FAQs: Serviced apartments in Lagos
What is a serviced apartment in Lagos?
A serviced apartment in Lagos is a fully furnished, self-contained residential unit that includes hotel-style amenities: housekeeping, 24/7 security, backup power, and usually a pool and gym. Unlike regular flats, serviced apartments are designed for flexible stays (monthly+) and target corporate tenants, expatriates, and long-stay visitors. They are more expensive per month than equivalent unfurnished flats but include all amenities.
How much does a serviced apartment cost in Lagos?
It depends on the area, the building, the size of the apartment and how long you stay. Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Eko Atlantic sit at the top of the market; Lekki and Ikeja GRA usually cost less. Most prices include housekeeping, power backup, security and internet, so check exactly what is covered. To see real prices, open a listing: where it has a booking box, choose your dates and it shows the full total before you pay.
What is the difference between a serviced apartment and a short-let in Lagos?
Short-let properties are usually privately owned furnished apartments rented by the night or the week. Serviced apartments are purpose-built or professionally managed blocks offering monthly and longer stays with consistent quality, dedicated management and standard amenities. For stays of a month or more, a managed serviced apartment is often the more reliable choice.
Are serviced apartments in Lagos a good option for expats?
Yes — serviced apartments are the standard choice for newly arrived expatriates in Lagos. They offer: immediate accommodation without a multi-year lease commitment, included power and security (critical in Lagos), a furnished environment while awaiting personal goods, and flexibility to move if your work location changes. Most large employers in Lagos (multinational companies, UN agencies, banks) arrange serviced apartment stays for incoming staff.
Can Nigerian professionals rent serviced apartments in Lagos?
Absolutely — serviced apartments are not only for expatriates. Many Nigerian executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals prefer them for the convenience, security, and included amenities. The growing tech sector in Lagos (particularly in Lekki and VI) has increased demand from younger, higher-income Nigerian professionals who prioritise flexibility and quality of life over square footage.
What areas in Lagos have the most serviced apartments?
Victoria Island and Ikoyi have the highest concentration of premium serviced apartments, catering to the corporate and diplomatic market. Lekki Phase 1 has a growing stock aimed at the tech and diaspora market. Ikeja GRA serves mainland corporate demand. Eko Atlantic (the new development on reclaimed land adjacent to VI) is emerging as a luxury serviced apartment hub.
Can I book a serviced apartment in Lagos online?
Yes, when its listing shows a booking box with dates and a price. Pick your dates, press “Reserve” and pay securely online through Paystack, in naira. Paystack’s payment fee is added to your total and shown before you pay. Cancel before the host’s free-cancellation time and you get back 100% of your booking; refunds reach you within 14 days at most, usually in about 5 days. Paystack’s payment fee is not refunded. A company can book on its business profile, and the stay then shows under that business’s My Stays.
