Honest note: pet-friendliness here means travelers mention bringing pets to these properties. Hotels change policies, add fees and restrict room types without updating every listing site. A two-minute call before booking beats a refused check-in.

Before you book: pet policies change often and vary by property -- always confirm the current pet policy directly with the hotel before booking.

Make the stay smooth

Bring the dog's bed or a familiar blanket, food and water bowls, and something that smells like home. Feed on the usual schedule, walk before you go out for the evening, and keep the do-not-disturb sign up when the dog is in the room so housekeeping does not get a surprise.

What to ask the front desk

Pet fee -- nightly or flat? Both exist, and the number varies wildly; confirm in writing before you book.
Any size or breed rules? Weight caps around 25--35 kg are common, and some breeds are excluded outright.
Pet limit per room? Usually two; beyond that you need a direct yes from the property.
Unattended in the room? Usually not allowed -- sort your sightseeing around the dog, or ask about local sitters.
Where is the relief spot? You want to know this before the 11pm walk, not during it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave my dog alone in a hotel room in Lagos?

Do pet-friendly hotels charge extra in Lagos?

Usually, yes -- expect a nightly pet fee or a flat cleaning fee. Get the exact amount confirmed before booking; it varies widely.
