Staff were friendly and food good . Blowfish is a gem
Blowfish Hotel is all it promises to be; good environment, friendly and courteous staff. I look forward to staying there again in future, and would gladly recommend it to anyone.
If I could make one tine criticism, that would be to have a bedside lamp, so I don't have to get up to switch off the light after reading in bed.
It was good. The ambience was excellent. Food variety was also topnotch. 4 resturants available with excellent cuisine. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Overall a very good place.
The team was exceptional. Happiness (the front desk lady) in particular was very kind and helpful. The breakfast was varied, and the restaurant staff were courteous. Highly recommended for the staff experience.
Beautiful 5 star hotel. I was there back in 2022 and I can see huge upgrade in all areas.
Good food, live music, new pool, new restaurants and lots of good vibes !
So happy to discover Blowfish and Vertigo.
Has a great weekend there with entertainment and delicious food.
Seems to be refurbishes and rooms look so good. Highly recommended!
Everyone at this hotel is amazing. Any issues were resolved quickly management is wonderful. The food is great. I will stay at this location. Anytime I visit Nigeria.
Everything was great.My room was super clean and spacious. Meals ordered were on time and looked so presentable. Restaurants and pool with lovely music and l was able to relax.

Breakfast room was good but limited options of food and not a single Nigerian breakfast option provided. The pool area was large but for smokers. As a non smoker, I avoided it to not inhale smokes. Even the only closed area was reserved for smokers. The staff was cautious.
Positive about this location; . It is in VI so central lots of restaurants and spots.
However there were many issues with this hotel.
1. There were frequent power outages — one time I was in shower and had to wait for 5mins for the water to come back on. An inverter would be a good idea.
2 I had to ring for toilets rolls and towels as they forgot to include upon checkin,
3.Checkout was horrendous as they almost put the wrong charge on my bill, and didn’t really seem like they knew what they were doing.
4. The breakfast selection wasn’t the best.
Kind regards.

It’s an older hotel but still very good. The neighborhood is safe and there’s a supermarket across the street and a few good restaurants very close by (Yellow Chilli).
Breakfast is excellent. Great staff, super helpful and friendly.
Room was very clean. It’s only starting to look older.
