Hotels in Lagos — FAQ

Where is the best area to stay in Lagos?

Victoria Island ($150-500/night) is the top choice for visitors — upscale hotels, restaurants, and nightlife. Ikoyi ($120-400/night) is quieter and more exclusive. Lekki ($60-150/night) offers beaches and mid-range options. Ikeja ($25-60/night) is practical for airport proximity.

How much do hotels in Lagos cost?

Lagos hotel prices vary dramatically by area. Budget stays in Ikeja or Ajah start at $15-20/night. Mid-range hotels in Lekki average $60-150/night. Five-star hotels on Victoria Island (Eko Hotels, Radisson Blu) range from $200-600+/night.

Is Lagos safe for tourists?

Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Lekki are generally safe for visitors. Use Uber/Bolt for all transport, avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, and keep valuables discreet. Lagos Island markets are safe during the day but go with a local guide. The city is more hustling than dangerous.

When is the best time to visit Lagos?

November-March (dry season) for the best weather. December is peak season with Lagos's famous "Detty December" parties, concerts, and celebrations — incredible atmosphere but highest prices. For value, January-March offers dry weather at lower rates.

What is "Detty December" in Lagos?

Detty December is Lagos's massive end-of-year party season when the Nigerian diaspora returns home. The city erupts with concerts (Davido, Burna Boy, Wizkid), boat parties, and beach events. Hotels on Victoria Island sell out — book by September. It's Africa's biggest party season.

Can I book Lagos hotels with cryptocurrency?

Yes. Travorio accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 100+ other cryptocurrencies. Given Nigeria's complex forex situation, paying in crypto through Travorio gives you transparent USD pricing without Naira conversion uncertainties.

Emerging suburbs beyond Lekki with new-build apartment hotels and Airbnb-style stays at Lagos's lowest prices. Quieter but further from the action — traffic can add 1-2 hours to Victoria Island during rush hour.
