation of the hotel was beautiful, with lots of African-inspired art work throughout! The food was amazing, well-presented and freely available at any time, including room service. We had breakfast include which was a seamless process to sign for everytime we ate. The rooms were beautifully presented and outfitted with all the basic amenities needed such as toiletries, a safe, fridge and also had a small balcony. There were some minor issues such as the air conditioning unit having some condensation which dripped but when told about this, the front desk staff explained what we needed to do (vent the room from time to time due to the humidity) and the problem was resolved. The hotel was very safe, with security staff at the main gates. The local area itself was very safe and well-outfitted as well with numerous grocery stores, restaurants and bars, hair salons and any other things you may need. The hotel also has a well-maintained pool and gym with an excellent personal trainer. There is also an outdoor bar and grill with great food and nightly entertainment which is first-class! I highly recommend staying at the Lilygate and definitely will be back!

The hotel is certainly one of the better hotels in Lagos. The rooms were well appointed and the conference facilities were good. Food was a bit repetitive and staff were sometimes a bit aggressive in trying to push you to buy drinks or food in the bar, lounge and pool areas, when all you want to do is just have a peaceful relaxing time. The impression created was that staff must use every opportunity to maximise revenues. I was also not impressed with the laundry service. Given the cost for washing and pressing, I was surprised to discover that they use cheap key soap for the washing, which came back smelling not too good.

Staff was great, very helpful and friendly. It's a secured property with multiple onsite security guards onsite. Breakfast and dinner buffet was a mixture of local Nigerian dishes and international foods -- good selection. At the moment, I can't think of a negative remark. It's my second stay at the property.
