Lagos Marriott Hotel Ikeja

The Lagos Marriott Hotel is, by far, one of the best hotels I've stayed at in Nigeria. While the rooms are undeniably nice, cozy, and comfortable, where they truly shine—and where many others fall short—is the food! I am taking the time today to write this review because, although the food in every restaurant within the hotel is great, I had an especially wonderful experience at Azure Grill.||Our waiter, Patrick Nyiam, made the hour or so we spent at Azure the highlight of my trip. He was patient, courteous, and provided excellent recommendations. Thank you so much, Patrick, for ensuring my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal (especially the big cheese burger!). The food was fantastic, and we would definitely return.

Good experience overall. Sufficient parking, great ambience, fair variety of meals(taste of food can be improvedupon), and restaurant options to choose from within the hotel. Good proximity to key places. Easy to locate/access. Room rates are over the top.

Dining at Idapo Lounge was pure bliss! The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly. The starff were very nice especially Hope, was the epitome of kindness. Her courteous and respectful demeanor made me feel right at home. The food was a symphony of flavors, and the service was impeccable. Every detail was perfect, making it a truly memorable experience. Idapo Lounge is a gem, and I can't wait to return!

Was here for a business dinner with about 8 ppl at the Asian themed restaurant ( forgetting the name now). Despite being first to order while the restaurant was still empty at 7pm, our main meal didn't arrive until 8.30pm. fortunately, we had ordered appetizers and ended up taking the main course to go. It was tasty though!

The Marriot experience was a great one. Courteous staff and cool environs.. It can be helpful if personnel are not loitering or loafing around the ladies and gents around the halls used for events. The car park might be more illuminated.

I typically do not take the time to write reviews about hotels, as I’ve come to believe most offer similar experiences — with staff doing just enough to keep guests moderately satisfied and hopefully returning. However, my recent stay at the Marriott Hotel near the airport in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, completely challenged that belief.||I first stayed at this Marriott in February 2022 and was impressed by the hotel’s ambience and service. At the time, I assumed it was just a strong initial impression — a display of customer focus that would fade over time. But I was wrong.||I returned for another stay from May 20 to May 30, 2025, and I’m pleased to say the hotel has not only maintained its standard but has elevated it.||The property remains beautifully designed, with a secure, well-managed entrance manned by professional security personnel. The warm, welcoming atmosphere begins the moment you arrive.||Upon arrival, I was greeted by Mathew, a tall, sharply dressed gentleman in traditional attire, whose sole task seemed to be welcoming guests — and he did it exceptionally well. The front desk staff were courteous and efficient, resolving my reservation quickly and professionally.||Dining at Koriko Lounge — A Highlight||My mornings began with breakfast at the Koriko Lounge, and it became a highlight of my stay. Every day, I encountered friendly, professional staff who clearly take pride in what they do.||Tina, always cheerful behind the drink counter, greeted guests warmly. Shade, stationed at the podium, welcomed me with a smile and enthusiasm. Helen, who guided me to my seat, explained the breakfast options and made me feel at home. The dining area was spotless, with one staff member always on standby to assist and another ensuring cleanliness throughout.||The food, particularly the Nigerian cuisine, was excellent and a nostalgic treat I thoroughly enjoyed.||During my nine-day stay, I consistently experienced outstanding service from the following Koriko Lounge staff:||Tina, Helen, Fidelia, Shade, Seyi, Faith, Ifeoluwa, Ebiere, and Oluchi — your professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly elevated my experience.||On two occasions, I had specific concerns. One was resolved promptly by Seyi, whose calm, courteous, and professional demeanor was admirable. On another, Tina and Helen handled the matter fantastically, showing dedication and genuine care for guest satisfaction. Their exceptional service left a lasting impression.||Shout-Out to the Kitchen Staff. |One particularly memorable experience deserves special recognition. I ordered an offal meat dish, not realizing it consisted of various internal parts, which I couldn’t eat. When I informed the kitchen staff, they graciously offered a replacement meal — no hesitation, no fuss. What truly stood out was what happened next: someone from the kitchen team actually called to check in on me, making sure I was content with the replacement and my overall dining experience.||I believe the server who picked up the dish to be reheated may have mentioned that I looked a bit disappointed, and that simple act of empathy made all the difference. I’m sorry I can’t remember his name, but he was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. That thoughtful call from the kitchen made my night — a perfect example of Marriott’s customer-first culture in action.||Room Service and Housekeeping|Special thanks to Moses and Kingsley from the housekeeping team, who ensured my room was consistently clean and well-kept throughout my stay. Their professionalism and attention to detail were greatly appreciated.||The staff near the elevators were also always pleasant and smiling, contributing to the overall welcoming environment.||A Minor Suggestion|If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to consider making the lobby area a little less “busy”. A more relaxed and calm aesthetic could enhance the first impression even further.|| Final Thoughts|Though I didn’t get a chance to try the other restaurants within the hotel, my brother and his son — who were also staying there — had great things to say about the food and service in other dining areas.|| In summary, Marriott Hotel Ikeja has exceeded my expectations once again. The service, staff, food, and atmosphere were all exceptional. I left completely satisfied and will absolutely be returning.|| Well done, Marriott Lagos. You've set — and maintained — a truly high standard.||Thank you,|Val

Really clean room. The staff were top notch! Was given a ‘tour’ of the room as well services that they rendered. The food was a healthy portion and could feed 2 if you’re not one that eats a lot. They did mix up my pasta order though which made me believe the kitchen staff had no clue about what I was ordering or what they could provide in the kitchen could also have been culture difference. What I know as pasta and what they understand as pasta. I personally felt the lobby area was “too busy” and filled with people all the time. Didn’t make me feel as safe as the hotel was portraying. The lobby area is the first place one walks into and it was always packed with people “loitering”. Although, one needs a room card to access the elevators to get to ones room. Just that initial “busyness” was what threw me off. Every other thing otherwise, was good.

It was overwhelming in a good way. Attending a summit in a very cool environment, no noise as the hall was underground! 😍😍 I was intrigued seeing the efforts from the event management I was paying 💯 attention during the summit. I was so grateful for such occasion. When they said everyone should go for break I didn’t know we had buffet outside, I took my time inside when I came out I was wowed again. I ate some cakes and had juice. Went back in ordered my cab 🚕 everything was so easy.
