Alright.. I’m gonna be straight with y’all here. I wasn’t expecting much when I started looking into hotels in Abeokuta, at first. I mean.. It’s not Lagos, right? But honestly? I was wrong. Like, wrong.
So here’s the thing – you’re probably going to Abeokuta for Olumo Rock (obviously), maybe some business stuff, or you’re one of those people who appreciate history and culture. Whatever. The point is, you need somewhere decent to crash that won’t make you question your life choices.

Best Hotels In Abeokuta
Staying in too many questionable places over the years has taught me that good sleep is non-negotiable. Clean sheets, working AC, and wifi that doesn’t make you want to throw your phone out the window, is that too much to ask?
1. Conference Hotel Abeokuta
This place is okay and pretty extra. But in a good way? Like, the kind of extra where you walk in and immediately feel underdressed, but then you remember you’re paying for this, so whatever.
The outdoor pool is open year-round, which is clutch because Nigerian heat doesn’t joke around. There’s a hot tub too – and before you ask, yes, it works. I’ve been to places where the hot tub is basically a very expensive cold bath, so this was a pleasant surprise.
Oh, and they have a nightclub. Inside the hotel. Which is either amazing or terrible, depending on what floor your room is on. Just saying. But here’s what got me – the rooms are soundproofed. You can sleep without hearing your neighbor’s entire life story through the walls. Revolutionary concept, I know.
The food situation is solid, too. Multiple restaurants, room service that doesn’t take three hours, and they’ll actually accommodate dietary restrictions without making you feel like you’re asking them to perform surgery.
Only downside? It’s not cheap. But honestly, if you’re looking to treat yourself or you’re on a business trip where someone else is paying, go for it.
Location: 1, Golf Rd, IBB boulevard, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Ogun
Room price: from 120,000
2. Camas Hotel and Suite Abeokuta
This one surprised me. Like, surprised me. I was expecting mid-tier mediocrity, but Camas has its act together.
The mountain and garden views are legit peaceful – not just some sad patch of grass they’re calling a garden. And the balconies? Worth sitting on. I spent way too much time out there with my morning coffee, just watching the city wake up.
The rooms are clean (I checked behind the toilet and everything – don’t judge me), and the AC works without sounding like a dying helicopter– plus, some of the suites have kitchenettes, which is perfect if you’re staying longer or you get tired of restaurant food easily.
The staff here are genuinely nice. Not fake-nice, but helpful. The swimming pool’s decent, fitness center has equipment that isn’t held together with duct tape, and the restaurant food is good.
Price-wise? It’s reasonable. You won’t need to sell a kidney reasonably.
Location: block VI, plot 24 & 25, Goshen Estate, Asero, Abeokuta, Ogun
Room price: 35,000
3. IBD International Hotels Abeokuta
Right in the heart of everything, which is both good and… well, loud sometimes. But if you want to be walking distance from the action, this is your spot.
The reception area is pretty sleek – they spent some money on the design. And the rooms? Nice. The beds are actually comfortable, and the bathrooms are clean with good water pressure. Revolutionary. The spa is okay, I was skeptical. But I tried it. And it was relaxing. The massage therapist knew what she was doing, and I didn’t feel like I was being tortured, which has happened before.
Business facilities are solid if you’re here for work. The conference rooms have working projectors and everything.
The restaurant does both local and international food, and they don’t mess it up. The jollof rice is so good(tastes like confirm party jollof), and the continental breakfast doesn’t taste like cardboard. Location is well, perfect for exploring, but bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. City center means city noise.
Location: 5, Sam Ewang junction, M.K.O. Abiola Way, Abeokuta, Ogun
Room price: from 60,500
4. Celia’s Suites
This place is… cozy. Like, genuinely cozy. Not ‘we’re calling it cozy because it’s small’ cozy.
The rooms feel like mini apartments, which is perfect if you’re staying for a while or you just like having space to spread out. The furniture is nice, not that cheap stuff that falls apart if you look at it wrong. But here’s the real win – it’s QUIET. Soundproof walls that work, just imagine total peace, in a way that makes you realize how much noise you usually deal with.
The fitness center is small but functional for you to build that killer look. The equipment works, it’s clean, and there’s enough space that you’re not bumping into other people. Food’s good – nothing fancy, but solid. You want to unwind like a true king or queen without feeling like you’re in a crowded club, the bar is a very nice spot.
My opinion is– Celia’s Suites is best for different types of visitors, especially if you’re a solo traveler yearning for peace and quiet or couples who want to talk to each other without shouting over background noise.
Location: 1, Woke Soyinka Rd, Ibara GRA, Abeokuta, Ogun
Room price: from 40,500
5. Richton Hotel And Suites Abeokuta
To be honest, I had low expectations here. Budget-friendly usually means ‘prepare for disappointment.’ But Richton actually delivers.
The rooms are clean and spacious, plus, they don’t smell weird. The AC works, the same goes for the TV and its channels, and the bathroom has hot water. These shouldn’t be remarkable features, but here we are. The restaurant food is surprisingly good. I legit went back for seconds. The continental breakfast is basic but fresh, and the local dishes are legit.
Staff are friendly without being fake about it. When I needed help with directions, they gave me useful information instead of vague hand gestures. Free parking is clutch if you’re driving, and the wifi works throughout the hotel. Not just in the lobby like some places.
For the price? It’s a steal. Like, genuinely good value for money.
Location: 62/64 Edun Adila Street, Ibara Housing Estate, Abeokuta, Ogun
Room price: 20,000
Conclusion
I’m not going to lie and say Abeokuta has the best hotels in Nigeria. But these five? They’re solid. Really solid.
Each one has its own thing going for it – Conference Hotel if you want to be pampered, Camas for the best overall value, IBD for location and business stuff, Celia’s for peace, and Richton for budget-conscious travelers who still want dignity. The hospitality scene in Abeokuta is actually getting better. Like, noticeably better. It’s not just about having a place to sleep anymore – these places care about the experience.
When next you’re heading to Abeokuta, don’t just pick the first place you find online. Any of these five will treat you right. Your back will thank you, your wallet won’t hate you, and you might enjoy your stay.
Just maybe book in advance. Good hotels fill up fast, and you don’t want to end up somewhere that makes you question your life choices. Trust me on this one.
