Business travellers to Lagos increasingly choose serviced apartments over hotels, especially for stays longer than a couple of nights. Neither is always better. Here is how they compare.
Space
A 2-bedroom shortlet gives you separate bedrooms, a living room and a dining table. That’s useful if you are travelling with colleagues or need to hold a small meeting. A hotel room is usually one room.
Cost for groups and longer stays
For two or three people, one apartment often costs less than two or three hotel rooms. Weekly and monthly rates can bring the cost down further.
Food and routine
A fully equipped kitchen means you can eat how and when you want. Many of our apartments also offer a chef on demand if you’d rather not cook.
Service
Hotels win on daily housekeeping, room service and a 24-hour front desk. Good shortlets close the gap with scheduled housekeeping and a host who responds quickly on WhatsApp.
Location
Shortlets on Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1 and in Oniru put you close to offices, restaurants and Victoria Island without hotel prices.
If you are planning a work trip, tell us how many people are travelling and for how long, and we’ll recommend the right apartment.
