Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Presken Hotel & Suites (Mojidi) Lagos

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the swirling oasis that is Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Presken Hotel & Suites (Mojidi) Lagos! And let me tell you, my expectations… well, they were high. Lagos, Nigeria, can be a whirlwind. You need an escape. You deserve an escape. So, let's see if Presken delivers on the "unbelievable" promise, eh?

First Impressions: The Arrival & Accessibility… A Mixed Bag (and Why That's Okay!)

Finding the place? Let's just say Google Maps became my best friend. Lagos traffic is a beast, so factor that in. Now, accessibility, the elephant in the room. While they do list "Facilities for disabled guests," and the elevator is a definite plus, the true accessibility is… well, I'd need a more thorough investigation. Ramp access and bathroom specifics weren't immediately apparent, so if that's a critical factor, call ahead and ask specific questions. Don't just take my word for it. I'm just a gal with a keyboard, not a mobility expert! Let’s be real. This is Lagos; sometimes perfection is an ideal, not a reality.

But hey, once I was inside, the 24-hour doorman and security guards were a comforting presence. Felt safe, and that matters. Kudos to the team there. Also, the check-in/out (express) I’d say was pretty good. Quick, efficient, and a nice welcome drink? Yes, please.

The Room: Paradise Found (Mostly!)

Okay, the room. This is where things really started to get interesting.

Air conditioning: Mandatory in Lagos – and it worked like a champ!
Free Wi-Fi: HUGE plus! And yes, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! (and I needed it to post my envious Instagram stories, obviously). The Internet access – LAN option is also available, which is an added bonus for the more tech-savvy guests.
Air conditioning Oh, and the soundproofing was surprisingly effective. Lagos is loud. So, bless.
The bed. Oh, the bed. An extra-long bed… and the comfort level was ridiculous. I swear, I nearly melted into the mattress.
Bathroom: Clean, with a separate shower and bathtub. Bathrobes? Check. Slippers? Check. Toiletries?? Check. And the view… well, it depends on the room, but I saw some gorgeous views.
The little things: Coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, mini bar… all the essentials for a little unwinding. Really, it ticks the boxes.
The Quirks However, a minor complaint: the mood lighting seemed to be working against me sometimes. I wanted "romantic glow" – I ended up with "subtle sci-fi movie." Maybe I am just weird.

Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (with a Few Hiccups)

Alright, food time! This is where things weren’t always perfect, but the overall experience shined:

The restaurant: I had a wonderful meal at their international cuisine restaurant. The service was attentive and the food was actually delicious. I was so happy, the waiter could see my euphoria.
Breakfast (buffet): A decent spread, but definitely not the unbelievable experience. There were local options, western staples, and, thankfully, coffee/tea in restaurant readily available.
Room service (24-hour): This is a huge win! Particularly for those late-night snack cravings.
Poolside bar: Perfect for a quick drink and that sweet sweet Lagos sun. They even had happy hour, which is an essential.
Snack bar: A small but good selection for a small snack.
Alternative meal arrangement The kitchen were very accommodating.
Vegetarian restaurant The vegetarian options were available.

Things To Do & Ways To Relax: Spa Bliss (and a Glimpse of Fitness!)

Swimming pool (outdoor): A lovely setting! I loved the pool with view!
Spa: The spa? A MUST. I opted for a massage, and… heaven. Seriously, book a treatment, you deserve it. The spa/sauna was pretty good, but I didn’t get to try the steamroom.
Fitness center: They had a gym. I glanced at it. Maybe next time. I was too busy relaxing.

Cleanliness & Safety: Prioritizing Peace of Mind

This is a big one, especially these days.

Daily disinfection in common areas.
Rooms sanitized between stays.
Staff trained in safety protocol.
Hand sanitiser
Physical distancing of at least 1 meter.
Hand sanitiser

This really felt like it was taken pretty seriously. First aid kits, doctor/nurse on call. Smoke alarms and fire extinguishers… it's all there. They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. I felt very safe .

Services & Conveniences: Making Life Easier (and Even More Luxurious)

Concierge: Super helpful. They helped with arranging transportation.
Laundry service/Dry cleaning/Ironing service: Super grateful I found this.
Currency exchange: Super helpful!
Cash withdrawal.
Gift/souvenir shop: Useful!
Hotel offers Food delivery

For The Kids & Business Needs

They have babysitting service and are family/child friendly.
Business facilities available. They even had Audio-visual equipment for special events.
Meetings, Meeting/banquet facilities.
Wi-Fi for special events.
Projector/LED display: I was impressed. All the bases are covered.

Getting Around:

Airport transfer: They have this, so it's very easy.
Car park [free of charge], plus taxi service.

