The Metropolis Lekki

The nigerian food in the restaurant is great

Location and staff!

There is need to upgrade some of the facilities at the place, e.g The gym room

The breakfast was alright, even though I had to go downstairs to remind them - cos I reckoned they mentioned I will have a complimentary breakfast on my first morning, but it never came in until I went to ask for it.

The gym was not in a good state. I believe the ceiling was leaking, and due to the downpour of rain, it was bad. I used it only once and didn't go back cos the floor was slippery.

the location.

unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing, particularly considering the amount paid for the stay. firstly, the pictures used to advertise the rooms did not accurately reflect the actual condition of the accommodation. the rooms appeared much cleaner and better maintained in the photographs, which i believe were heavily edited. the reality was quite different, with noticeable issues relating to cleanliness, unpleasant smells and mould. this is particularly disappointing because i have stayed at this property before and have experienced similar issues. on a previous stay, the cleanliness was so poor that my wife and i actually had to bring our own cleaning products and clean the room ourselves. it is concerning that these standards do not appear to have improved. there were also several concerns regarding the quality of the facilities, particularly the showers and water hoses. the sockets in the rooms were loose and appeared potentially dangerous, which is something that should be addressed immediately. in room 404, the placement of the air conditioning unit made very little sense, as the airflow did not reach the bed properly, making it difficult to feel any cooling effect while sleeping. one of the most frustrating experiences, however, was being asked to vacate our room after paying for a late checkout. i was informed that another guest wanted to check into the same room, meaning we would have to move elsewhere. this made very little sense, considering we had already paid to extend our stay. unfortunately, the alternative room we were moved into was considerably worse. the air conditioning was less effective, the shower had a very unpleasant smell, and the water was cold. despite calling reception several times to report these issues, the only response we received was repeated apologies, with no real urgency or effective solution.
