Wonderful
There was an initial issue retrieving our booking which was done just 1 month previously, and the manager was not expecting us at all and had no rooms gor us, but he resolved this issue promptly, finding us suitable accommodation. The staff were respectful and helpful. The apartment is in a secured gated estate, and location is in Lekki quite close to Victoria island and the famous Landmark beach. The only minus is the wifi which often disconnects and can be slow at times.

The internet did not work AT ALL, construction all around so it was noisy and the young man at the reception was rude and unprofessional.

The worst place in Lagos Nigeria to stay.
No hot water for 9 days, just a kettle and a bucket. Everyday one towel for two people. Doors that all stuck so you heard slamming all day and most of the night. The pool was never monitored and heaven only knows what bacteria lurked in it. Horrible lighting very dim and depressing. Finally got a table lamp but cord too short so not usable in living area. Everyone but manager worked as effectively as possible and were quite good and pleasant in doing their job. Manager was talk talk, no delivery. She actually came and took the lamp I finally had gotten so another tenant could use it. The one she gave me in exchange was in nasty dirty shape with stains and tears. Long term upkeep very poor. So much needs to be done. Shabby. We paid well using a US financial comparison. This experience would NEVER be acceptable in US. I had so many mosquito bites it was sickening. Thank God we were on Malaria medication. We should have checked out, obtained a refund and gone to Three Arms Hotel where we have stayed before and which is lovely. but we kept thinking it had to get better. It never did. It was basically a month for which we we paid nearly $3800.

Dear Madame, Thanks for your comments, We cherish your views when positive & EVEN MORE when negative. WOW. Firstly, I give you the strongest assurances that we are looking at understanding what happened, with a view to addressing it EFFECTIVELY. We care for our guests & want things to be perfect. Meanwhile the apartment has been taken off-line immediately, till we are sure issues are dealt with. - We would have been GLAD to REFUND your payment OR move you IMMEDIATELY to any hotel of your choice, OR to another apartment) had you just mentioned. Your happiness here or in Lagos is paramount to us. POOL & MOSQUITOS: - Assuredly Our pool is regularly treated, & well maintained & fumigated on schedule. - We are currently fully booked, & have just spoken with ALL other guests to check to see if they have similar OR any such issues, but they are fine. (Perhaps the mosquito bites are from time spent outside by the outdoor pool or on trips around lagos in the evenings, but this is why we close swimming by about 7pm & advise guests to retreat indoors but at their discretion). PROPERTY:- I'm honestly surprised about your experiences. We even just got a 4-Star review before your review, from a first time UK Guest who stated that everything was fine and worked well. - NEVERTHELESS Madame, My apologies again. LIGHTS:- Never had complaints about dimness or depressiveness before, all apartments have adequate lights, but following your comments, we've added EXTRA moveable lamps for guests who may need more light. - My regrets once more, most assuredly we must strive harder. PLEASE, let ANY hotels you use know whenever you want to leave due to unhappiness. ALL decently Managed Hotels will ensure that they help you to get a different place for your stay AND also issue refunds, like we would have done, had we known. For us, Its not just about the money you pay, its about YOUR experience and the pleasure of serving you right. So sorry about your stay issues, & my thanks for your detailed comments. Its tough to hear & bear, but I promise all points will be corrected shortly. We will continue to strive for our usual 4-5-star stays target.- Millennium Is a great place to stay and we do get it right for MOST guests and are happy to work with those whom we don't when things go wrong. Please accept our apologies. Best Regards as ever.

