I stayed here for the first time recently for a few days whilst on business. Check-in / check out was smooth and my room was very pleasant, well- appointed and maintained. Breakfast and dinner in the restaurant were both excellent ( the food aspect of room service less so) The decoration and ambience in the public areas is very good,... More

I have been using this Hotel since it opened. Service is good and attentive and Management take an active interest in the welfare of guests. Rooms are good with all the amenities you would expect from a top rated hotel. Breakfasts are very good and provide you with a great start to the day. Lovely and spacious

I have stayed at this hotel maybe 15 times in the last 3 years and always look forward to coming back. The staff and management are, without exception, warm, friendly and attentive, welcoming me back each time as though I have come home! The hotel is far more spacious than many hotels in Lagos and the large lobby area is... More

This hotel should be better frankly but seems to lacks strong management, despite being managed by the Sun International hotel group. Renovated and re-opened a few years ago, the rooms are already looking tired. Food is average at best and pretty awful at times. Room service one night took about 50 minutes. Like all hotels in Lagos, it is significantly... More

Stayed here recently on a short business trip to Lagos. The hotel is well located for the Victoria Island business district with easy access to most major corporate HQs. Also excellent proximity to Lagos nightlife, restaurants etc . Impressively decorated lobby area and a rather nice bar and lagoon front terrace. Which makes the tiny, rather average rooms a bit...

Dear Jane E Thank you for completing a review following your recent stay. We were most perturbed to read of your poor room service experience and the slow check in. We were able to trace one of the room service problems which you mentioned and regrettable we had encountered a service delivery problem at the time of your order. Please... More

This was my first trip to Lagos and after my airport experience and security escort, arrived here with a sense of dread. The architecture of the hotel is very old school, echoing its 1960 establishment and the former visions of pan-African glory - it was here that the country's declaration of independnece from Britain was signed. The grounds are pretty... More

Dear Dreddlox Thank you for posting a review after your recent stay at the Federal Palace Hotel & Casino. Your kind words are most appreciated and will most certainly be conveyed to all the staff.

I stayed in the Federal Palace for a few days on a business trip. Check-in was extremely slow, and they mixed up the rooms for myself and my colleague. They took her to the room that was under my name and vice versa. The lock on my door was broken and i requested to change it as soon as i... More

Stayed for 4 nights while in Lagos on business. The hotel is immaculate. Very clean and modern. The room was medium large with new bathroom and comfortable king bed. Only complaint was the difficulty finding outlets for my business electronics. Large comfortable lobby that was great for business meetings. A/C was strong...almost too much for locals. The bar was spacious... More

I enjoyed a recent weekend booked in at the Federal Palace. I found when staying at the Federal Place it is as if you are far away from the hectic city life you experience in Lagos . The picturesque gardens, lovely terrace and magnificant pool area and all this overlooking the Lagos Lagoon and Harbour. The service is good, the... More
