This museum was founded in 1957 by English Archeologist Kenneth Murray. The museum is located just by the boundary between Lagos Island and Ikoyi separated by the popular Onikan round about. The museum is surrounded by very monumental buildings of great historical value which includes the former senate building, house of representatives building, The Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Lawn Tennis Club, BRT park, The Muson Center, City Mall, former Ecowas secretariat, Zone 2, Onikan Stadium, The Lagos State government house, Remembrance Tunnel, the Army remembrance Arcade, one of the 1st public swimming pool (now closed) and the new Lagos State Museum (under construction). The museum has Nigerian art, including pieces of statuary carvings, archaeological and ethnographic exhibits. I prefer taking a tour with the tour guard because they tell you everything about the museum. I had a wonderful time. I grew up around the museum so I have been there countless times, I visited the museum too a lot of times since I moved away from there. Overall, it is was a wonderful experience. I would go back anytime, any day. The fee is just a token. No pre appointment required. The museum has a very spacious compound that can be used for picnics, group gatherings etc. There is ample parking space. The area is one of the safest in Nigeria.

Was nice going back there after so many years. I particularly liked the tour on the traditional ways of how things where don in the past from birth to death. Well organized. Unfortunately one can't take photos in there which is cool because it makes you want to know what is actually in there. I enjoyed it.

An excellent place for Nigeria history.

The environment is beautiful with some large playground or picnic area for children and adults . I even saw some children come in for excursion. If you're a picture freak like me, I'm sorry but no camera is allowed inside the building. But you can snap outside. The gate fee is 200 naira which I think is super fair. I didn't get to enter inside though cos I was late for an event but I will surely go another time. From what I saw , it's a good place for art lovers and adventurous people.

We can do better! The museum can be stocked with more exciting stuff. The ongoing art exhibition saved the day

One of the biggest hotels in the city of Eket with lots of rooms. They have most of the facilities you need in a regular hotel such as swimming pool, business centre and halls for hire. It is located close to the coast so very fresh air and good place to sit out. Good parking space is available.

They have some fascinating ancient artefacts. We were not allowed to take any pictures inside. I think the place also needs an upgrade

It's a fairly good place to reminisce about the history of Nigeria. The monoliths from Cross River are very real, although the tour guides don't have much to say about them No cameras allowed inside the museum building, and there's a gate fee of N300 for Nigerian adults, N500 for foreign adults, then N200 for kids.

The place is not as fun field as I remembered it back in the days.

Lovely and nice place

I read about it in my primary school days.

National Museum is the perfect exposition of the history of Nigeria and its diverse cultural heritage. The museum was constructed in 1957. It showcases the works of art dating back to the era before Nigeria got independence. The museum narrates the story of the journey of Nigeria through the years. The Nigerian National Museum displays historical monuments and contemporary arts such as Nok Terracottas, brasses from Benin City, etc. One of the significant historical monuments you will find at the museum is the bullet-riddled car in which Nigeria’s former Head of State, Late General Murtala Mohammed was assassinated in 1976. The Nigeria National Museum is located at Awolowo Road, opposite Muson Centre, Onikan, Lagos Island

For the location, this hotel was pretty decent with prompt customer service. The stairs could be a chore but just a two storey building. The rooms were quite spacious. Loved that the AC was already on and rooms so chilled each day. Was a great place to hang out with friends over drinks by the pool which had no water in it by the way. Given the limited hotel options in this location, Eden hotel comes up top notch!

Food orders arrive late. Internate in the rooms are fluctuating. No standing shower in room 633. Occupant bath with bucket. Guest cannot watch their favorite T. V. Channels. Meals served without fruits sometimes. Some of the receptionists are not receptive(No curtesy). Delays in picking up cloths for laundry.

First of all this place needs renovation. Great rooms though, great food

Nice, cozy ,ambience ,well equiped and down to earth ,i was especially thrilled with their exceptional cuisine . Their poolside is beautiful and the hotel is very spacious, indeed its a place to to be.

Nice hotel in Eket that has stood the test of time and still maintained standard

Excellent service, amazing staff. I had a wonderful stay and will always come back to rest when the need arises again. Thank you

Very polite and nice staff. But hotel needs to fumigate rooms more often to rid insects. Also, they could increase their room service staff.

Serene environment. Nice reception. Security is top notch.

Eden Hotel is located on the Marina Road in Eket, its a good hotel with room for Improvement. The Improvement should be in the Areas of Power, Bath Plumbing, and Room Service. Overall, the enviroment is cool and the staffs are super friendly and always ready and willing to help.

Nice.

Great services but poor food

It is a wonderful place to be

Terrible wifi speed.. My preferred channel not available on TV.

