Hotels in Magodo are mostly small, private and tucked into residential streets, which makes them a calm alternative to the busier Ikeja strips nearby. The estate is largely a place where people live, so the guest houses and suites are scattered among homes and are easy to miss without an address.
This guide sets out the prices reported for Magodo, sorts the hotels by phase and street, picks out the best-supported stays and explains what to ask before you pay. Most scores rest on one to four reviews, and I found only one price source I could use, so I say where a figure is thin and where you should call the hotel.
Hotels in Magodo at a Glance
Magodo lies in the northern part of Lagos, beside Ikeja and Isheri, and one listing site counts 31 hotels under its name. Anyone searching for hotels in magodo lagos will find guest houses, serviced apartments and a few resort-style suites, with the larger names clustered in Phase 2. The table sums up the market.
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Where | Magodo Phase 2 GRA, Magodo II, Shangisha and CMD Road |
| Listings | 31 hotels on one listing site |
| Lowest on the first page | About ₦8,000 a night |
| Typical range | About ₦22,000 to ₦60,000 a night |
| Highest on the first page | About ₦71,500 a night |
| Data quality | Thin, with one guest house showing 17 reviews and most showing one to four |
The prices come from a Nigerian listing site that does not date its figures. I opened a booking-site page for Magodo, but it returned a general list of Ikeja-area hotels and not Magodo properties, so I do not quote it. Every naira figure below is therefore a listing-site average, which you should read as a planning guide. Best in the title marks hotels with published prices, and the table order is not a ranking.
Hotels in Magodo and Prices
The table follows the first page of the listing site and sets out hotels in magodo and their prices as average nightly rates, sorted from cheapest to dearest. One hotel on the page, The Lion House Hotel, showed no price, so it appears at the end.
| Hotel | Area on the listing | Average per night | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amenze Guest House | Moses Iguodala Close, off CMD Road, Shangisha | ₦8,000 | Score 5.2 from one review |
| Gullivers Holiday Apartments | Tokunbo Macaulay Street | ₦22,000 | Score 7.2 from one review |
| Fadars Place | Sebastine Street, Magodo II | ₦35,000 | Score 10 from one review |
| House B Guest House | Sebastine Street, Shangisha | ₦35,500 | Score 6.5 from 17 reviews |
| House B Guest Annex | Sebastine Street area | ₦35,500 | Score 5.7 from 4 reviews |
| Ambience Hotel and Resort | Adekunle Banjo Street, Phase II GRA | ₦55,000 | |
| Esporta Suites Hotel and Resorts | CMD Road, beside Magodo Brooks Estate | ₦58,300 | |
| Sicily Luxury Suites | Parker’s Close, Phase 2 | ₦60,000 | |
| Volantis Gold Suites and Apartments | Not stated | ₦71,500 | Score 6.4 from 2 reviews |
| The Lion House Hotel | Kola Amodu Crescent, Phase 2 | No price | Score 8.3 from 4 reviews |
The evidence is uneven. House B Guest House has 17 reviews and a score of 6.5, which makes it the only hotel on the page with a sample large enough to mean much. Its annex, with four reviews, scores lower at 5.7. The perfect 10 for Fadars Place comes from one guest, and the 8.3 for The Lion House Hotel from four.
The spread is wide for such a small estate. The cheapest priced hotel is about one-ninth of the dearest, and the middle of the page clusters around ₦35,000. If you can only compare two, compare House B Guest House at ₦35,500 with Ambience Hotel and Resort at ₦55,000, and ask what the extra ₦19,500 buys.
Hotels in Magodo by Phase and Street
Addresses in Magodo are written by phase and street, and the phases are some distance apart. Ask which phase a hotel is in before you compare prices.
Phase 2 and the GRA
Searches for hotels in magodo phase 2 lead to Sicily Luxury Suites on Parker’s Close at about ₦60,000 and The Lion House Hotel on Kola Amodu Crescent, which showed no price. Ambience Hotel and Resort is on Adekunle Banjo Street in the Phase II GRA at about ₦55,000. Anyone who types hotels in magodo gra will find the dearer hotels here, so expect secure gates and quieter streets, and ask what the rate includes.
Phase 1
I found no hotel on the first page that gives a Phase 1 address. Anyone who needs hotels in magodo phase 1 should open the hotel’s own listing, check the street on a map and ask a direct question about the distance from the main road. A neighbouring phase may be a short drive away, but Lagos traffic makes short drives slow.
Shangisha and CMD Road
For hotels in magodo shangisha the listing site shows Amenze Guest House on Moses Iguodala Close, off CMD Road, at about ₦8,000, and House B Guest House on Sebastine Street at about ₦35,500. The first is the cheapest on the page, with one review, and the second is the best supported. Searches for hotels in magodo cmd lead to Esporta Suites Hotel and Resorts on CMD Road, beside Magodo Brooks Estate, at about ₦58,300. CMD Road is a main road, so a hotel on it is easier to find, though the noise and the traffic come with it.
Isheri and the Edges
No first-page hotel carries an Isheri address, so anyone looking for hotels in magodo isheri should treat the term as a search area and ask the hotel where it is. Several listings belong to Magodo II, such as Fadars Place on Sebastine Street, and neighbouring districts blur at the edges. Send the driver a map pin rather than a phase name.
A Rough Budget by Tier
The prices sort into three groups. Around ₦8,000 buys a basic guest-house room with a very thin record. Between ₦22,000 and ₦35,500 you reach the small hotels and apartments that make up the middle of the list. From ₦55,000 to ₦71,500 you pay for the resort-style names in the GRA and on CMD Road. Add the cost of getting around, since a stay in a residential estate often means hired rides for meals and errands.
Cheap Rooms and Best-Supported Stays
The cheapest room on the page is Amenze Guest House at about ₦8,000, and the one-review score of 5.2 is a warning to ask questions before you pay. Gullivers Holiday Apartments at about ₦22,000 is the next step up and scores 7.2, again from a single guest. For a stay with more evidence behind it, House B Guest House is the choice, with 17 reviews at about ₦35,500, though its annex scores lower at 5.7 from four. At the top of the list, Volantis Gold Suites and Apartments at about ₦71,500 has a score of 6.4 from two reviews, so a high price does not guarantee a high score. Ask each hotel for photos of the actual room and for its latest guest comments.
Magodo or Ikeja?
Magodo suits a visitor who wants a quiet street and a hotel that feels like a house, and Ikeja suits one who wants a large hotel, a restaurant and a short road to the airport. Our guides to hotels in Ikeja and restaurants in Ikeja cover that side. If you are arriving late or leaving on an early flight, check the distance and the time of day before you choose an estate address, because road time in Lagos varies with the hour.
How to Choose and Book
Pick by what you came to do. If your meeting or your family is in Magodo, stay in the same phase. If you are using the estate as a quieter base for Ikeja, ask how long the drive takes at the hour you plan to travel. Read the most recent reviews, because a hotel’s story can change within a year.
Questions to Ask Before You Pay
- Does the generator cover the evening hours?
- Is there a borehole or a steady water supply?
- Is the compound gated, with a guard on duty?
- Does the rate include breakfast?
- Which phase and street is the hotel on?
Keep the answers in a message so you can refer to them at check-in. For a wider look at prices, see our list of hotels in Lagos with prices.
Eating and Getting Around
I could not find menus for these hotels, so ask what the kitchen cooks and until what hour. Many guests order food in or take a short ride to a restaurant. Agree the fare before any ride, and ask the front desk for a driver’s number if you plan several stops.
