Hotels in Festac are scattered across a planned town that was laid out in numbered avenues and lettered closes, and the addresses reflect it. A listing may give an avenue, a road number and a close, which is helpful if you know the grid and baffling if you do not.
This guide sets out the prices reported for Festac, sorts the hotels by avenue and area, looks at the hotels with pools and compares the district with the airport hotels nearby. Several ratings rest on very few reviews, so I say where a figure is thin and where you should confirm with the hotel.
Hotels in Festac at a Glance
Festac Town lies on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway in the Amuwo Odofin area of the state, west of Mile 2. Anyone searching for hotels in festac lagos will find small hotels, serviced suites and a few larger properties, and the listing site counts 49 of them. The table below summarises the market.
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Where | Festac Town, Festac Extension and the Amuwo Odofin side |
| Listings | 49 hotels on one listing site, 15 of them with a pool |
| Lowest on the first page | About ₦7,000 a night |
| Typical range | About ₦11,000 to ₦40,000 a night |
| Highest on the first page | About ₦60,000 a night |
| Data quality | Better than in many districts, with one hotel showing 29 reviews |
The prices come from a Nigerian listing site that does not date its figures and from a booking site that showed a few Festac and Amuwo Odofin properties for sample nights in November. Treat each number as a rough guide, not a quote. The word best in the title only signals a selection with clear prices, and the table order carries no ranking.
Hotels in Festac and Prices
The first table follows the first page of the listing site and sets out hotels in festac and prices as average nightly rates, sorted from cheapest to dearest.
| Hotel | Area on the listing | Average per night | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oak Hotel | Festac Link Road, by Rasaki Junction | ₦7,000 | Score 6.2 from 29 reviews |
| Sada Cruz Suites | 4th Avenue | ₦11,000 | Score 8.1 from 3 reviews |
| Dublina Suites | 4th Avenue, by G Close | ₦25,000 | Pool; score 6.3 from 3 reviews |
| Paris Suites Hotel | 6 Avenue, 421 Road, Festac Extension | ₦25,000 | Pool; score 7.7 from 11 reviews |
| Vicmike Villa Hotel | 2nd Avenue, by 4th Avenue Junction | ₦27,500 | Pool; score 6.8 from 9 reviews |
| Brighams Suites | 1st Avenue | ₦40,000 | Pool; score 7.8 from 5 reviews |
| Cosmila Suites | Amuwo Odofin Residential Scheme, Lakeview | ₦40,000 | Pool; score 10 from 3 reviews |
| Divic Exclusive Hotel | E Close, 1st Avenue | ₦50,000 | Pool |
| Rockview Hotel | 23 Road, 2nd Avenue | ₦56,350 | Score 6.8 from 20 reviews |
| Festival Hotel Festac by Premium Swiss Hospitality | Mile 2, Amuwo Odofin | ₦60,000 | Pool; score 7.9 from 24 reviews |
The reviews are more useful here than in most places. Oak Hotel, Rockview Hotel and Festival Hotel have 29, 20 and 24 reviews respectively, so their scores are not the product of a single guest. Oak Hotel is the cheapest and has a middling score, Festival Hotel has the strongest score of the large-review group, and the cost difference between them is more than eight times.
The second table gives rates from a booking site for one night in November, with two adults. Naira figures use ₦1,331.61 to the dollar, the Central Bank rate from mid-October, rounded to the nearest hundred.
| Property | Lowest rate shown | About in naira | Guest score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Park Hotels, Amuwo Odofin | US$32 | ₦42,600 | 7.6 from 11 reviews |
| Rockview Hotel Festac | US$82 | ₦109,200 | 7.6 from 9 reviews |
Rockview Hotel is about ₦56,350 on the listing site and about ₦109,200 on the booking site, which shows the gap that can open between two sources. The booking site lists Festival Hotel with a score of 7.6 from 27 reviews, close to the 7.9 on the listing site.
Hotels in Festac by Avenue and Area
Addresses in Festac read like a map reference, and a few rules help. The avenues are numbered, the roads off them carry numbers too, and lettered closes branch off in turn. A driver who knows the grid can find an address from the avenue and the close.
1st and 2nd Avenue
Brighams Suites and Divic Exclusive Hotel are on 1st Avenue at about ₦40,000 and ₦50,000, and Rockview Hotel and Vicmike Villa Hotel are on 2nd Avenue at about ₦56,350 and ₦27,500. This is the older, more central part of Festac Town, on the roads that lead to the expressway.
4th Avenue
Sada Cruz Suites at about ₦11,000 and Dublina Suites at about ₦25,000 are both on 4th Avenue. Sada Cruz is the cheapest hotel in the group with a decent score, though it has three reviews, so read recent comments before you decide.
6th Avenue and Festac Extension
Searches for hotels in festac 6th avenue lead to Paris Suites Hotel, whose listing gives 6 Avenue, 421 Road, in the Festac Extension. It is listed at about ₦25,000 with a score of 7.7 from 11 reviews and a pool, which makes it one of the better supported mid-range choices on the page.
Amuwo Odofin and Mile 2
Hotels in festac and amuwo odofin overlap, because Festac Town sits inside the larger area. Festival Hotel is listed at Mile 2 and Cosmila Suites at Lakeview in the Amuwo Odofin Residential Scheme. A booking site puts Festival Hotel about 3.3 km from Festac and Villa Park Hotels about 5.1 km away. Both suit travellers who want to be near the expressway.
Searches for hotels in festac town and prices bring back all of these, so sort by avenue first and then compare. Our list of hotels in Surulere covers the mainland district to the east, about 7.5 km from Festac according to a booking site.
Festac Hotels With a Pool
The listing site shows 15 Festac hotels with a pool. Those on its first page include Peridot Hotel at Lake View Phase 1, about ₦18,700, Vic James Apartments in Diamond Estate, about ₦38,500, and Rownez Resort on Cavera Road, 1st Avenue, about ₦60,000 with a score of 9.6 from one review. Anyone searching for hotels in festac with swimming pool will also see Dublina, Paris Suites, Vicmike, Brighams, Divic, Cosmila and Festival Hotel in the filter. Ask whether the pool is filled, open and clean on your dates, and whether there is a charge for visitors.
Festac or the Airport Area?
Travellers sometimes choose Festac for a night before a flight, and the comparison is worth making. A booking site’s Festac search shows airport-area hotels about 12 km away, such as Joygate Hotel and Suites at about US$62, roughly ₦82,600, and Green Point Hotel at about US$95, roughly ₦126,500, both with scores above 8. Festac has lower prices at the bottom of the range and a quieter feel, but the airport hotels cut the road time on the morning of the flight. Our guide to cheap hotels near Lagos airport sets out that side, and Lagos traffic can be slow in both directions.
How to Choose and Book
Choose by your errand. Festac suits a family visit, a market trip or an event in the town, and the expressway side suits an early flight or a road journey west. If you need a room for a long stay, ask about a weekly rate.
Checks Before You Pay
- Is there a generator, and what hours does it run?
- Is the water supply constant?
- Is there parking and a secure gate?
- Is breakfast part of the rate?
- Which avenue and close is the hotel on?

Getting Around
Most guests reach Festac by road along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, and ride-hailing cars are the usual way to cross town. Because the grid is confusing, send the driver a map pin as well as the avenue and the close, and agree on a pickup point at the gate. Allow extra time for the expressway at peak hours, and avoid tight connections on the day you fly.

Before You Book
Ask each hotel to confirm the address, the rate and the power supply in writing, and save the reply. Use the review counts, not just the scores, and be wary of a perfect score from one guest. Book ahead for weekends, when events in the town can fill the larger rooms.
