Why Short Let Apartments Are Better Than Hotels in Lagos

If you’ve ever stayed in a hotel in Lagos, you already know how frustrating it can be. On paper, hotels promise comfort and convenience. But in reality, they often deliver cramped rooms, noisy hallways, unpredictable service, and a bill that feels more like punishment than hospitality.

For many visitors, whether they’re coming for business, a family event, or just to relax, the hotel experience in Lagos simply doesn’t live up to expectations.

The Problems with Hotels No One Talks About

Most hotels in Lagos look good on booking apps but feel impersonal and crowded once you arrive. The rooms are small, you’re surrounded by strangers, and there’s little privacy. You hear footsteps and conversations through thin walls. Housekeeping knocks at the worst times. If you want to work, the environment isn’t really conducive, and if you’re staying more than a couple of nights, it starts to feel suffocating.

Then there’s the price. Hotels charge premium rates, especially on the Island, but what you get for the money often falls short. A single room with a bed, maybe a TV and a tiny bathroom. Nowhere to cook your own meals, no space to relax beyond the bed, and no real sense of “home”.

And if you’re travelling with family or a group? Hotels force you to book multiple rooms, often far apart, and you spend more time coordinating who’s where than actually enjoying your stay.
