Hotels in Kubwa are cheaper than their counterparts in central Abuja, and the town has grown a good range of small hotels, apartments and a few pool properties. Kubwa sits north-west of the city centre, so the trade-off is a longer drive to the airport and the main business districts.
This guide sets out the prices reported for Kubwa, sorts the hotels by phase and road, looks at the pool hotels and compares the listing-site rates with a booking site. Many scores rest on one to four reviews and the two price sources differ a great deal, so I say where a figure is thin and where you should call the hotel.
Hotels in Kubwa at a Glance
Kubwa is a large satellite district in the Federal Capital Territory, with its own phases, extensions and market roads. Anyone searching for hotels in kubwa abuja will find budget rooms, apartment-style stays and a few event hotels. One listing site counts 100 hotels on its Kubwa page, with 42 of them labelled Kubwa itself. The table sums up what to expect.
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Where | Kubwa, including Phase 2, Phase 4, Extension 3 and the FCDA roads |
| Listings | 100 hotels on one listing site |
| Lowest on the first page | About ₦6,000 a night |
| Typical range | About ₦8,500 to ₦25,000 a night |
| Highest on the first page | About ₦25,000 a night |
| Data quality | Mixed, with one hotel showing 17 reviews and many showing one to six |
The figures come from a Nigerian listing site that does not date its prices and from a booking site that gave euro rates for sample nights in November. Read them as planning guides. Best in the title means a set of hotels with published prices, and the order of the tables is not a ranking.
Hotels in Kubwa and Prices
The first table follows the first page of the listing site and sets out hotels in kubwa and prices as average nightly rates, sorted from cheapest to dearest.
| Hotel | Area on the listing | Average per night | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ignobis Hotel | Gado Nasko Road, Phase 4 | ₦6,000 | Score 7.3 from 6 reviews |
| 1 Apartment and Suites | Extension 3 | ₦7,500 | Score 8.4 from one review |
| Cupid Suites Restaurant | Sultan Dasuki Road | ₦8,500 | Score 9.5 from 3 reviews |
| MS-Marriott Apartments | Allen Avenue Street, Gidi Dutse | ₦9,500 | Score 6.2 from 7 reviews |
| Top Franky Palace Hotel | Bama Street, off Gayata Road | ₦11,000 | Score 6.3 from 10 reviews |
| Camzy Villa Hotel | Queen Aminah Street | ₦12,000 | Score 7.5 from 6 reviews |
| Roop Hotels | Off PHCN Road, Phase IV | ₦13,500 | Score 5.9 from 3 reviews |
| SeaDry Suites | FCDA, Extension III | ₦17,000 | Score 8.5 from 4 reviews |
| Stamford Hotels | Olukoya Street, Extension 3 | ₦24,750 | Score 6.9 from 17 reviews |
| Vibes Suites | FCDA, near Dutse Command Police Station | ₦25,000 |
The spread on this page is narrow, only about four times from the cheapest to the dearest. Stamford Hotels has the most reviews, 17, and a middling 6.9, while Top Franky Palace Hotel has ten reviews and 6.3. The highest scores, such as 9.5 for Cupid Suites Restaurant, rest on three guests or fewer, so they are leads and not proof.
A booking site’s euro rates for a sample night in November are in the next table. They use the Central Bank rate from mid-October, ₦1,490 to the euro, and are rounded to the nearest hundred.
| Property | Lowest rate shown | About in naira | Guest score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Venus View Resort | €27 | ₦40,200 | No score noted |
| Skyline View Hotel and Suites | €40 | ₦59,600 | No score noted |
| Camzy Villa Hotel | €41 | ₦61,100 | No score noted |
| Brookville Hotel and Suites | €113 | ₦168,400 | 7.8 from 7 reviews |
| Swiss Pyramid Suites | €158 | ₦235,400 | No score noted |
| Hotel De Alommah | €160 | ₦238,400 | No score noted |
| Pearl Hotel and Suites | €229 | ₦341,200 | No score noted |
Camzy Villa Hotel shows the gap clearly. It is about ₦12,000 on the listing site and about ₦61,100 on the booking site, five times as much. The booking site’s higher rates may reflect the dates it chose, a different room type or taxes, so treat the listing-site averages as the more realistic starting point and ask the hotel for its direct price.
