I would like to express my satisfaction with my recent stay in 3J´s Hotels & Apartments.
The room was clean, and the room service staff were generally very courteous and friendly.
However, I would especially like to highlight one particular staff member, whose name, if I recall correctly, is Josiah.
He demonstrated an exceptional level of kindness, professionalism, and helpfulness throughout my stay.
He was always available whenever I needed assistance and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everything was satisfactory.
I would strongly encourage 3J´s Hotels & Apartments to recognize his outstanding efforts, perhaps through a small bonus (20,000 Naira), as he has truly earned it.
Josiah represents 3J´s Hotels & Apartments values in an exemplary manner and continually provides a level of service that exceeds expectations.
Es hat mir gar nichts gefallen. Das Zimmer ist abgewohnt und gammelig. Das Badezimmer dreckig. Es richt grauenhaft nach einem undefinierbaren Mittel. Die Aircondition ist unbrauchbar.
Do me a favour and spend your money elsewhere. Booked a room for 2 persons, with breakfast buffet included, but when we had to eat breakfast it was only for one person, never said that on the reciept from Expedia. Staff was slightly rude and ignorant. The pool is made for midgets (sorry) you cant even take a swim in it. The maintenance of the hotel is poor and we even got upgraded to a suite, we had to share a towel and a bathrope, as they only give out for 1 person?!. Food was not that great either, so i would recommend to find another hotel

Great value for money spent. I will use them again anything am in Abuja. I enjoyed every moment I spent. Thanks to Expedia for linking me to 3J's Hotel Limited.

You get what you pay for
There was quite a bit of confusion about my booking which was very quickly rectified by the manager. Any problems were professionally sorted out by the very keen manager, who would do anything to make you have a good stay. Overall all staff were very respectful and happy to see you once you walked through the doors. One more thing to add to your already excellent hotel is live shows. It's too dire in the evenings with nothing much going on. maybe suggestions of live bands or live entertainement please.
Bra Hotell med hyggelige ansatte. Badet i rommet trenger litt arbeid, eller ganske bra generelt sett!

OK hotel til business brug.
3J's hotel er hyggeligt og rimeligt velfungerende - absolut ikke europæisk 4-stjerne kvalitet, men til prisen kan det sagtens anbefales. Meget venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Hvis man spiser i restauranten skal man væbne sig med tålmodighed - de tager evigheder om selv de simpleste retter.

24 hour room service and laundry
I paid for Executive Suite on Expedia. They put me in the Classic/cheapest room they have and lady at check-in insisted that's what I'll get unless I produce a receipt that specifically states the amount I paid. I checked into the cheap room which was unsatisfactory. After expensive telephone calls back to Expedia and sister back in the US liaising, finally was able to show an electronic receipt to the manager and got moved to the right room. The experience left a bad taste in the mouth and I was thankful I'd only paid for 5 nights instead of the 15 nights I'll be here. I changed hotels, yesterday, on Day 5. The ordinary staff in housekeeping, security and room service are extremely nice but the hotel admin needs work. Also didn't care for the 3-channels-only TV -- no international news, no sports channels. Overall 3.5 out of 6, purely for the friendly support staff and large size of the executive room. Price is reasonable.
Lovely simple quiet hotel, good base for business with fast wifi. Had its problems, but good breakfast, firm bed and good staff

Not sure I would stay at 3J's again....
I stayed my first time in 3J's Abuja earlygFebruary. While a bit rough around the edges, the staff were friendly, the bed nice, the food fairly good, and the room was quiet.
This time, the reception was very nice. I had upgraded to a deluxe room. Unfortunately, it was on the 3rd floor and very noisy.The room faced on the back looking hidown on the pool and bar. I arrived around noon and by 15.00 it was so noisy, with shouting, and roustabouting in the pool, music blaring that I could not concentrate without headphones. The food at dinner (each night was not good - service wasn't great either. I had no water for a shower my second night, which, really was unacceptable. The room was noisy each night, noise in the hall, noise in the back. Not pleasant at all.
The problem is that this was during a business week and the hotel sells itself as a business hotel. To have so much noise and partying every night was very distracting to me on business. I doubt very seriously I will be back and I do not recommend 3J's for the business traveller unless it tightens up its guest rules.
My room in 3J's Abuja was pretty basic.The bed was big, nice, mattress firm, the way I like it. The air conditioner worked, excellent in the 37C weather. I arrived from London very early. The breakfast buffet was good, nothing fancty, but, good. The staff were friendly, and, once they knew you, extremely accommodatiing.
The hotel is a little island in Abuja - once accepted as a resident, everyone if very friendly and helpful, from the desk staff to the restaurant. It is pretty basic, but, good for the business traveller.
The hotel has a good standard, although the bathroom is not the best shape (poor lights and occasional bugs, poor drainage).
The swimming pool is very small, not really for swimming.
Breakfast is nigerian style.

Run-down, basic hotel
The staff are generally really friendly, and it's secure but - Intermittent hot water, restaurant staff actually irritated when I wanted to put my dinner bill on my room, bar was dark like a nightclub even in the middle of the day, the place was just crumbling, some of it looked like it had been a building site for years, wifi not good enough for work or Skype calls.
Hotel was very nice for the price. The staff was very attentive and made everything from the check in to the check out an easy process. The food in the restaurant was good and available through room service 24 hours. I would definitely stay here again.