Look, Presken Hotel & Suites (Mojidi) Lagos has its rough edges, but that's part of its charm and part of the reality of Lagos. It's not always flawless, there are slight imperfections. But the good far outweighs the bad. The rooms are lovely, the staff is attentive, the spa is a dream, and they clearly care about safety.

Presken Hotel and Suites (Mojidi) Lagos Nigeria

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get a glimpse into my potential disaster – I mean, authentic – stay at Presken Hotel and Suites in Mojidi, Lagos. This ain't your sterile, Instagram-perfect itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL.

Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation… and the Quest for Air Con

Morning (Or What Passes for It in Lagos): So, I'm arriving at Murtala Muhammed (MM) Airport. Let's be real, the air conditioning is already failing me before I even step into the building. After navigating the chaos and hopefully, the 'helpers' (ahem, let's just say, be prepared to haggle for your sanity), I eventually find the pre-booked taxi. Hope the driver actually knows where Mojidi is. This is Lagos; anything could happen!
Mid-Morning to Early Afternoon (Presken Check-In and the Room of Dreams): The taxi finally (fingers crossed) pulls up to Presken. Now, the check-in process. They say it's efficient, but let's be real, Lagos time is a whole different beast. Hopefully, the receptionists are having a good day and not dealing with twenty other people just as eager as I am to get to their rooms!
- Room Recon: Okay, let's talk about the room. The pictures online were, shall we say, optimistic. The real test lies in the air conditioning. If it's blowing a gentle breeze of recycled air, I'm gonna start sweating. If it's actually functional, I might even consider writing a love letter to the engineer.
- The View (or Lack Thereof): What kind of view are we talking about from the windows? Is it a bustling street scene, or a view of a wall? Let's say the view will influence my mood for the day.
Afternoon (The Hunger Games: Lunch Edition): Okay, hunger has officially set in. This is where things can get tricky. Do I brave the hotel restaurant – which could be amazing, or could involve a multi-hour wait and questionable ingredients? Or do I venture out into the glorious chaos of Mojidi in search of street food? Shawarma sounds tempting, if my stomach can take it.
- First Impressions of Mojidi: First impressions are super important, what exactly do I expect from the area around the hotel, and how it differs from the photos I was shown.
Evening (Sunset and the Search for Entertainment): Okay, the sun is setting, and I have survived my first few hours. Time to seek some fun, or at least something to do. The hotel might host karaoke or something, which can either be a blast or a cringe-fest. Or I could try to go out, maybe find a local bar, or somewhere fun, and let the chaos wash over me.

Day 2: Culture Shock, Culinary Adventures, and Maybe a Little Panic

Morning (Breakfast and a Deep Dive into the Chaos): Breakfast at the hotel. See how the food differs from what I was used to. Will I develop stomach problems? Maybe start today with a full tank.
Mid-Morning to Afternoon (Exploring Lagos (or Attempting To)): Okay, time to be a tourist. First, a quick chat with the front desk. I need advice on how to navigate the city, what's safe, and what's absolutely NOT safe. I need to prepare for the madness that is Lagos traffic.
- Destination of Choice (Let's Say Ikoyi): Okay, let's say I'm heading to the upscale area of Ikoyi. Hopefully, I survive the ride.
- The Ikoyi Experience: What is it actually like there? Are the restaurants nice? What do the people there look like?
Afternoon (The Foodie Fight Club: A Street Food Odyssey): Alright, it is time to eat. I must eat. This is where the real adventure begins. I'm talking about finding the best street food. The jollof rice must be tasted, the suya must be devoured.
Evening (Nightcap and a Reflection on Survival): Back at the hotel. I'm probably covered in sweat, street food grease, and the lingering smell of Lagos. But that's okay! I've survived another day. A nightcap is needed. Hopefully, the hotel bar is serving something strong because I'm going to need it. The emotions of the day will have to be processed.

Day 3: Farewell, Flights, and Forever Changed

Morning (The Slow Wake-Up): This is the morning where it really hits that I leave. The morning where you can breathe, and relax because you almost made it.
Mid-Morning (Last-Minute Shopping, or, Let's Be Real, Panic): Any little gifts for the relatives, any friends I had to bring something back for? I have to go out, now!
Afternoon (The Last Meal and the Airport Hustle): This will be my last meal at the hotel, or at least, in Mojidi. Hopefully, it's not a disaster. Then comes the airport. Hope I'm early. Hopefully, I’m not late.
Evening (Reflecting on Chaos): Here I’m at the airport, ready to leave.

Final Thoughts:

This is the beauty of Lagos and the Presken Hotel experience. It's not about perfection; it's about embracing the chaos, the questionable air conditioning, the unexpected food, the friendly (and sometimes not-so-friendly) faces. It's about being present. And for me, that's what makes a trip truly unforgettable. This will be the best or worst experience of my life.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits? Presken Hotel & Suites (Mojidi), Lagos - Let's Dive In (with some messy truth!)