Great and Pleasant Place to stay... will recommend
I am not your typical reviewer. I only write a review when I am grossly unimpressed, but not the case at this instance. We stayed at this hotel and (as a seasoned hotel designer), I was impressed and (must say) surprised with the space management, attention to details, location and the general ambience of this hotel. The rooms are neat and everything works perfectly (except few improvement to the one of the one bedroom rooms). It feels homely, secured and close to shopping centers. Staff is great and welcoming. However, there are few cons and room for improvement. 1. The parking space needs to be looked into. 2. The management needs to access its relational etiquette to customer when a client is displeased or requires domestic assistance. Case in point is when I had a flat tire and whilst the company's driver was willing to assist the management does not find that important which a turn off was for me. But I must confess that the management reps redeemed herself from my initial perception -okay with me. 3. The cash deposit was almost a deal breaker for us. There should be a provision for credit card hold/deposit rather than cash only. And in the event of the client not having physical cash as was my case, a well thought out alternative approach should be considered. Overall, I was so impressed and I have decided to visit this place again and where applicable lodge our visiting staff there. I will definitely recommend. 4 stars cos there's room for improvement.

Good stay
Disadvantages: 1. So much noisy (almost everyday there were works working to fix different things)! 2. No internet connection in room within first 11 days (just last night) while we should have all our stay! 3. Continuous problem with switching to different generators (5 times in just 4 hours)! 4. Continuously switching off the general AC control! 5. Continuous problem with water pressure! 6. Not so comfortable bed and noisy! 7. Deposit request at check in while it was not mentioned on the website! 8. Usually bad smell in the first floor corridor during morning Advantages: 1. Managers were kind and trying to take care of problems. 2. Cleaning was perfect (never had any problem of cleaning). 3. Close to beach and shopping centers. 4. Secure. 5. Respectful and always available reception.
Response from Max on 10 Nov 2015
Thanks for your stay. This list is exactly what we need to fine tune our property for a higher stay satisfaction. Here’s how we are doing it: Noise: We are sorry about repairs noise level when you stayed. We made the decision to immediately go ahead & upgrade the Internet infrastructure around your studio, in response to your complain of poor Internet service in your apartment. We didn't want to leave it till you checked out. It’s all upgraded now. Extractors: Sadly, extractors provided in the kitchens of apartments are not always used by guests when cooking, it causes some smells to get trapped in the hallways, (especially overnight). This has been dealt with effectively by us this week. We have: 1) Pasted signs on how to use the extractors above each kitchen area for our residents and 2) Installed 2 extractors in the hallways, which now can work overnight, keeping the hallways always FRESH and NICE as we originally intended! Security deposit: Please go back to our website under ‘policy’, also on expedia, hotels.com, etc., WE ALWAYS specify that a security deposit is NECCESSARY at check-in. IT is impossible to check in here WITHOUT this returnable deposit, do check, sorry if you missed it, but its core to our extended-stay product and included everywhere.. Internet: Now beautifully upgraded with 2 more ISP's added. We even have excess bandwidth and some of the fastest speeds for you to enjoy in Lagos Sir! Power & Co: Sadly, Lagos still has major power issues & power will continue to go, while we manually switch over to our backup generators whenever City power fails, (which can be a few times a day). This means that some disruptance will occur to equipment and general living when it happens. Only the largest hotels are able to have expensive, seamless generators that can kick-in and give instant backup. We aim grow to that level of backup provision, PLEASE do bear with us as we strive. Nevertheless, we have worked on ensuring that our water pressure pumps etc. are able to stay on through this. We will rectify this by using spot power inverters. Thanks for letting us know, we appreciate that you chose to make this your home in Lagos, we will continue to strive, resolve & improve upon each stay experience Sir. Wish you a pleasant rest of year, thank you also about your comments on our responsive management team, ill pass it on! regards

We enjoyed our room.
We extended our stay since we enjoyed the room. However, the pool is still being fixed & you can't go up the terrace either.
Response from Max on 10 Nov 2015
Hello & thank you for your comments and the '4 out of 5'- star rating!. Sorry we are just not able to let guests on the terrace just yet as it would be unwise and unsafe to allow anyone there for now while the pool is being fixed and items are stored there. However, new Pool reopens in about a weeks time, hope to see you enjoying it soon! Have a great rest of year, do look us up when you are in Lagos again. It would be a pleasure to serve again. B.R.

