Serviced apartments for 2-8 week stays
Cavalli Business Apartments in Lekki Phase 1 is the strongest all-round choice: full kitchens, in-unit washer-dryer, and monthly rates that drop 30-40% off nightly. Belladona Suites in Ikate offers larger units with balconies and works well for families with a school-age child (the international school run is easier from Ikate). Lekki Coliseum Apartments trade newer decor for a less central location in Ikota — fine if you have a car.
For Ikoyi-adjacent stays, BON Hotel Grand Towers and 4 Points Ikoyi Serviced Apartments both do proper long-stay well, including grocery delivery from the concierge. Ask specifically about monthly rates in email; front desk staff rarely quote them unprompted.
Hotels that handle long stays gracefully
Lopez Hotel and the Vine both offer 20-25% discounts from night 15 and will move you to a larger room mid-stay if one opens up. Bature Brewery's boutique rooms are small for long stays but the location and food scene downstairs offset that for a couple weeks. Radisson Blu has a corporate long-stay rate that requires a company code — worth asking your employer for the code rather than booking direct.
Avoid any hotel where the room has no fridge, no kettle, and no drawer space for your clothes — you’ll hate it by night 10. Confirm laundry is priced per item (₦800-₦2,000 per piece) or per bag (₦8,000-₦15,000); the difference over a month is huge. External laundries deliver next-day for half the price.
Good to know
What monthly rate is realistic for a serviced apartment in Lekki?+
$1,800-$3,500 for a well-equipped one-bedroom in Phase 1 or Ikate. Three-bedroom units run $4,500-$7,000. Rates are always negotiable for 30+ nights.
Are there any long-stay options under $1,500 a month?+
Yes, in Agungi, Ikota and Sangotedo. Quality drops significantly and generator reliability becomes the main risk. Short-list only places with recent reviews mentioning power specifically.
