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.

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.

Blowfish No

Booked to stay at the Blowfish on arrival was informed that they were fully booked and was moved to their sister hotel Vertigo; which would've have been fine until I heard the club thumping above me at 2am when I was trying to sleep. Breakfast at Vertigo was poor, great views tho. If you love clubbing 24/7, then Blowfish & Vertigo is for you.