Extended vacation
This is a nice hotel apartment in a nice area in Lekki phase 1. Fairly new place. Cool decor & big rooms. The staff & manager are wonderful & helpful. The room we booked is like a studio apartment like a home away from home so it got the all you need to do the cooking when you get tired of the restaurant foods. The beds were comfortable. We though had problems with the Internet, a/c , tv cable & shower. The staff did attend to it promptly. The pool was having issues on our stay & you can't go yet to the terrace to see the view. Palms shopping mall, Elegushi beach, Nike museum, First bank, & 2 local markets were close by. Overall, it's a great secure place to stay inspite of the issues that we extended our vacation at this apartment hotel.

Madame, Many thanks for taking time to let us know how your stay went. It is important to us to know what went right and perhaps EVEN more so what didn't go so right! The pool as we speak is just a few days from being ready for use again! We should have it ready for action in a few. Pictures of the new pool will be on our website, with a new, beautiful poolside sit-out that's worth the wait too! Service disruptions for Internet unfortunately came our ISP & dead spots, and I can proudly let you know that we NOW HAVE 3- different ISP's, VERY FAST, so even if any fails, we have 2 other backup!! We want your stay to be the best. Thanks for your comments again, we look forward to the pleasure of serving you again soon.

SPECTACULAR
Absolutely brilliant, this hotel is nothing short of SPECTACULAR! Firstly the staff are amazing! so welcoming, all unfailingly pleasant, and extremely helpful. A beautiful hotel, clean and quiet for the middle of Lagos. The suite was spacious, well appointed and beautiful Decor. The bed and suite was super clean comfortable and tidy. The only downside was that the swimming pool was under repair during my visit but I was informed the repair to the pool will be completed in the next couple of weeks. We could not fault anything in our 3 day stay (which we later extended to 5 days), the staff were so friendly and stunning. Whole heartedly recommend this hotel in an instant.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay and extended. We do look forward to hosting you again soon. B.R

Misleading, inaccurate, disappointing.
I specifically chose Millennium apartments as on the internet it looked lovely and we wanted somewhere really special as we were in Lagos to get married. I selected this place as a swimming pool and kitchen were my two key requirements. I also wanted somewhere in a nice, safe, quiet location. Wrong on every count! Swimming pool not working and hadn't been since at least March! Décor was shabby and very dirty in some places. I said this to them and they actually decorated the whole place whilst we were staying there! This was smelly, messy, noisy and often inconvenient having to walk on stairs covered with paper which was dangerous. There was NO roof terrace to use and when they began to work on the pool 4 days before we left, we then had nowhere to sit outside! This work was noisy and disruptive beginning at 08.00 each morning. We were assured the water was highly filtered and safe to drink and I'm so pleased that we still drank bottled water. One day after returning from the deserted, dirty Elegushi beach which had been recommended to us, my partner was in the middle of showering when the water went off. After calling reception the water came on after a few minutes and was so dirty it made me feel sick to think that we had been assured that it was clean enough for us to drink! The hotel is describes as 'beach front' but we had to get a 10-15 min taxi there and then pay admission to the dirtiest beaches I have ever seen.

Thank you for your comments, however, we don't feel that they are a proper & FAIR representation of our property, (as others who stayed with us at the same time, & also in the same apartment straight after your stay have VERY different things to say). This guest didn't want to be in Lagos at all and despite all efforts at serving /making her happy, including explaining the pool refurb & giving her a 3 free nights offer, paying for her to use a neighbours pool, & even offering to find another hotel for her to move (which her husband said NO to severally, that he was fine staying here), NOTHING was ever right, down to Lagos, taxis, beaches, the location etc. We welcome objective comments and will always try hard to improve. we strive to learn from every guests visit and improve. I do hope that you are able to find a property that will be suitable for your stay in Lagos next time you visit, we do thank you again for your visit & comments.
