DON GULL Lagos Reviews from The Last Year
Very disappointing stay at Tivoli Lagos
Disappointing stay at Tivoli Lagos. Despite booking and paying for an XL double room, we were given a twin upon arrival. The hotel claimed no other double rooms were available in the same category, yet offered a smaller double for an additional nightly charge. This felt like a blatant attempt to increase revenue, especially considering the premium paid for the original booking (+1000 euro). The way they handled this and blame they placed on me as the booker ('for not sending a special request for a double bed') was frustrating. I would warn other bookers about this hotel & their practices in advance and will not stay in a Tivoli hotel again.
My birthday
I had my birthday during my stay, the hotel sent me a card and an invitation. I was happy about this and the hotel in general (it was quiet, clean, the bed was comfortable, and the room was dark, nice food, kind staff). Thanks Tivoli Lagos, see you soon.
Lovely hotel in a great location
This was a last minute booking for us having previously chosen a more expensive option. We are so pleased we made the change. This is a lovely hotel right in the heart of Lagos town making everything easily accessible. It's a rambling and quirky hotel, clean and well presented. The staff are very friendly. A massive shout out to Ines, thank you for making our holiday! We would definitely stay again.
Definitely not a 4-star Hotel by any means.
Negative: -Rooms are very old and do not look anything like the photos on the website. -Rooms are quite dirty (some mold in the ensuites and some dirt on the walls). -Hotel is very sprawling - can take a really long time to get to your room taking multiple sets of stairs and elevators- (A nightmare for anyone with mobility issues) -Cleaning staff looked absolutely miserable, not one of them smiled or said hello. Positive: -Great location for exploring Lagos. -Aircon quite cool and strong. -Comfortable beds. -Breakfast buffet was quite impressive. -The petite lady who welcomes everyone to the breakfast buffet was a breath of fresh air - She was always friendly and smiling all the time. Over-all we felt this place is an expensive 3-star hotel marketed as something more upscale when it is not.
Return Visit
Last time I was at the Tivoli Lagos was 15 years ago so my expectations were pretty high. Overall it was a great stay, staff were excellent, room was spotless and the breakfast had everything you could want. Visited the beach club a couple of times and loved it. The location of the hotel is excellent, walking distance to everything. Couple of things the exterior of the hotel needs painting and the entrance needs power washing. It’s a shame as it gives the wrong impression. The decking round the pool area needs attention and the pool has tiles missing.
Lovely place
What a pleasant surprise this hotel was! It reminds me of a Moorish palace that had had a hotel added on. The hotel is quite odd in the way the rooms are kind of packed into wings and levels that are very confusing. Our room was on the bottom floor with a balcony looking out into the garden. The room was totally updated. The outdoor pool is beautiful. It is surrounded with levels of wooden patios and lots of loungers and lovely plants. There is a bar by the pool. We never looked at the indoor pool. The included breakfast was really good. In a beautiful setting with a great variety of breakfast choices. Location was great. Close to the marina and lots of shops and restaurants.
Disappointing and not wheelchair friendly.
The score reflects our experience. Before we had made our booking , we read the reviews and contact the hotel regarding being wheel chair friendly and accessible. What we experienced was something different . The accessible room is poorly designed and the bathroom not fit for a wheelchair user. We were moved to another room , but this was no better. To enter and exit the hotel on foot we had to go down to the garage and then up a small ramp for vehicles. The pool area has a ramp to the pool area but it is rammed with sun beds, so every time we wanted a sun bed we had to ask people to make way. The pool area needs attention as it does not look like the hotel website. Breakfast is ok and nothing special, again tables on top of each other. Lunch menu is limited and to be fair overpriced. Would I recommend this hotel to people with mobility issues, the simple answer is NO. I did raise my concerns with a hotel manager , but was fobbed off.
Over rated
This hotel is a craze maze you have to memorize your way to the room, take 2 different elevators and go through one flight of stairs in between!!!! It’s very hard when you’re tired from a long trip and have to carry your own luggage because they don’t offer service!!!
Average hotel, but pictures is a complete lie!
The room size, breakfast and service is alright… But please be aware that the pictures of the hotel is complete fraud! Out of the first 10 pictures there are 2 pictures of a beautiful pool next to the beach. However, the hotel is more than 10 min. by car away from this beach. Furthermore, the pictures is outdated and today the pool is worn down and have zero charm (see attached pictures)
Average....over graded
Having visited this hotel previously, and really enjoying our stay ,we were really looking forward to our visit. I will first focus on the positives; Excellent location near to everything in Lagos. Great staff, customer service, porterage to room. Excellent breakfasts. Great to have a late checkout time for room,allowing us to store baggage before pick up. Clean comfy room. Negatives; Coffee machine/mini bar in room Great but charges 1 euro 50 for 1 Coffee pod,and overpriced mini alcohol bottles ( none of which we used). Housekeeping missed in our room one of our days, needed to ring reception late at night on return to get clean towels,bedding. On checkout,to our dismay, we're told we had used 6 Coffee pods ! Had not used any,as bought our own instant coffee/travel kettle etc. Had to plead with several at reception, whom eventually waived any charges! Finally, on arrival ,we were shown to our standard room, which was crazily so far away up many dark corridors, lots of stairs, uneven surfaces, and I had told hotel I had mobility probs. We were promptly moved to a closer, more suitable room having to pay extra to upgrade..so people booking with mobility issues, do not book a standard room!!! To sum up, graded a 4 star, I would say more 3 star.
