Swiss International Mabisel Port Harcourt

There’s plenty of parking, with private security and law enforcement staff on site around the clock every day. Even the entrance gate is remote-controlled. The hotel itself is big, with over 100 rooms divided into four or five categories for different guests and groups. They’re lovely and clean, though an overnight stay is pricey. It also has event halls in several sizes, with different prices for each.

The security is strict about getting to your room: you need your room card to use the elevator. The interior is nice and there’s enough parking, and the hotel itself is lovely. For food, I’d stick to local dishes. Anything English is a big no. I’d give the kitchen 4/10. It’s a mature hotel too, without young boys (yahoo boys) around.

The staff were friendly and courteous, and the rooms are nicely laid out. Inside, it’s lovely, even though the outside doesn’t look too good. The bathroom needs better maintenance: the drains weren’t working well and the shower sprayed water in every direction. Breakfast left a lot to be desired.

The rooms felt stuffy and humid, and you can’t open the windows because there are no mosquito nets. They were filthy, with dusty surfaces and dirty corners that hadn’t been cleaned properly. The WiFi service was basically nonexistent, which is ridiculous. The food was poor too: the coconut rice didn’t taste of coconut and the fish tasted bad. The staff were polite and nice, but as a corporate client I won’t stay here again.
