I had an excellent stay at The Wheatbaker. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with spotless bathroomswhich is always a must for me. Breakfast was lovely, offering a good selection of fruits, continental options, and African-style dishes. I especially appreciated being able to order fresh coffee in the mornings. The restaurant food was so good that I often chose to dine in the hotel most evenings. Room service is available 24 hours, and the bar is fantastic with creative cocktails and a great wine list. The location is convenient and in a nice, walkable neighborhood, making it easy to get around. Most of all, the staff were exceptional—friendly, respectful, and genuinely welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable.

The service was top notch. The food was very good as well and centrally located. It didn’t feel too big that you get lost in the system and not too small either. It just felt cozy and spacious at the same time.

Avoid unless you like uncleaniness

Unfortunately there is a construction ongoing which means there is no pool, no gym and no spa. The hotel is tired and needs a refresh of all of its rooms. My room had a broken and beaten up fridge, marks everywhere, not clean. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. Cleaning is very superficial. The breakfast is some of the worst I have experienced in Nigeria. The only thing is that the price reflects the quality which is the only saving grace

Nice ambience, cozy, clean and delicious food!!!

Hotel staff were hiding the promo reduced rates for Christmas and it caused an issue before they finally accepted to show me the real promo prices! Wondering if they are keeping the extras for themselves....

We stayed here for the first time in 2019 and was absolutely impressed by its location, service, appearance and amenities. We decided to stay here again based on prior stay. We were so disappointed to see that while services and amenities had been maintained, there had been no maintenance. There were signs of wear and tear in the bathroom that needed regrouting, the walls that need repainting and carpeting that needs changing. Other than that, which I know is very picky, the staff was absolutely amazing. The breakfast buffet every morning was not to be missed! And the location and security can’t be better!

Just don’t. Save your money.

Worst customer service at a front desk ever. That were very rude. Yelled at me when they were at fault and didn’t offer any solutions. The rooms do not match the web descriptions. We were moved to a lower rate room because they overbooked. The next day we were moved to the room I actually booked and they said it was a courtesy upgrade. The next day moved back to the lower room. It was crazy to say the least— considering I was there for a family function and they kept calling us to switch rooms at checkout time. On top of that, the bathrooms smell like sewage water and the sink water had an odor as well. The property is beat up and needs a massive renovation. This is not a luxury property and the star rating isn’t accurate. It’s a 2.5 star at best. On a positive note, the kitchen breakfast staff was very nice and made sure our experience every morning was great.

Wheatbaker is a nice, thoughtful hotel. The room I stayed was clean and I was quite satisfied with the room However, the hotel is currently undergoing renovations and so there was no access to the pool or gym. The front desk seems to have been moved to accommodate the reno going on. Overall excellent time was had during my stay. I will be back for sure and highly recommend.

Unfortunately the Wheatbaker is not what it was!

Unfortunately the Wheatbaker is not what it was! I was not notified beforehand of extensive renovations which have closed the gym, pool, spa and a dining room plus much of the reception area. The attention to detail in the service has gone and the rooms are now tired. The communal areas had the a/c turned off and I was told this was because the staff were too cold! Never mind the guests!
