The rooms were clean, staff very friendly, front desk and restaurant staff all lovely people.
Helen, the restaurant coordinator, was the most helpful, smart, people person I meet in awhile.
Peter, the bellhop, very helpful at all times and always with a pleasant welcoming smile.
I enjoyed my stat immensely.
I had an absolutely amazing stay at Lilygate Hotel. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations.
The entire front desk team was outstanding—warm, professional, and always ready to help. From the supervisor to the manager, including Henry, Eucharia, and Peace, everyone went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and truly memorable. Even though I may not remember every single name, every staff member I encountered delivered excellent, top-tier service.
The hospitality, attention to detail, and overall experience were exceptional. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Lekki. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The staff are amazing. They were always eager to help. The restaurant manager Helen was amazing. Always greeting you with a smile. All the staff made me feel welcomed. I can see they all cared about my safety. I will use Lilygate again
The staff at Lilygate are exceptional. I was created by my name as soon as I walked in the door! Nice touch. In addition, I was created with a refreshing cold bottle of water and juice. Ms. Chinyere Kalu, leader at the front desk was a perfect example of providing excellent customer service. She arranged my transportation from the airport to Lilygate, as well as from Lilygate to Ouidah, Benin. If I lived in Lagos, I would hire Ms. Kalu.
If you're looking for a safe, comfortable, and pleasant experience in Lekki, remember to stay at Lilygate.
Thank you to everyone! Well done!
Everything went well. Except for the Front office supervisor or manager, the lady in glasses. She is not hospitable and not willing to attend to guest's request. She needs more training on how to respond to guests while under pressure. The receptionists, Chiamaka, Happiness and porter on duty are superb. Everything else was nice, room clean and well decorated. I enjoyed my stay. I will still come again.
I stay at the Lilygate was amazing. The staff was friendly, kind and very helpful. The was able to assist me with ride to get to another point. Any questions I asked they extended their hospitality to help. Manager is a great person. I came in a day later and had contacted the hotel and she responded by letting me my room will still be reserve for me. I appreciated the staff hospitality and support to make a stay comfortable as if I was home.
The air conditioner in my room did not work. I called them as soon as I checked in and they brought someone to fix it. That fixed only worked that night and it went back to not being functional the next day. I called two more times to have someone fix it. I got fed up and requested a room change which they said the hotel was full and they could not accommodate until the next day. The power went out in the room twice overnight. They again sent a worker to come fix the power but it was very disruptive to my sleep this was around 3 AM and 4 AM. On my last night they switched me to a new room or the AC was working and no power issues. I would not recommend staying here due to these problems. You have to call multiple times to get anything addressed, the customer service is not good.
Aside the late night band playing really loud music from the bar downstairs, it was a great experience.
The staff were really nice and friendly. I'd give them an 11/10 if I could.
Clean rooms.
I stayed at this The Lilygate for a week and I loved my experience! The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. Some aspects of my standard room could be updated but overall this is a wonderful hotel.

Better than many
Hotel above the average in the area. One of the few accepting cards. They have multiple social areas. Only maintenance should improve (showers, a.c.)
It was a good experience. The staff is nice and most of them well prepared. They represent the nigerian culture which is amaizing. Very nice facilities, and they're now remodelating to keep updated.
A good hotel in a high end part of Lagos. It took about 30 minutes to check in, the official that handles 3rd party bookings was not available as at time of my check-in. Otherwise, no other major issues.

Construction noise every day and loud music every night. Shower would repeatedly flood bathroom.
