Built in the 1920s when Nigeria was under the British, the hotel is an oasis of peace hidden in Tafawa Balewa Rd between Bompai Rd and Murtala Muahammed Way. The beautiful and airy restaurant (chess floor and solid wooden doors) has the sleepy charm of a place that went through so much, and nonetheless is still there. Hausa-owned and managed since a couple of generations, the Hotel the France was built and originally owned by… yes, a French family.

"My stay was amazing and hotel is decent "

Lobby sitting area

"This was the most expensive hotel I paid for during my Northern Nigeria trip. I paid 47 dollars and trust me, it wasn't even worth 50 Kobo. Torn beddings, a rag was offered to me as a towel and you simply can't use the A.C nor the heater till 12 midnight. Fuel issues is the reason given. Majority of the staff were friendly though but the facilities and ambience of the place when you get in is abysmally poor."
