“Average service at Maison”

The service i experienced was less than expected. The room was smaller than expected, and the room services was not of optimum standard.

“Decent stay despite an hiccup”

First stay: Despite being a regular at Clear Essence hotel in Ikoyi (strongly recommended), I was looking for something in the Victoria Island axis off the mainland.

First stay: Despite being a regular at Clear Essence hotel in Ikoyi (strongly recommended), I was looking for something in the Victoria Island axis off the mainland. Booked a few weeks ahead via agoda (with a note left for a preference for a high-floored room). The check-in process was quite standard and smooth with someone on hand ready to help get bags up into the room. I was initially helped with my bags into room 101 but upon entering the room, I received a call from the front desk acknowledging the booking note about wanting a high floor room. I thought this to have been quite thoughtful and was moved to room 301. The standard room in itself is quite spacious: a queen size bed, a walk-in closet, a tv, a reading desk, and a pretty spacious bathroom. With the exception of a few blown out bulbs and some unclear TV channels, the room appeared clean and in order. Front desk: Front desk appears to always be attended to. Credit to Abiodun, Charles and Blessing who were always on hand to help round the clock. Cleaning: Cleaning is provided daily with bottles of water replaced. A bottle of water is usually put on the bathroom sink — signalling to use this instead of tap water. There is a door card in the room to indicate a desire to either have the room cleaned or not. Breakfast: With breakfast set from 6:00 to 11:00, I was usually down at 10 for breakfast — trying to catch the last hour. The breakfast is quite adequate with a range of continental options, some indigenous ones like yam, stewed eggs and fruits. Breakfast costs 6000NGN. Restaurant seemingly runs round the clock. Power: Power is relatively constant with the infrequent interruption which do not last longer than a couple of minutes when it does occur. Wifi: Wifi is quite decent and only interrupted when power supply is lost (for about a couple minute upon restart). Other amenities: With the reception and restaurant on the ground floor, the other 3 floors are dedicated to rooms with the rooftop as a lounge on the fourth floor. All floors are serviced by one public-access elevator- not clear” The lounge gets quite busy in the evening especially on weekends. Never had too much of an issue with noise even on the 3rd floor. Parking space is a bit tight inside the gates but fairly managed with the security men willing to keep the car keys to re-park or re-shuffle as needed. The security men also provide a relatively good service of an inside-out hand-clean of vehicles for NGN1500, if needed/requested. Although there is no gym / fitness centre, there is an outdoor pool - providing a nice place to relax, socialize and have a drink or two. The only gripe with my stay came from the bathroom. The bathroom layout (which is not uncommon in Nigeria) has the whole room tiled up with a shower- head and drain on one end as well as the toilet and an adjacent sink on the other. Downside, there was a stench comes from the bath drain which became stronger as the hours went by. Tried to cope with it by having maintenance come in twice a day to bleach down and pour what appeared to be chlorine down the drain. Although this “treatment” stung the eye right after for a few minutes, it provided some relief for a few hours. To be fair, the issue appears structural along the rooms ending in x01 (got a whiff of the same stench in my few minutes in room 101 upon check-in but in room 301, it appeared to have been much stronger). After 3 nights of these treatments to the drain, I requested a room change which I must admit was disappointing as I would have expected the initiative to change rooms have been taken by the staff. I ran into Mr. Chris (the manager on site) during breakfast who was quite apologetic about the situation and promised to have me moved for my final night. I got moved to another standard room 304 for my final night which didn’t have the stench as much. Redeemed by the final night in room 304 — encouraged me to go ahead and book my second stay of 4 nights for the following week. The second 4-night stay, the following week, in room 204 was largely uneventful in a good way. I would recommend the hotel at a good price value. Recommendation: Go straight to the bathroom, mask off and take a deep breath in before unpacking & settling in. Rooms ending in 04 have a dedicated router in the room. Give the bazaar rice from the restaurant a try.