Horrible manager....very rude and unprofessional. Lacked courtesy and should absolutely not work in the hospitality industry. In terms of utilities, the hotel is clearly a 3 star hotel by Nigerian standards. Had a pool but pool was very dirty. Seemed like water hasn't been changed in years. Food is over priced but quite tasty. You may want to carry cash as a second option after card because they don't accept wired transfers.

Cool and serene environment. Spacious rooms and basic facilities. Staff are friendly and courteous. Occasional power outage when changing from mains to generator and otherwise. Outage can last few minutes when changing to Generator. The meal is great. I really enjoyed their pounded yam and the fisherman's soup. It is rich in ingredients especially the fresh fish, prawns and periwinkle all floating in okra base. Though, it typically takes about 40minutes to get any food you ordered. The meal is served hot. So, you have to consider this and ensure you order you food before the pangs of hunger sets in.

As long as you stay away from the jollof or fried rice here, you're assured of an awesome meal. The fisherman soup, especially, was AMAZING. The rooms were clean and room service was prompt, although staff had a habit of tipping themselves by not remitting my change. The hotel needs to work on its heating system, to ensure that guests have a steady supply of hot water. The morning after my first night, I had to wait 30 minutes to take a bath cos the taps weren't running and even when that was resolved, the hot tap only issued lukewarm water during the three days I spent in the hotel.

beautiful

An amazing place to be

Took 2 days to get my laundry back. Place order for food way ahead of time.

Amazing

Their customer service is the worst ever encountered in my life!! The very worst!! Their staffs are rude, mannerless and reluctant! It's like they dislike seeing customers! Jeez!

Great service and comfort

Cool

The National museum is old but definitely has good potential and still provided some valuable insights into some aspects of Nigeria's history, customs and traditions. Unfortunately taking of pictures within the museum itself isn't allowed, hence the lack of pictures here. A visit there starts off with a walk through the courtyard (after paying a N300 entry fee) and its scattering of a few displays of artwork and information boards, followed by a walk through the interior area which turns out to be much more expansive than it appears from the outside. The interior contains a sizable display of different artifacts from several Nigerian tribes. It's mostly a self-guided tour (I.e. no tour guide) but most of the arts on display have small signs attached to them providing basic information about each artifact. With some investment to make the place a bit more modern and lively, the museum has potential to be a very good tourist attraction.

Was fun here at museum center onikan

It was nice visiting the National Museum@Lagos today. Although the buildings are old but Nigerian art traditions are alive. (I saw the Muritala Muhammed Mercedes Benz with bullet holes, I saw the Igbo Ukwu art, Nok Art, Benin and Ife art.

It's okay

Unkempt!

Good

Great place to be

Place to visit

I won't go again

It was awesome

Not functioning due to covid 🤬

Worth visiting

Not in good shape

A place to visit for some Nigerian history.

Educative.

Not properly organised.

Historical place

Sad

👍🏽

Great

A place to be

It needs so much renovation, and the tour guides need to be more proactive

It's old and no renovation is made there. you meet the same thing year in year out

Satisfactory

In terms of history it's wonderful but the environment is nothing to talk about. I remember when I was very much younger that place was a beauty to embrace. I loved going there because of the playground but now it's all dead. It's just the museum that's still cool.

Its okay, but improvement needs to be done

And art heaven to visit and explore, but this national treasure needs renovations to make it more attractive and innovative.

Nice place with good views

Got to see Muritala Mohammed's car and other historical things

Contains some artifacts and cultural history. You should go visit some time.

Has a lot of history to share, very rich in culture.

Can't take pictures of the artifacts.

Fair enough experience. About an hour or less for the tour

My room was very cosy and neat

Still holds it down after long existence. Management is top notch

It was a nice experience so far, their services is awesome. The rooms are eloquent.

Serene environment and excellent services

The management need to upgrade on the maintenance & cleanliness of their facilities & guest rooms respectively. ☺️

Nice place with adequate security. Polite staff and average food. Cozy rooms and reasonable prices.

The environment was nice and their conference hall and restroom were nice and clean

The hotel is classic. I are their fisherman's soup and I loved it.

One of the best service out there

A very nice place to Lodge , i enjoyed the pool view from my room....

Well suited environment, with well of best staff services rendered

Amazing hotel in the city of Eket. I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel; my room was cozy and beautiful, the food was great, and I liked the poolside especially at night.

Very spacious, neat and useful rooms and pieces of furniture. For the price of my room, I expected more. There wasn't a hanger in my nice wardrobe. Being fair enough, I enjoy the reception I get there however some other works aren't as professional as expected. Food is good too, my wife and I enjoyed their afang and vegetable soups.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, very professional and friendly staff, 247 light, neat pool and a beautiful sit out. If you are looking for tranquility and luxury, Eden Hotel Ltd is your hotel.

Nice view from the outside, though i didn't get in

Services so amazing❤️❤️ good and friendly staffs with great rooms and recreational centers

A four star hotel located at a seren environment of eket
