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

I spent 2 weeks at the Bolingo Hotel, it is a nice place to be with friendly people and staff. The rooms are looking good and are clean - unlike what one would expect in Nigeria. I like the buffet restaurant and the food is good and reasonably priced Some live entertainment at night provides for some good times. It... More

I was pleasantly surprised with the Bolingo Hotel in Abuja. My booking was on record, my room ready when I arrived after a strenuous trip with lost airline bookings and missed connecting flights from Johannesburg via Accra . I was warned about African hotels and especially those in Nigeria - none of this was applicable to Bolingo. One form to... More

No where as bad as people make it out to be. The hotel is an impressive structure, close -ish to the international airport. The rooms are basic but clean. The views from the 5th floor and above are very impressive. Staff are helpful. The food and restuarant menu are very good. I didn't go to the nightclub or pool side... More

One could do a lot worse -- it doesn't stink and is clean. One could also do much, much better. It looks reasonably nice from the outside, which helps magnify the disappointment once inside. Some notes: -at check-in: ``Do you want hot water or internet''? -45 minutes to check in due to them messing up the reservation. Multiple other guests... More
