This hotel, on Tripadvisor, has got so far only good reviews. Let us first clear any suspicion of cheating. Most reviews showed good and sincere-looking reasons for the enthusiasm. In this human-sized hotel in the middle of Lagos, a certain idea of design can strike at first. There has been some hard thinking from the start. Lightning is ensured in small corners everywhere, convenient to have private conversations. Bookshelves dominate the reception areas, and the books are chosen for good reasons. The works of Andersen (of 'Ugly Duckling' fame) and Kierkegaard (a Danish theologian and philosopher, into Christian love and single indivudals, for short) are well represented. There are also both a Kierkegaard and an Andersen suites, for good measure. Effectively, 'we design [underlined] to inspire' is the motto. Power cuts (we understand that, in Lagos, these are not uncommon) are dealt with by an automatic switch to a secondary system, ensuring that connections do not get lost or other inconveniences. As for cleanliness, we can put top marks again. Although the name of Mrs F****R comes up regularly in good reviews about the staff, we saw everybody equally engaged and engaging. A few challenges with organisation in the restaurant, though, sometimes result in longer-than-expected waiting times. For what it is worth, here is how the secret formula works: Scandinavian humanism, hard and thorough initial thinking about designing a classy-rather-than-lavish hotel, followed by professional and competent management, and here you have the Nordic hotel Lagos. Needless to write, a visit is a must.
