The Wheatbaker

I spent 3 nights in this hotel and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The location is excellent and safe. The breakfast was a buffet with several food options. They were well prepared and delicious, too. My room was spacious and clean. Indeed, the room was religiously cleaned every day of my stay. There was a generous supply of good tea bags and cookies. I ordered room service a couple of times and was satisfied with the food and quality of service. The staff at the reception discharged their duties professionally. I will not say the same thing about the staff at the restaurant. Uber cars were readily available. I patronized the bar once and was satisfied with the services rendered. I left the hotel at about 5.30 in the morning and was surprised that it took me about 30 minutes to get to the airport.

First the good: the hotel is centrally located and close to everything we wanted to do. Getting Ubers was relatively easy (except for the airport) and the hotel has a nice art collection. The breakfast buffet was good if you eat a lot of meat but not many options for people who don’t eat meat. Most of the staff was nice and pleasant. The not so good: upon arrival the hotel attempted to charge us for a complete extra night just to check in four hours earlier than the check in time of 2pm even though rooms were readily available. They also wanted us to pay extra for our airport pickup because our flight was delayed by one hour even though we gave them flight info for tracking weeks in advance. They did not disclose any extra fees until check in. They wanted to charge for everything they thought they would get away with. The food for room service was terrible. The rooms were not very clean as the vents were full of dust and lint and the bathrooms were moldy and old (the bed linens were clean though ). Overall, for the price, I would choose another option in Lagos.

This hotel was booked by our local hosts. It was simply wonderful. Great staff, lovely big rooms, full amenities inc fab room service for that one evening when you’ve had a very long day and just need to crash out quietly! Highly recommended.

Returned 9 yrs later with our son and my husband and I were pleasantly surprised that the hotel property is still as good as we remembered from our first visit. The staff was attentive, the buffet breakfast and lunches did not disappoint, and as always the art showcased throughout the hotel was divine. This time around we used the pool and spa which were both excellent. If you want to have a hotel that provides a quiet, calm, respite from the Lagos swirl this place is it. You will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed.

The hotel is not conveniently situated but it is a fairly quiet hotel. WIFI was a bit slow, needed a technician to assist to get it working as well. Breakfast is standard. The food menu can be updated to include more vegetarian options. Expected more considering this was a 5 star.

I love the art, it just makes the experience so much more tranquil and relaxed. My room was clean, well equipped, and the best thing about it, the bed. So ch a great sleep. Breakfast is great, and the gym staff are just so supportive. Can’t wait to return in February
