We have just returned from a week at the magnolia mar on self catering basis.The hotel is not a 4 star hotel. The apartments are basic and all have single beds no double bedded rooms available. The apartment facilities are minimum ie utensils, pans,cups , plates etc room sleeps 3 so you receive 3 of everything if you are lucky.... more

My daughter and I had an interesting stay at this hotel. We were taken to this hotel as ours was "overbooked". A well positioned hotel just a stones throw from the beach and lovely sea views. The taxi into the centre of Lagos cost 4 euros and the town was very interesting with plenty of shops. However, it is right... more

4 stars hotel... yes, but in 2001 :) now it is far away from 4 stars level. Rooms with lot of space, AC worked very well (in my room), small kitchen with fridge. Bathroom also should be renewed... Balkony (huge) with small table and chairs... construction site on the opposite side covered all with yellow dust. Breakfast the same for... more

Total lack of maintenance in evidence. Air conditioning did not work in any part of the Hotel and no remedy forthcoming. This was rated as a 4 star hotel. Gym = room with carpet, mirror & weights & nothing else. Gas boiler for hot water - no instructions available on how to light, and evidence of carbon deposits on the... more

we only spent one night in one of the apt. rooms. it was clean but the air conditioner did not work. when we called the front desk to ask if they had fans, they stated didn't need them as we had air conditioners! (I said when they work!) couldn't have a repairman out till the next day- we were checking... more

The rooms were ill equipped, not very clean and beds only changed twice a week. Made up for you twice a week, Food was very limited and boring - no choice menu, same every night. The location was good, very near a lovely beach and Antonias restaurant on the beach was very good. Lagos is also a pretty and interesting... more

Good position, very quiet & not too far from Lagos, we went at the end of the season, had an apartment, not many occupied so probably if they were busy it would be quite noisey.Very clean, beds changed four times in 2 weeks & towels every other day, apartment cleaned every 2 days. Very basic facilities ie no iron &... more

Just got back from a 10 night stay and whilst the location was pretty good, we were disappointed with the room and the cleaning. We had a self catering studio but no mod cons here - e.g. iron, kettle, toaster etc which we've come to expect. The bathroom could do with a refub too - cracked tiles, rust spots in... more

We stayed here in the self-catering apartments at the end of March 2006, and I would defintely recommend this option for a budget break. The apartments were a great size, very clean and we had excellent balconies with super sea views. The location is great, about 5 minutes by car from Lagos centre, and just a few minutes walk from... more
