Lagos Atlantic Hotel

Lagos Atlantic Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel about 5 minute walk from the beach. Very modern and stylish and exceptionally clean. We had a deluxe double room overlooking the pool and with a sea view. Rooms were very spacious with a large comfortable bed. Breakfast was amazing!! Close enough to walk into town and various local beaches but uber was less than 5 euros to the centre, the marina and also Praia de Luz, so easy to get around without hiring a car. Thank you to the staff who were all amazing!"

"The hotel is dated and has had some recent refurbishment worked carried out. Our Superior Double had been fully refurbished with new fixtures and fittings, decor and AC. The besding amd towels was of very good quality. The on site parking is secure, underground charged at 8 euros and above ground is free of charge Hotel is pet friendly with a charge of 35 euros per pet, although we should have been charged, the fee for our 2nd pet was waivered. No pet welfare (bed, bowls erc6) was provided during our stay, however we didnt challenge management so unsure if this is normal? Overall we were pleased with out choice of hotel"

"Rooms were newly renovated but communal areas were in need of updating. Beds weren’t very comfortable and sheets and towels were well used. Staff were very nice and helpful, checked in late on 8th Oct and guy in reception was great to deal with. Breakfast was fine and staff again very pleasant. Location not ideal for anyone with mobility issues. Overall a great weekend in Lagos."

"Had a very enjoyable stay at this property. It was quiet, comfortable, and friendly. A nice boardwalk walk into town, and a great refuge for a few days of quiet by the pool and beach. The property could use modernization: the decor is tired and there was only one electrical outlet in my unit (for toaster, kettle, living room lamp, and phone charging). Very awkward. but this was a minor irritant."
