Finding modern but cheap hotels in Iyana Ipaja can be a bit of a task. In the middle of February, around mid-day, I was drenched in sweat and overwhelmed with the classic Lagos noise. In the midst of this, I was confronted with the need to think and to find and choose a place to stay at Iyana Ipaja.
Imagine spending endless minutes running into hours while trying to make a decision about where to stay? Look at me and impulse traveling from Johannesburg, South Africa! I am now in the middle of a madly busy highway called Lagos – Abeokuta Expressway; Nigeria’s busiest freeway and one of Africa’s largest road networks! Hungry, slapped by the sun, and beaten by noise from all corners. I surrendered to an old lady selling fruits at the edge of the highway. As I crushed my apples under her makeshift umbrella post, I explored the heart of Iyana Ipaja with wide eyes. Looking back and forth, I found a towering building farther enough from the frenzy of the bus stop’s market center but also close enough to it. I immediately decided this is where I will spend my time. I ended up spending two weeks at New Travelers Lodge & Suite and I was not disappointed by my host. In this post, I will share 10 reasons why you should also consider New Travelers Lodge & Suite when you are on a budget trip to Lagos.
