The Owu Crown Hotel is a diamond in the rough, and I loved my stay there. It's not a luxury hotel by western standards, but the service is absolutely wonderful. I have stayed at this hotel twice, and highly recommend it to anyone traveling in the Ibadan area.
There are a few things that could be improved: hot water in the showers is a luxury, and the towels look like they've seen better days.
On the plus side, however, is the service. I have stayed at many, many hotels across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the US. I've stayed in budget motels and very fancy hotels. I can honestly say that the service at the Owu Crown is the best I've ever had. The staff is friendly, and truly want to make your stay the best it can possibly be. Stay there a few days, and they'll know your name and come around to your room to make sure that everything is going well.
Need a quick ride to the ATM? They'll take care of you. Need your luggage weighed? Three bellhops went out of their way to bring me to their private weigh station. Want a beer at 2am? They've got you covered.
If you travel to Ibadan, check out the Owu Crown. It's not luxurious. Instead, it's like coming home.
