Maison Fahrenheit Hotel — Hotel in Lagos State

First stay:||Despite being a regular at Clear Essence hotel in Ikoyi (strongly recommended), I was looking for something in the Victoria Island axis off the mainland.||||Booked a few weeks ahead via agoda (with a note left for a preference for a high-floored room). The check-in process was quite standard and smooth with someone on hand ready to help get bags up into the room.||||I was initially helped with my bags into room 101 but upon entering the room, I received a call from the front desk acknowledging the booking note about wanting a high floor room.||I thought this to have been quite thoughtful and was moved to room 301.||||The standard room in itself is quite spacious: a queen size bed, a walk-in closet, a tv, a reading desk, and a pretty spacious bathroom.||With the exception of a few blown out bulbs and some unclear TV channels, the room appeared clean and in order.||||Front desk:||Front desk appears to always be attended to. Credit to Abiodun, Charles and Blessing who were always on hand to help round the clock.||||Cleaning:||Cleaning is provided daily with bottles of water replaced. A bottle of water is usually put on the bathroom sink — signalling to use this instead of tap water.||There is a door card in the room to indicate a desire to either have the room cleaned or not.||||Breakfast:||With breakfast set from 6:00 to 11:00, I was usually down at 10 for breakfast — trying to catch the last hour.||The breakfast is quite adequate with a range of continental options, some indigenous ones like yam, stewed eggs and fruits.||Breakfast costs 6000NGN.||||Restaurant seemingly runs round the clock.||||Power:||Power is relatively constant with the infrequent interruption which do not last longer than a couple of minutes when it does occur.||||Wifi:||Wifi is quite decent and only interrupted when power supply is lost (for about a couple minute upon restart).||||Other amenities:||With the reception and restaurant on the ground floor, the other 3 floors are dedicated to rooms with the rooftop as a lounge on the fourth floor. All floors are serviced by one public-access elevator- not clear”||The lounge gets quite busy in the evening especially on weekends. Never had too much of an issue with noise even on the 3rd floor.||||Parking space is a bit tight inside the gates but fairly managed with the security men willing to keep the car keys to re-park or re-shuffle as needed.||The security men also provide a relatively good service of an inside-out hand-clean of vehicles for NGN1500, if needed/requested.||||Although there is no gym / fitness centre, there is an outdoor pool - providing a nice place to relax, socialize and have a drink or two.||||The only gripe with my stay came from the bathroom. The bathroom layout (which is not uncommon in Nigeria) has the whole room tiled up with a shower- head and drain on one end as well as the toilet and an adjacent sink on the other.||Downside, there was a stench comes from the bath drain which became stronger as the hours went by.||Tried to cope with it by having maintenance come in twice a day to bleach down and pour what appeared to be chlorine down the drain. Although this “treatment” stung the eye right after for a few minutes, it provided some relief for a few hours.||To be fair, the issue appears structural along the rooms ending in x01 (got a whiff of the same stench in my few minutes in room 101 upon check-in but in room 301, it appeared to have been much stronger).||After 3 nights of these treatments to the drain, I requested a room change which I must admit was disappointing as I would have expected the initiative to change rooms have been taken by the staff.||I ran into Mr. Chris (the manager on site) during breakfast who was quite apologetic about the situation and promised to have me moved for my final night.||||I got moved to another standard room 304 for my final night which didn’t have the stench as much.||Redeemed by the final night in room 304 — encouraged me to go ahead and book my second stay of 4 nights for the following week.||||The second 4-night stay, the following week, in room 204 was largely uneventful in a good way.||I would recommend the hotel at a good price value.||||Recommendation: Go straight to the bathroom, mask off and take a deep breath in before unpacking & settling in.||Rooms ending in 04 have a dedicated router in the room.||Give the bazaar rice from the...

Having Booked a few weeks ahead via agoda (with a note left for a preference for a high-floored room). The check-in process was quite standard and smooth with someone on hand ready to help get bags up into the room.

I was initially helped with my bags into room 101 but upon entering the room, I received a call from the front desk acknowledging the booking note about wanting a high floor room.

