Good night staying
Numa
Rooms were nice and staff were ok but the publicly available numbers for the hotel don't work and they didn't respond to messages through the Expedia app which is frustrating because as a solo traveller I wanted to be picked up from the airport for safety.
Eventually I was able to contact the hotel through family connections in the county, but it should not be so difficult.

Rooms are too small, door and wardrobe are in conflict, stains on duvet, however, staff are exceptional(considering location) professional, nice and handle service calls in a timely way. Great food, nice accessible location.
Derek
Fine hotel but small rooms
The hotel was fine. I had assumed all Protea hotels would be the same and having stayed the previous nights in Protea in Warri I was very surprised that my bedroom was quite small.
Overall it was fine. Everyone was friendly of course and helpful.
This was my third vacation in Benin and it was the best hotel out of the others I had tried.

The rooms are getting old and stuffy with stains on the sink and around the toilet. Mosquitoes in the room and the toilet doesn’t smell nice at all.

The staffs made our stay warm. The breakfast menu was comprehensive and delicious. I especially enjoyed the freshly made watermelon juice. I slept soundly in my bed too. Thumbs up to the entire management.

I had a great experience staying at Protea Benin City. The staff were professional. Checking in and out was smooth.
Victor
Property has been managed well over the years. However the use of rugs on the corridors leading to the rooms should be reconsidered so the public spaces can smell fresher
Joy
Property will cancel your reservation and will not refund original booking even if you check in the next day. I have had to pay for two hotel rooms for 5 night stays each but I only stayed in one hotel room.
Emmanuel
Awesome!
Elson

Helen Andrew
Beautiful hotel . Check in was easy and convenient. Travelled July 2024 for 2 nights. I will definitely return.
Augustus
Protea hotel Benin city
The hotel is old and needs to be remodeled. The staff are top notch and go out of their way to accommodate your every need. I felt secure throughout my stay, other than the outdated rooms, this is the best hotel in Benin for now.
Ehinon
The Protea Hotel will be my choice for stay in Benin moving forward. The showers were always hot & air conditioner, always cold. The staff was extremely accommodating and prepared to help or offer guidance. The beds could be softer but that’s the standard in the area. I always felt secure about my belongings during my stay. The cleaner was an absolute pleasure every morning, offering new sheets & towels at request. Overall a great stay. Be sure to try the grilled catfish & the ice cold Heineken on draft.
Mubarak
The staff need more training. Restaurant needs to put their things together as everything you order is not available. The worst part is they will take the order and be back after 30 mins to tell you is not available. The rooms are clean and good.

Likes... good food, friendly staff, free parking, WiFi.
Deslikes- persistently pungent smell in the hallways and staircase. Needs to be addressed! My 3rd visit in the past 4yrs and will not be staying there In my next visit, smell was so much worse this time around!!!
Huge sum of money went missing and management was going to investigate and get back to me but that didn't happen.

Quite courteous staff. The hotel is quite and in a serene environment. Had my breakfast by the poolside
Verified traveler
World class facility and world class services; but the management need to restrict non-guest from roaming building. Restaurant meal can also use more variety.
Overall it’s 10/10 in terms of world standard, cleanliness, and service.
Probably the best hotel (this very facility in Benin City) in Benin City and in Edo State. I can also say it’s one of the best hotel (I mean this very facility in Benin City) in the country (Nigeria)

Juliana
SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE STAY WITH EXTREMELY RUDE STAFF
The hotel its was nice however, the front desk staff were extremely rude and made it an uncomfortable stay. Some days we skipped breakfast just to avoid the staff. They made unnecessary calls to the rooms. They need customer service training. The hotel had no orange juice available for breakfast or ever. Almost every item in the menu for room service was never available.
Juliana
Pleasantly Surprised
I was pleasantly surprised. Rooms are nice and clean. Lacking good customer service, some of the staff are rude but that’s typical African standard. Need better variety for the breakfast Buffett.
HKO
nice neat and quiet. Great customer servive. Great varieties of nice foods
Efe
It was enjoyable
Verified traveler
Was really frustrating on arrival they didn’t have a record of my payment on Travelocity. I had to call Travelocity while standing at the counter after more than 30 hours of travel for them to resolve it. They had insisted I payed again and asked for my credit card which I refused.
AB
Great place for travelers to relax and feel safe. Power from grid goes off several times a day, but standby power generators kick in and keeps the lights and AC going. Gym equipment needs attention
OsagieOsagie
Very good experience
Hotel should pay attention to detail on the bathroom especially the floor edges where dirt build ups are very pruned to settle.
Verified traveler
Nice stay, cool hotel and very receptive staff. I will stay again. Every bit of our stay was loved
Mary
Clean and safe
The location is excellent because it’s very close to police headquarters and also close to Benin Airport . it’s owned by Marriotts so the service is better than any other hotel I found in Benin.Good selection of room service and although I swam in the pool every day it is a bit smaller than what the pictures depict.I would definitely stay here again if I travel to Benin
Mary
Clean and safe
I liked the location because it was very Close to The police headquarters in Benin. The room was clean and the pool, although small was nice to Swim in. This is the best hotel in Benin that you can find! Because It is a Marriott brand so they have higher standards. I would definitely stay here again.
