The fine print: An overwhelming majority of guests love (seriously) this three-star hotel for its fantastic customer service, clean rooms and quietness. Breakfast is included and there’s a swimming pool if you need to take a dip. Budget perfection.

Good to know: Even though it offers just one kind of room, this one-star hotel surprises guests pleasantly with value for money. You’ll pay 12,000 naira and get free WiFi, but you’ll have to hunt for breakfast.

2. Greens Manor, Victoria Island
The fine print: On paper, this two-star hotel is an unbelievable bargain — it’s in a central location, well rated for cleanliness and a home-like feel, includes breakfast and offers a standard room for 19,500 naira. We’re tempted to rate it higher.

3. Ikoyi Fairview Apartments, Dolphin Estate
Good to know: This unusual three-star facility has a mix of hotel rooms and serviced apartments. Its studio flats come with a kitchenette stocked with a blender, fridge, cooker, microwave and utensils. If you’re not the cooking kind, there’s a restaurant. Laundry and car wash services are free.
