2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

I want to love this place and give it 5 stars because it has all the potential. The art and decor are really original and create a nice atmosphere and the staff are fairly good. But, like most hotels in Nigeria, it is a massive let down, especially considering it costs $200-a-night. Bad things: there was no hot water, the... More

I did not stay at the hotel. I had a lunch buffet during a bus tour of Lagos. It seems to be a popular spot for the locals. They have free wireless throughout the property. It is a great spot for business meetings. I thought the food was good. African buffets are different than American buffets. American buffets are more... More

Have read a lot about Bogobiri Hotel and decided it was time to try this place out on my next trip to Lagos especially after my usual place of stay was unavailable. Bogobiri Hotel is right in the center of the city in the Ikoyi District and the first thing that struck me was the lack of outdoor space which... More

When traveling over here I end up either at an overpriced 5 star hotel that falls short of my 5 star standards or at a place where I've got my own mosquito net and pad lock. This is the first African boutique kind of hotel that feels Africa, yet it's still totally clean and comfortable. Good service by reel people,... More

this place is great, Ive stayed at the bla-bla Ibis hotel and the really fancy Wheatbaker resort just down the street. Both are fine but as far as feeling like you're actually in Nigeria and not some sterile airport hotel the Bogobiri House is the place to go. Most importantly the staff is super friendly, the vibes are areasom and... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2012

I stayed at Bogobiri in December 2011 for ten days on business. The hotel is fine. For Lagos. Which isn't saying much. The rooms - I stayed in several - were rather dingy and in need of sprucing up and a good clean. The food varied wildly: excellent jollof rice one day followed by watery, insipid pepper soup the next.... More

I was a bit apprehensive when I approached Bogobiri nearly three weeks ago on a rainy Sunday morning having arrived from Abu Dhabi for my first time in Lagos. The outside did not reveal what the inside had on offer!!! My check in was smooth and trouble free and Ugo was on hand to check me in despite it being... More

In the chaos and bustle of Lagos, this is a tranquil and laid back place to stay. The friendliness of the staff and the service they provide was the best I received in Nigeria. The food was excellent - although the soups are toward the far end end of the blow-your-head-off heat scale. The room was clean, quirky and very... More

I can't recommend this place more. It is NOT a four star hotel, but it gives you a true Lagos experience. There used to be a really nice restaurant/bar across the street that played brilliant live music, including afrobeat legend Tony Allen. If this place is still around, that makes Bogobiri worth it, all on its own. Even if it's... More

I stayed at Bogobiri for 3 weeks and really got to know the place and the staff. By the time I left it really was like a second home. Its a small place and so its easy to get things done and find people to do them. This is great because while the staff are lovely, things dont run by... More
