Awful experience

I stayed for 8th to 10th Jan 2024 electricity went off around 11pm on the 9th and the rooms were infested with mosquitoes. I remained awake all night using phone light to chase mosquitoes. I bathed using my phone light & moved out as early as 6:42am same time power was restored. I already started malaria medication and will never recommend this hotel

Overall, a comfortable stay with very friendly staff who were always willing to assist us during our stay however necessary. Security was good, and beds were comfortable. Clean accommodations. Could use some updating, but for something we needed to just lay our heads in until we went back out for more adventures, and for the price, well worth it.

Suggestion: as with any international travel, I suggest printing out or screenshotting your reservation, because sometimes it's not communicated directly with the hotel

Big Facility, Poor Maintenance

This is a huge investment but poorly maintained. Originally tastefully furnished and decorated but poor cleaning and maintenance, especially the toilets/bathrooms seem to be bringing down the hotel rating fast.
The hotel has relatively good relationship staff members but I'm not sure same can be said of the maintenance team.
Their Breakfast is rich and if well kept, it's a nice place to stay.

Good public areas and terrible rooms

This hotel has a posh name, marbled public areas but the rooms are rubbish. No maintenance of the facilities, very dirty bathrooms with toilet seat not fixed, they can't afford decent shower or shower curtains, towel racks are rusty, towels are dirty and smelly, the carpets are very dirty, the curtains obviously haven't been laundered for years. The staff are there to earn a living not to help customers. For the money I paid, the hotel is a fraud.

Doesn't meet my minimum expectation

The externals of the hotel was pleasing, but quite disappointed with my room. The carpet looked worn out. The bedsheet were well wornout -- thin, varying shades of white across the width of the bed. Curtains didn't look clean; one of the holding bars for the curtain was significantly tilted off horizontal axis. Bathroom fixtures show considerable rust. From a cleaniless perspective, didn't feel comfortable using most of the items in the room. Booked room for two nights, only stayed there for one night. Had trouble making wireless connection. On the plus side, the hotel staff members were very friendly and very eager to help (e.g. with wireless connection). Also, the free breakfast was quite good.

2 stars for now, could be 4 stars with improvement

Rating this hotel on the web as 4 stars is misrepresentation. The ensuite wash room was not in 4 stars condition in my opinion. Towels looks disgusting, room service so unprofessional that the tea cup used instead of been replaced in the morning was taking and rinsed from ensuite was room and replaced there and then, never seen something like that before. No water boiler despite leaving satchel of coffee and milk on the table. Booked and paid for diplomatic suite but was given something less. When I complained, I was taking to another so called diplomatic suite to view but was actually worse than where I was.

Good hotel at a reasonable rate

Overall, I liked Hotel de Bently. My one MAJOR complaint is that they did not coordinate my online booking. In other words, when I showed up (very late and tired after flying from US), they did not have my room reservation despite booking via expedia and getting confirmation. The staff made me leave a room deposit and said they would look into it, but from previous experience I did not trust this and had to insist on them returning my deposit once I showed them my online booking.

Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very good and the staff was friendly. I would stay again but book directly with the hotel.

Not all that for the price paid ...

Overall, the room was clean and the breakfast and dinner selections were good. As well, the staff was available when needed. On the other hand, I was not impressed with the fact that when I arrived at the hotel to check in, they did not have a record of my reservation. It took about half an hour before they came back to take me to my room. Then they took me to the wrong type of room, which I pointed out to them. Upon arriving the correct type of room, the appearance was not appealing. The was water damage on the wall near the door to the room (on the inside of the room), plus the overall maintenance of the room and hotel as a whole was just sub par.

The hotel staff were generally courteous and responsive to my needs. However, the quality of their beds and linens were poor to say the least. The mattresses in the rooms I tried were hard and not comfortable to sleep on. Also,they need to have pressing iron and table as a \"standard\"available in all their rooms to conform with international standards. Their Wifi connection also needs to be upgraded in terms of speed and user friendliness.

It was a terrible experience. I paid for a premium room with yacuzzi which was not working. Bath was leaking, I asked for help, we waited over an hour for someone to start the yacuzzi, then it was leaking. Eventually we were moved to another room and the same problem occurred with water leaking all over the floor.

