Five Quick Ways Nigerians Can Find Affordable Hotels

“Cheap hotels Nigeria” is one of those popular search phrases on Google, which tells us that a lot of people are looking for cheap hotels in (and, perhaps, around) Nigeria.

Although hotels are usually considered luxury services, there are some events where hotels are a basic necessity: for the NYSC corps member looking for a place to stay on his first visit to his state of deployment, the weary job-seeker travelling to a strange location for an interview, the happy-in-love man planning a trip to see his in-laws in the East…

No matter the reason for your needing a hotel room, chances are you will prefer to keep the cost per night as low as possible. This article is going to show you how you can make the most out of your money as far as your hotel accommodation is concerned:

DO A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH

The first suggestion is to search Google for available hotels around your destination. On hotels.ng, you can find a list of hotels in Abuja, a list of hotels in Lagos or any other city in Nigeria. If the website in question has a functional website, it will show up in your search and you can then find out the price ranges for their various room sizes and features.

The drawback to this, however, is that if these websites aren’t regularly updated, you may be reading old information on the homepages of these hotels.

ASK AROUND

The second suggestion is to inquire from people that have been to the destination or people that even stay there on the perfect lodge to stay during your visit. Based on the ideas given from those asked you can be able to deduce the best hotels within your available budget.

However the disadvantage of this is that the information given at that instance might not be valid as the lodges are constantly changing their policies. Another thing to consider is that while people might be able to tell you about a hotel, they are not usually carrying the hotel booking information around. This means that you may be armed with the required information about good/affordable hotels in an area without being able to book still. Therefore there is the probability of you arriving to a fully booked hotel. There is also the pitfall of anecdotal responses and bias from asking one person alone e.g. an individual can give you a biased positive review of a lodge due to his personal relationship with the owner etc.

USE AN ONLINE HOTELS BOOKING AGENCY

Hotels booking agencies typically have a regularly updated list of hotels in Nigeria with up-to-date information on hotel prices, available rooms, photographs and reviews for travelers, no matter where you are going. One of such hotel platforms is Hotels.ng, which has more than 7,000 hotels in its inventory.

When you visit Hotels.ng, you can search for hotels in the specific location you are looking for and filter the results based on your preference (‘cheapest hotels first’ can be specified in the price range) and get a list tailored to your specific needs.

When you book a hotel, you can specify if you want to pay online with your card or if you want to pay on arrival (at the hotel). As soon as you book a hotel, a hotels.ng dedicated customer support person will help you, making sure you have the best hotel booking process as possible.

Additionally, hotels.ng offers discounts and lower prices than can be found when you directly book with a hotel.
