4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Lagos

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Lagos is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a comprehensive exploration of the city’s significant landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful beaches, scenic marinas, historic monuments, and engaging tours, all while taking advantage of the budget-friendly options available for dining and relaxation. With the right planning, travellers can experience the richness of Lagos without overspending, as prices may drop during these months, making it a great value for money getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover enticing last-minute deals for hotels in Lagos, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates as your travel date approaches. It’s wise to enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute offers, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. The Smart Shopping feature, accessible via the app, allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so if prices drop or new rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making your last-minute getaway more affordable.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could enable you to save on your stay in a hotel in Lagos. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and, at times, better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price leans towards the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, with Lagos's excellent public transport options, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
