You find places you go to in Lagos, and immediately you get out of the normal city pace, and Victoria Waterfront Hotel and Resort is one such place.
This hotel is in a prime location in the upmarket Victoria Island, offering a combination of comfort, relaxation, and a sense of escape, while still being in the city. The first time I visited here, the initial impression I had was of serenity. The hum of Lagos life is still audible; however, it is softer now, almost as though the water absorbs the noise.
Whether you seek a spot to stay on a staycation, business trip, events, or simply a chilled lunch by the water, this place will deliver in a manner that comes across as practical and refreshing
Location & First Impressions
The hotel is also located directly on the waterfront, which provides it with a picturesque, serene advantage. This is unlike some of the busy hotels in Lagos, where one may feel congested.
Upon entering, you will see:
Clean surroundings
Safe access (of importance in Lagos)
A serene, near resort-like design.
And when you enter, the mood changes indoors. It is not about opulence in a boastful manner but rather comfort and space.
Accommodation: What Staying Here Feels Like
The rooms are plain but homely, and, truth to tell, that is the charm.
What to Expect:
Air-conditioned rooms
Cozy beds (really essential after the Lagos traffic )
Clean bathrooms with modern fittings
A few rooms have a view of the water.
The view of the water is likely to be one of the best aspects as one wakes up. It gives you that “vacation” feeling even if you’re just there for work.

Standard room: ₦40,000 – ₦70,000
Executive rooms: ₦70,000 – ₦120,000

The prices vary with the season and availability, though generally, they are mid-range as compared to the other hotels in Victoria Island.

Have a more leisurely, sort of vacation-like meal.

And dining on the water is an experience. It is calm, cool, and ideal for relaxing.

I have been here a little, and I understand that it is not the luxury that is so special here but the balance.
You get:
A quiet environment

Halfway decent food and service.
And it all unites in a manner that is not unnatural.
The Experience (Honest Thoughts)
If I had to sum up Victoria Waterfront Hotel in one sentence, I would say:

You can:
Stay overnight
Host a training

Relax by the pool
And all things fair. works.
Conclusion
