REVIEWS: Chesney, a place to be

The pleasant surprise is that a 3-Star hotel can have a 5-star class.

Such surprise awaits you at Chesney Hotel: a haven of luxury, tucked away in a most serene and secure corner of Lagos. Your first surprise will be the courteous staff of the hotel, with their ready, warm smile and condescending approach to guests. I think the cheerful troop at Chesney Hotel is a collection of the most efficient hotel staffs one can find anywhere is this fast growing mega city of Lagos. Chesney Hotel is a surprise to discover.

You will be pleasantly surprised at the cosy ambiance of Chesney Hotel. Most definitely one of the most decent Hotels in Lagos I have been to. The cleanliness and freshness of the air around the facility is most desirable. The public areas, like the homely reception is adequately air-conditioned; The furniture arrangement, and the plasma TV that alternates between News, Sports and music channels is riveting. The collection of Newspapers and magazines to browse through, and the lighting all makes The Hotel just so inviting.

The neat, Cordial and amiable staff makes you feel you are in good company at Chesney. They are indeed good company. Everyone of them seem to speak your language. And the smiles with which they bid you "Welcome To Chesney", and "please come again to Chesney" is surprising, and an invitation good as you can get in any 5-Star hotel in Lagos. 

The hotel's amenities include, a classy restaurant, a well-stocked bar, a VIP lounge with everything you can find in a VIP lounge. There is a, rather sizeable, swimming pool with a bar, and snooker boards.
At Chesney, the feeling that your unique personal needs are professionally catered for, is overwhelming. Sure, every hotel in Lagos has a functional public convenience system, but the observable high standard of hygiene at Chesney exemplary and commendable. 

If a hotel facility could be referred to as "home away from home", this unique indigenous hospitality outfit: Chesney, is it.

I visited that place for the first time, for a business meeting. I have no shadow of regret that I had gotten there good 40 minutes before the meeting took off. Every one of those waiting 40 minutes was
a time well spent in laudable comfort, and astonishingly impeccable luxury service.

Chesney, on Saka Tinubu Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, is a reassuring discovery. The oasis of luxury is in the neighbourhood of Park 'N' Shop, Debonair Pizza, and MedPlus pharmacy. It is definitely a place of choice if what you are looking for in Lagos hotels is comfort and excellent service. A pleasant surprise is Chesney Hotel, Lagos.