A good place for a business visit

The hotel is comfortable; the rooms are spacious and clean with air-conditioning that is effective. The internet service is the best I have seen in Nigeria. very very reliable. The service provided by the staff is of a high standard and well supervised. The hotel has a fine pool, patio with poolside facilities. There is a gym well equipped with weights, treadmills etc. The restaurant is of a good standard, although the menu could do with some occasional updating to give a wider range for those who stay here for long spells. Currently the hotel is undergoing some expansion and so there is some noise and dust from that during the day. However it is probably the nicest place to stay of all hotels in Abuja.

Found this hotel on Expedia and most of the reviews are right on. Staff was very helpful, not only with reservation but also with arranging car service for pickup at the airport. The rooms are clean and nicely furnished. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, but a taxi stand is right outside the hotel, so that downtown and most other destinations in Abuja are a short taxi ride away. Highly recommended.

Needs a some love to become great again

I discovered Hotel de Bently in desperation two years ago after abandoning two terrible hotels. Back then the hotel was a breath of fresh air , probably the only OK and reasonably priced hotel other than the hyper-priced Hilton. The Hotel de Bently was either quite new, or recently refurbished. It was clean, fresh, modern, with friendly, helpful staff.

I have been staying in the Hotel de Bently several times since June 2011, and it still has friendly, helpful staff, the rooms are clean. However, I have seen a steady deterioration in the bathrooms. During my visit last week, the bathroom was smelly, and there was no cold water in the bath taps. They sent in a plumber who fixed it quite quickly. Lack of proper maintenance is starting to show in equipment, like in the lifts, which were out of order for 2 days, and the air-conditioner in the restaurant was broken on the last day of my stay.
A new gripe I have is that previously Internet was free, but now you pay several times more than 3G data on a pre-paid SIM. That is a huge disappointment, which is why I'm only giving a 3 for \"value\" in my rating.

Bottom line is that this is probably still the best value for money in Abuja hotels, but the management must be careful that they don't allow this gem of a hotel go to pieces before needing a drastic rescue, as so often happens in Nigeria.

I stayed in Hotel De Bently It is a very affordable Hotel for this part of the world . Staff was very friendly. WiFi internet works very well but for a fee. I asked why the charge for their Wifi. I was told 'if you need good internet service in Nigeria, you have to pay for it'. I think that is quite fair. Rooms are excellent. Very clean. Room service very good. Breakfast included in the room rent. I enjoyed their native food. I looked around in other hotels in Abuja they are very expensive. I will be going again in September I will definitely stay there.

Hotel de Bentley

The hotel is very ordinary. I would advise you not to eat at the hotel and rather eat elsewhere. I say this because we had both the buffet supper and breakfast. It seems the hotel caters mainly for the traditional Nigerian foods, and as a westener, I could select very little that I felt comfortable with. I had no intention of having a sleepless night due to food that would upset the status quo.Only use the hotel as a sleepover. I was very dissapointed when I heard that I will have to pay N 2,000 for only 100mb of data. The rooms are spacious and clean, although one of my pillows had a stain.For breakfast my collegue had their only juice on offer, waterlemon, and immediately put it down after one sip. The ommelette was pre made and tasted like it needed salt, the fruit on offer looked old and was wrapped in plastic, so was the cheese. I had toasted bread, ommilette and jam with tea. On the positive:The staff is very friendly, aircon worked and the beer was cold.

Not great for a family

The service was pretty good but could have been better. I booked a room for 2 Adults when I received my itinerary it stated free parking and free buffet breakfast. When we went to have breakfast we were told the buffet breakfast was for only one person in the room we paid extra to eat breakfast. The itinerary was not worded as such and was misleading. The staff got an attitude when we asked to have our food wrapped up so we could bring it to our rooms. They would look over your shoulders whenever you went to the buffet. This happen anytime during the day breakfast, lunch or dinner. They preferred their staff to bring it so they could charge an additional fee. Every time they brought food to room they expected to get naira's. They also inspected food we brought back to the hotel.

The room had a damp odor and they only brought us one towel and one washcloth. We had to request they leave two towels and two washcloths otherwise we would end up using one towel and washcloth for the both of us. When taking a shower the water would be all over the floor.

We also had to keep going to the lobby to have our room key reactivated. The staff was not very professional and friendly. I will not stay at this hotel on my next visit to Nigeria, Abuja. I will be sure to stay at a hotel who go out of their way for their customers to make sure they are happy at all times.
