It was quiet due to the distance from city center. Nice casual dining area within 5 min. walk but limited choices. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good with good selection.

Great hotel in a quiet area close to the historic center but in a quieter area. Rooms nice, large, with a patio overlooking the pool. Nice buffet breakfast included would stay there again.

Super Stay in Lagos
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is 15 minutes walk to the old town and it's all down hill. while we walked the return journey we took a taxi the second day for a cost of less than €5. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice. I would definitely stay in this hotel again. If you have a car the parking is excellent and safe. The location is also excellent, close enough to the town to enjoy and far enough away to be quite and peaceful.

A Solar delight
So enjoyed our return to Solar de Mos. Lena and her team do much make this a relaxing stay. Quiet location in a residential setting, a little back from the old town but a pleasant stroll nonetheless. Indeed the spectacular coastline is another pleasant and nearer stroll. Breakfast is plentiful and carefully managed in present circumstances. The hotel is absolutely spotless. All at a very attractive price point.

This was a charming family run hotel in a nice quiet neighbourhood . Our room was lovely with a nice balcony, very clean and traditional in decor in keeping with the buildings. The pool was great and it was nice to relax, plenty of sunbeds and a lovely garden. The breakfast was great with plenty of choice, cereals,yogurts, fresh fruit,cheese, cold meats and bread, There was also hot eggs,bacon and beans and pastries etc. Really a great choice.

We really enjoyed our short break here. Quiet location, but close enough to the beach or into town. Room was great with big comfy bed, fridge, small balcony and rainfall shower. Pool area nice and relaxing. Had dinner one night as well - it was so tasty. Big thanks to Lena, Mario and the team for looking after us so well.

We were allocated a room in the other building (away from reception, beyond the pool). This was very modern, bright and fresh. Building included a roof-top terrace and a small gym. Great breakfast! Helpful staff. Not too far from the main centre of Lagos, but we appreciated that it was far enough away to be very peaceful and quiet. Very good hotel.

Quaint old style hotel. Location not the best but had on site parking. It was a little hard to find with our navigation system, the addresses are deceiving on this street (Lt. 1 and Lt. 2 are on opposite ends of the street. Good buffet breakfast. Quite a walk to the beach, but the beach is beautiful.

Cozy stay
I stayed at an annex building. Since it seemed the new building, the room was very clean and nice. No complaints about the facilities. Breakfast was also nice with multiple choices. The city center and beach are somehow distant, but with a car, I didn’t have any problems. They also have bikes that you can use. The staff is very kind and heart warming. Only request I have is to reduce the price of the laundry service. Other than that, it is a good place to stay and recommendable.

The welcome and friendliness of evening staff was excellent. The breakfast was very good. However the young waitress at breakfast was unhelpful. We had to clear dirty plates away ourselves as none of the tables had been cleared. They also ran out of plates at the buffet. Would also be good to have an extract fan in the bathroom rather than just an open windows. It got steamy. But overall a fantastic hotel and we would love to go back and spend more time there.

Lovely, friendly hotel with delicious breakfasts
We enjoyed a week in this lovely hotel, despite the unseasonable weather, with temperatures dipping to 5 degrees. The breakfast is delicious, homemade cake a feature, good coffee and lovely relaxed atmosphere. There is an unheated swimming pool which was not tempting on our visit, but would be good in hot weather. The garden is lovely, with lemon and orange trees. We stayed in the new annex, very comfortable and private, with balcony and huge bed, and sitting area, felt more like an apartment. We would recommend this hotel to people who are looking for somewhere authentic and charming near to the centre of Lagos.

Exemplary staff and Old World Charm
This us a charming hotel. The breakfast was lovely. It is an older hotel with old world charm and staff who care. That's why we noticed guests who treated staff like friends and were obviously regular visitors. The one drawback was that our room smelled strongly of old smoke which was rather unpleasant and would be the sole reason I would not be able to stay there again.

Quiet hotel, walkable to beach
This family run hotel is very quiet, perfect for people who want a relaxing vacation (definitely not a party hotel). The location is also ideal, about a 15 minute walk to Praia do Porto de Mos, in my opinion, the best beach in the area (white sand, less crowded). They also have a restaurant in which you can have dinner but you have to book with them before noon each day. We ate there one night, and the food was delicious - definitely worth trying at least once!

Lovely rooms
This is a very quiet hotel, about 20 min walk from the historical centre of Lagos. We had a car so were able to explore many of the beaches quite easily. There is a nice breakfast buffet included, but no dinner unless you pre book it. We were confused by the menu in the room, which seemed to suggest that there were some items (snacks and room service, for example) that were available until 9:00pm without preordering. However there is no food available. We had to unpack and then go find a store to pick up some food for our room the evening we arrived. (We were too tired to try to find a restaurant). Otherwise the rooms are very nice, with terraces, and a kettle with tea bags, which was nice. (no coffee, but we just bought some instant and left it for the next people)

Great friendly accessible place
Lovely friendly staff, great room with lovely pool view balcony. Huge comfy bed. Nice quiet location. This place is really nicely kept and as a lone traveller it was nice going into this size of breakfast room - people would say morning but didn't feel overcrowded. I will definitely stay here again. There is also a pay as you go gym down the road and it's about 20 mins to walk to town.