Hotels in Kubwa by Phase and Road
Kubwa is divided into phases, extensions and roads, and addresses are written that way. The trick is to ask which phase the hotel is in and then which road, because the phases can be a long drive apart.
Phase 4
Phase 4 is the best-covered phase on the first page. Ignobis Hotel on Gado Nasko Road is the cheapest at about ₦6,000, Roop Hotels sits off PHCN Road at about ₦13,500, and the pool filter adds Basley Hotel Kubwa on Okitikpupa Crescent at the District Centre, about ₦37,000. Anyone looking for hotels in kubwa phase 4 should check the road name, since Gado Nasko Road also appears in the pool list.
Phase 3 and Phase 2
I found no hotel on the first page that gives a Phase 3 address, so anyone who needs hotels in kubwa phase 3 should look at the nearest phase and check the distance on a map. Grand Valley Hotel is on Sultan Dasuki Way in Phase 2, at about ₦35,000, and the listing site tags it as a pool hotel, though one reviewer says it has no pool. Ask before you pay for one.
Arab Road and the Market Roads
No hotel on the first page names Arab Road, so searches for hotels in kubwa arab road are best settled by phone. Top Franky Palace Hotel is off Gayata Road, Camzy Villa Hotel is on Queen Aminah Street, and MS-Marriott Apartments is on Allen Avenue Street in Gidi Dutse. The roads near the markets are busy, so ask which side of the road the entrance is on.
FO1 and the FCDA Side
Tofana Hotel and Event Center is listed on Charlote Adesanya Street in FO1, at about ₦40,000, and the guest list for hotels in kubwa fo1 is short. SeaDry Suites and Vibes Suites are both tagged FCDA, at about ₦17,000 and ₦25,000. Our guide to shortlet apartments in Abuja is a useful alternative for a longer stay.
Kubwa Hotels With a Swimming Pool
The listing site shows five Kubwa hotels with a pool, and anyone searching for hotels in kubwa with swimming pool will find them in this order of price. Soul Lounge and Suites on Gado Nasko Road is about ₦20,000, with 8.8 from two reviews. Grand Valley Hotel is about ₦35,000, Basley Hotel Kubwa about ₦37,000, Royale Pruriel Hotels on Asoluka Road about ₦38,500 and Tofana Hotel and Event Center about ₦40,000. Ask whether the pool is open, filled and clean on your dates, and whether visitors pay to use it.
A Rough Budget by Tier
Three bands appear in the data. Below about ₦10,000 you pay for a basic room or apartment with a thin record. Between about ₦11,000 and ₦25,000 you reach the better-supported hotels on the page. Between about ₦20,000 and ₦40,000 you reach the pool properties. Add the cost of getting into the city, because a ride to central Abuja or the airport from Kubwa can cost more than a night in the cheapest room.
How to Choose and Book
Choose by your errand and your transport. If your business is in Kubwa, stay in the phase closest to it. If you are using Kubwa as a cheaper base for Abuja, ask how long the drive takes at the hour you plan to travel, because the roads in and out can be slow. A booking site puts Kubwa about 9.7 km from Zuma Rock and 17.7 km from the airport, and our guide to Zuma Rock explains the visit.
Questions to Ask Before You Pay
- Does the generator run when the grid is off?
- Is the water supply steady?
- Is the compound gated?
- Does the rate include breakfast?
- Which phase and road is the hotel on?
Read the latest travel advice for your route before a trip from another state, and message the hotel your expected arrival time and your road into Kubwa so the desk can plan for a late arrival. For the city itself, see our list of hotels in Abuja with prices.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hotels in Kubwa
How much does a hotel in Kubwa cost?
On the listing site I read, rates ran from about ₦6,000 to about ₦25,000. A booking site showed higher figures, so ask the hotel for its own price.
Are there Kubwa hotels with a swimming pool?
Yes. The listing site shows five, from Soul Lounge and Suites at about ₦20,000 to Tofana Hotel and Event Center at about ₦40,000.
Is Kubwa far from the airport?
A booking site puts the airport about 17.7 km away, and the road time depends on the hour.
Before You Book
Ask the hotel to confirm the phase, the road, the final rate and the power arrangement in a message, and keep it. Be careful with a high score from one to three guests. A booking site names January, July and August as the cheapest months, which may bring lower rates.
