Hotels in Lagos with the Best Reviews

Reviews tell you what other users like yourself who have tried a product really think. Why is it important for you to check reviews before you buy a product or pay for a service? Because it gives insight into the user experience on others and helps you avoid pitfalls. Sometimes these pitfalls may be negligible issues like a wrong description to the business, or major issues like a defective product that would not be replaced or maybe bad customer care service.
Hotels are meant to pamper their guests, give them an entirely different levels of comfort and relaxation, even for 2 or 3 star hotels who may not have the luxury of 5 star hotels on offer, the demands of the hospitality business still means guests has to be treated like royalty, rooms have to be kept clean and the bare necessities should work properly too.
We get hundreds, thousands of reviews on our website on the different hotels we have available from the thousands of customers who book hotels through us.

5 Things a Business Traveler Wants from their Hotel



Business travelers find themselves hopping from one city to the other several times a year. Going everywhere there is a deal to be made, sale to make, a negotiation to make, a training, seminar or conference to attend or present in. Usually luxury hotels have all the ends covered in terms of facilities and amenities. But when traveling on a budget, business travelers may not be opportune to get the most out of what they want from their hotel. Business travel can be very demanding. While travelers want these things they do not want them on account of being spoiled. But because at the very least they need these to carry out activities to make their trip a successful one. So these amenities are really just resources and not luxuries. Ideally, Hotels in Maitama Abuja and other similarly visited destinations for business would have these amenities available for travelers.



Internet
As expected internet connectivity is one of the most sought after amenities in hotels. Many hotels without Wifi connection in their hotel rooms are losing customers to competitors who have and keep the internet connection fast and strong. The business traveler needs to send emails, access drives and online storage networks, keep up with the news, use his apps, communicate on Slack or Whatsapp with members of his team, there is no negotiating Internet with the business traveler.
Room Service
Because the business traveler is often out having one meeting or the other and would only retreat to his room during breaks or at the end of a long night, it is important to have room service available where he can order a meal and enjoy at the comfort and convenience of his room.
Conference Facilities
This is also a very important essential for the business traveler. A conference facility, meeting rooms, business center where faxing, printing, photocopying are all available, as well as projector and a white board are all part of what the business traveler needs on their trip.
Airport Pick Up and Drop Off
Most times business travelers are not very familiar with the city they are visiting. A hotel that picks up guests from the airport can come in very handy. Sure there is Uber and other ride sharing apps, but if booking your hotel gets me a free airport pick up, why not? Certainly edges you over the competition.
Lounge
Business travelers also need to relax and unwind. A lounge with different types of drinks, an efficient bar man, cool music and ambiance as well as any other form of entertainment like live bands and karaoke would win over the business traveler any time any day.

How do you know which hotel can provide all of this for you? When you book on hotel booking portals like Jumia Travel, you can filter the hotels you want by price, region and by facilities as well. This would ensure that you have exactly what you are looking for when booking your hotel for your business travel.
