The Editory By The Sea Lagos Hotel

Lagosmar Hotel
"I wasn’t sure what to expect but a bit of a gem right in the middle of town. Its not the Ritz but clean, comfortable, everything worked and, despite quite old, well maintained. Breakfast was well worth €10. For a 2- nighter for hiking, it was absolutely fine."