Great Hotel Central to Lagos
Fully enjoyed our 4 night trip to the Tivoli Lagos Hotel, only wished now we had booked for 7! The hotel is on many levels and there are lots of steps so not so good if you are not good at walking, it is also on an incline from the road below. We unfortunately arrived behind a group of 24 lady golfers so to avoid the lengthy wait to check in we explored and found the bar and pool area.Our room was spacious and very clean, decked out in blue and white it had a mini bar and a balcony. Only thing missing was tea/coffee making facilities which was a big let down for us as we are up early and the restaurant did not open until 7.30 am. Buffet breakfast was great, a very good choice of items and the quality of the food was excellent not sure that the plates provided are big enough though. We enjoyed the use of the indoor swimming pool too cold for the outdoor one unless you are one of the many seagulls that entertained us with their afternoon swims. Lagos and the Tivoli Lagos Hotel went above our expectations and we will be back,
Good value break.
Room 2107 Our experience was overall very good super location 5 mins from main marina and shops and restaurants, room didn't have a view but was clean, spacious and well appointed, lovely bathroom including a bath full-size, very comfy bed, bedding changed after 3 days, small balcony with table and chairs. As mentioned in other reviews the different levels and stairs maybe an issue for the less mobile. Pool area decking certainly needs attention and the seagulls are definitely a major issue claiming the pool for their own and stealing food off plates of those eating outside. To end on a positive breakfast was very good huge choice and evening buffet very good value, happy hour early evening was a bonus. All staff polite and efficient. If we visit lagos again we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Lovely experience
Excellent hotel ,5 minutes walk to the centre ,spotlessly clean in all area's. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I have ever had ,staff very welcoming and friendly.love the idea of a drinks voucher if you decide not to have your cleaned.The only negative was the outdoor pool constantly being full of seagulls! I would highly recommend this hotel ,Well done all at the tivoli
Short stay
Hotel is in an excellent location staff were very friendly from the time we arrived to the time we left.The room allocated to me was very spacious with a very well appointed bathroom and fantastic shower also the bedroom had King size bed which was very comfortable with air conditioning Breakfast Buffet was very good and the evening buffet meal was just ok with limited range of food but very acceptable for what was paid for.I would definitely stay there again.A special mention to Elisa in the restaurant who was so friendly and helpful one of the nicest person you could ever meet a credit to the hotel
Run down needs complete refurbishment
Run down needs complete refurbishment Rooms are 2 star should never be sold as 4 star Plaster falling off everywhere. Pool decking is horrible Water leaking through roof of hotel water on floors Porter who shows you to room just points to door and runs away no help what’s ever And rude Definitely would not recommend to anyone
Good Budget Hotel
The staff were very nice and the actual hotel was rather charming - quite old fashioned but very Portuguese which was lovely. There were pros and cons. Pros - good location, excellent eco initiative if you don't have housekeeping in you get a couple of drinks vouchers in exchange, great portuguese restaurant on site, good location for many golf courses and a safe room for your clubs. Cons, some rooms overlook the carpark, the cupboard doors bang close and when your neighbours do that in the early hours it is very annoying! It would be nice to have robes and as there are a lot of golfers a TV channel that shows golf! Parts of it need some updating, but it looks like work is being done. All in all a good budget hotel with a very good Indian restaurant 'The Curry Leaf' just across the road.
Generally a good place to stay
This hotel gets mixed reviews and I can see why, some parts are excellent some the opposite. By and large out experience, for our needs, was positive. Great location for central Lagos and with car parking. It is quirky, sitting on the side of a hill, there are various buildings built on different levels which can be confusing. I liked that it was almost a throwback to the older styles of Portugal rather than the soulless modern square glass edifices springing up all over the Algarve and Southern Spain. Check in was ok, but being shown to our room was not so much fun when the porter got lost. We had 2 suitcases and 2 golf travel bags to manipulate up stairs and into a small lift. The superior rooms were comfortable, but as others mention €2 per coffee pod used is frankly absurd. No milk provided either. Our superior room had a good view of the car park and the refuse bins. Tivoli, please consider some screening to hide those bins. Staff were generally fine, helpful and cheerful. Breakfast was a good standard buffet but with no changes to the menu over the week we stayed. Some variety would be excellent. Outdoor pool was mainly used by gulls. Finding the indoor pool and gym was an expedition with vague signage. Can't comment on evening meals as we went out but the bar was usually quiet. Quiet that is except for the taped monotone lady vocalist which was constantly played at breakfast and in the evening bar. She made all genres of music into a soporofic dirge. Tivoli please dump this dreary backing music!!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