Is Presken really as "unbelievable" as they claim? Because, Lagos, right?

Okay, let's be real. "Unbelievable" is a big word. *Especially* in Lagos. I went in expecting... well, Lagos expectations! You know, the power could go out, the WiFi might be a fib, and the traffic? Forget about it. Presken? It's... surprisingly decent. For Lagos, it *is* a cut above. Think clean(ish) sheets, AC that *mostly* works, and a breakfast buffet that doesn't look like it's been sitting out since the last millennium. But "unbelievable"? Hold your horses. It's more like "surprisingly pleasant, given the location". Expect to temper your expectations accordingly! And bring a portable charger, just in case. You have been warned.

What's the vibe? Is it all polished perfection or a bit... real?

The vibe is a fascinating mix. They *clearly* try for luxury. Gleaming floors, a lobby that attempts a “wow factor”... but… Lagos. You can *feel* the effort. It's a bit like a beautifully dressed person who's missing a shoe. There's this underlying, almost frantic, attempt to be super-fancy. Staff are generally friendly, though sometimes the execution is a little… off. There was this one time, I asked for a late check-out, which they promised I could have. Then, at the *exact* check-out time, some poor soul from housekeeping was banging on my door! Bless her heart, she just looked confused when I reminded her of, what the hotel staff said... so I'd suggest confirming EVERYTHING multiple times. And maybe keep the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on, even if you aren't disturbing anyone. Just to be safe.

The rooms – are they worth the price? (Because, again, Lagos!)

Ah, the rooms. Here's the deal. They're *nice*. Honestly, they are. Spacious-ish, the bathrooms are relatively clean, and the Wi-Fi, blessedly, usually works (ish). My personal experience was generally great. The decor is… well, it's a hotel room, you know? Functional. Comfortable enough, and you can actually walk around without tripping over things. The AC is a lifesaver. The bed was comfy. However, and it’s a big however… sometimes the water pressure dips, and sometimes the hot water vanishes. It's Lagos. It's part of the charm, right? (Said with a weary smile). So, "worth the price"? Depends on your budget and your Lagos tolerance. If you're used to the real Lagos experience, then yes. If you're expecting Four Seasons, you might need to brace yourself.

Let's talk the food. Because, food is life, right? Any good eats at Presken?

Okay, the food. This is where things get... interesting. Breakfast is included, which is always a bonus. It's a buffet, and as for the quality it’s dependable for what it is. There's usually an omelet station, some local options (jollof rice! *sometimes*), cereal and pastries. It’s fine. Edible. Filling. Don't go expecting Michelin-star quality, but it *will* get you going. The other meals? Well, I'm only going to say it's fine. There are options however I'd recommend exploring the local food scene. Plenty of great restaurants nearby. Presken's food is convenient, but for a memorable culinary experience? Venture out. Honestly, I had the most incredible suya from a roadside vendor not too far away, the best. Not saying the hotel's food is *bad*. but... prioritize exploring, or bring your own snacks! Trust me.

What about the location? Is Mojidi a good spot?

Mojidi is… well, it's in Lagos. That means... traffic. Lots and lots of traffic. Think of it as a constant, low-level background noise of horns and frustration. The hotel is relatively well-placed for certain things. It's not in the *worst* part of town, but getting anywhere during rush hour is a nightmare. Be prepared to factor in *hours* for travel, even for short distances. However it's still a nice area, and there's a good chance you'll be near something interesting. Just plan your trips strategically, and maybe book a car service (and a strong cup of coffee) for your sanity. Honestly, I spent more time in traffic than I care to admit. Pack patience. Lots of it. And maybe download some podcasts.

The little details. Are there any amenities/perks that are actually worth it?

Okay, the details. They have a gym, which I didn’t use (because, honestly, after surviving Lagos traffic, I felt like I'd run a marathon). They *claim* to have a spa, but I didn't see it. The pool is… small. And often crowded. So for me personally all of that was a pass, unfortunately. Parking is available, and essential. The best perk? (And this is a genuine compliment) the staff. For the most part, they *try*. They are friendly and helpful, even when things go wrong. That goes a long way. They're dealing with the realities of Lagos, just like everyone else, and their attempts at a good demeanor made a difference in my experience.

Final Thoughts: Would you go back? And what's the one thing you'd change?

Would I go back? Possibly. If I needed to be in that area, and the price was right, sure. It's not a bad option, given the Lagos landscape. The one thing I'd change? A better traffic-reducing machine. (That exists). Okay, in all seriousness, they could seriously improve the internet. It was a real pain. If they fixed the Wi-Fi, upped the water pressure consistently, and lowered the prices slightly, I'd be singing their praises! It's not perfect, but it's got potential. Just go in with realistic expectations, a sense of humor, and your own backup plan (for power, water, and internet).