The standard room in itself is quite spacious: a queen size bed, a walk-in closet, a tv, a reading desk, and a pretty spacious bathroom. With the exception of a few blown out bulbs and some unclear TV channels, the room appeared clean and in order.

Front desk: Front desk appears to always be attended to. Credit to Abiodun, Charles and Blessing who were always on hand to help round the clock.

Cleaning: Cleaning is provided daily with bottles of water replaced. A bottle of water is usually put on the bathroom sink — signalling to use this instead of tap water. There is a door card in the room to indicate a desire to either have the room cleaned or not.

Breakfast: With breakfast set from 6:00 to 11:00, I was usually down at 10 for breakfast — trying to catch the last hour. The breakfast is quite adequate with a range of continental options, some indigenous ones like yam, stewed eggs and fruits. Breakfast costs 6000NGN.

Restaurant seemingly runs round the clock.

Power: Power is relatively constant with the infrequent interruption which do not last longer than a couple of minutes when it does occur.

Wifi: Wifi is quite decent and only interrupted when power supply is lost (for about a couple minute upon restart).

Other amenities: With the reception and restaurant on the ground floor, the other 3 floors are dedicated to rooms with the rooftop as a lounge on the fourth floor. All floors are serviced by one public-access elevator- not clear” The lounge gets quite busy in the evening especially on weekends. Never had too much of an issue with noise even on the 3rd floor.

Parking space is a bit tight inside the gates but fairly managed with the security men willing to keep the car keys to re-park or re-shuffle as needed. The security men also provide a relatively good service of an inside-out hand-clean of vehicles for NGN1500, if needed/requested.

Although there is no gym / fitness centre, there is an outdoor pool - providing a nice place to relax, socialize and have a drink or two.

The only gripe with my stay came from the bathroom. The bathroom layout (which is not uncommon in Nigeria) has the whole room tiled up with a shower- head and drain on one end as well as the toilet and an adjacent sink on the other. Downside, there was a stench comes from the bath drain which became stronger as the hours went by. Tried to cope with it by having maintenance come in twice a day to bleach down and pour what appeared to be chlorine down the drain. Although this “treatment” stung the eye right after for a few minutes, it provided some relief for a few hours. To be fair, the issue appears structural along the rooms ending in x01 (got a whiff of the same stench in my few minutes in room 101 upon check-in but in room 301, it appeared to have been much stronger). After 3 nights of these treatments to the drain, I requested a room change which I must admit was disappointing as I would have expected the initiative to change rooms have been taken by the staff. I ran into Mr. Chris (the manager on site) during breakfast who was quite apologetic about the situation and promised to have me moved for my final night.

I got moved to another standard room 304 for my final night which didn’t have the stench as much. Redeemed by the final night in room 304 — encouraged me to go ahead and book my second stay of 4 nights for the following week.

The second 4-night stay, the following week, in room 204 was largely uneventful in a good way. I would recommend the hotel at a good price value.

Recommendation: Go straight to the bathroom, mask off and take a deep breath in before unpacking & settling in. Give the bazaar rice from the...

I was recommended this property on the Island by a partner in Lagos for my second stay in Lagos. I stayed there 7- 13 March, leaving just before the lockdown. I was not expecting much as I was on business and knew that I would spend much of my time outside the hotel. We checked in very late close to midnight on a Sunday evening. The bar was open but the restaurant had closed down. We asked the Bar Lady if we could have some simple to eat, we would not mind even chips. She called the chef who came back to prepare something for us. The room was good, very good value for the price. Breakfast is delicious and you have the choice to choose between buffet or served at table . The staff from the front office to the restaurant or house-keeping are just a delight to deal with. Always going out of their way to please you. The lobby is very nice. They also have a swimming pool with a bar and TV Screens. You can technically watch TV while swimming.||They have managed to create a nice refreshing cool green area around the pool which is wonderful to relax after a day's work within a city location. The Roof Top bar is also amazing but I am not sure if it operates daily. Great Sunset Views.||The place is very accessible and you can get Uber easily within minutes of ordering. ||All in all, I wish to thank the Staff and Management for looking after me and their guests so well. I will definitely stay with you again next time I...
