Best Hotels in Lagos by 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. So important is the mechanism of guest reviews that we recently award hotels with the Jumia Travel Customer’s Selection Award 2017, in recognition of hotels with excellent ratings from our guests.

5 Things Business Travelers want 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.

Why Business Travel in Nigeria Can be Stressful and How to Make it Easier

If you are a working professional, at some point you would have to travel for one form of business or the other. Either as the sole proprietor, or a co-founder in your business or as an employee in an organization, you would have had to go engage in one meeting, conference, negotiation or the other for business. Seeing as you are traveling out of base, two immediate challenges often arise. Transportation and accommodation. Wherever you need to go on your business trip, your needs would most likely range from guest houses in Calabar to Hotels in Victoria Island to Hotels in Maitama Abuja as well as flight to your destination and perhaps an idea of things to do in the city you are visiting.

For employees of organizations, the modus operandi is different. Some companies would ask you to bear the expenses, present the receipts and Finance department will reimburse you. Others will make arrangements for your travel itinerary from start to finish.

Whatever the case, there can be the challenge of delayed flights, unavailability of rooms, hotels not having amenities you need while on your trip such as internet or a business center, hotels not being in the same vicinity of the venue or location for your business meeting.

Many of all these challenges can actually be solved by simply booking your hotel online with a reputable online booking platform.

When you book hotels online you eliminate many of the hassles of your business travel.

For example, hotels can arrange to pick you up from the airport when you arrive as well as take you to the airport for your departure.

When you book hotels online you also confirm the availability of the rooms before time, and ensure that you have the room reserved for you regardless of delayed check in arising from late flight take offs.

One of the things that inspired me to write this article is going home one day and seeing a long queue of cars making their way into the Sheraton Lagos premises. I couldn’t help but imagine the frustration of someone who had not booked online and gets to the front desk and realizes that the rooms are all sold out.

When you book hotels online you can also filter for hotels that has the amenities and facilities you would need on your business trip. If you need meeting rooms, internet, printers or anything else you can filter in your search online or simply speak to a customer care agent who would go through the process and give you suitable options based on the criteria you provided.

Another problem people have is they usually want to keep the money for booking hotels to themselves, and crash on the couch of an old friend, or sleep on the bench of a church. It is important to be about your wits when on a business trip. And you need the most amount of relaxation possible at this time. So ruggeding it to keep a few thousand bucks to yourself. 

Corporate bookings are also a great way to save yourself the hassle of business travel. Get your company to get corporate flight and hotel booking rates that ensure that you get the best rates possible as well as ensure everyone on the team is properly taking care of.
