Escape to Paradise: Abuja's Tranquil Mews Hotel Awaits!
Escape to Paradise: Abuja's Tranquil Mews Hotel Awaits! - A Humorous & Honest Review (Buckle Up!)
Okay, folks, lemme tell you, finding a truly tranquil oasis in the bustling city of Abuja can feel like searching for a unicorn that also offers decent Wi-Fi. But, against all odds, I think I actually stumbled upon one: Escape to Paradise: Abuja's Tranquil Mews Hotel Awaits! Now, before you roll your eyes and think "another PR fluff piece," hear me out. I'm gonna be brutally honest, warts and all. Because let's be real, perfection is boring.
First Impressions (and the Initial Panic):
Pulling up, the "mews" part is definitely accurate. It's a little tucked away, which, frankly, is a HUGE plus in chaotic Abuja. The exterior? Clean, nothing groundbreaking, but definitely not falling apart. Security seemed solid – CCTV cameras are everywhere, which, as a solo traveler prone to dropping my phone and generally being a klutz, gave me some peace of mind. There's even a 24-hour doorman. Now, the real test, however, was getting inside during the height of the pandemic. Thankfully, they seem to take their hygiene seriously.
Cleanliness and Safety – My Germaphobe Self Approved (Mostly):
Okay, the sanitizing situation? Impressive. They've got the whole "anti-viral cleaning products," "daily disinfection in common areas," "rooms sanitized between stays" thing down pat. And there's hand sanitizer everywhere, even in the elevators. Staff wore masks religiously, and I saw them wiping down everything constantly. Honestly, it's almost too clean. My inner slob felt a little judged! (Just kidding, mostly.) They even had a professional-grade sanitizing service, which, I’m assuming, means they weren’t just using bleach and hoping for the best. I saw them washing the cutlery too, with sterilized kitchen and tableware. I think I'd opt for room sanitization opt-out, knowing me.
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Sadly
This is where things get a little…complicated. The elevator is a godsend for accessibility. But, while they boast "facilities for disabled guests," I couldn't get great firsthand insight. I'm leaning towards the assumption that some areas might pose challenges. I'd recommend calling ahead and asking specific questions if accessibility is a primary concern.
Rooms: Wi-Fi Nirvana & Other Perks (and Quirks!)
The rooms themselves are…comfortable. The biggest selling point? FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS! And it’s actually decent Wi-Fi. I could stream Netflix without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. (A serious travel hazard, trust me.) The rooms included: air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, desk, extra long beds, safe box, mirror, non-smoking, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers, smoke detector, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, and a window that opens. It's worth it all for a good night's rest.
However, things weren't perfect. Let's just say my first room's bathroom had a…minor plumbing issue (a slow drip, nothing dramatic). But the staff were on it immediately. Seriously, within minutes, someone was there fixing it. That kind of responsiveness goes a long way in my book. And the blackout curtains? Absolute game-changers for catching up on that precious sleep! I also appreciated the little touches, like the complimentary bottled water and the in-room safe.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking – My Stomach's Unfiltered Opinion:
Okay, the food. This is where Escape to Paradise truly shines. They've got a restaurant that serves everything. Buffet in restaurant? Check. A la carte? Check. Asian Cuisine? Check. Western Cuisine? Check. Salad, Soup, Desserts…I will eat it all!
- Breakfast: The breakfast buffet was a sight to behold! They've got the usual suspects (eggs, bacon, pastries), but also some really interesting local dishes. The Asian breakfast was interesting and they served some international cuisine.
- Lunch and dinner: I ate at the restaurant…often. The international cuisine was well-prepared and tasty. The staff were friendly, and the service was efficient.
- Happy Hour! A mandatory feature in my book!
Now, they don't have a Michelin-starred chef, but the food is definitely above average, and the overall experience is enjoyable. The poolside bar is also a perfect touch.
Relaxation & Things To Do – Pamper Me, Please!
This is where the "Paradise" part really comes into play. They have a full-blown spa! I've never really indulged in those treatments before, so this was a whole new experience. I couldn't help myself, and I had:
- Sauna
- Steamroom
- Massage
- Body wrap: Honestly, I felt like a mummy, but a relaxed mummy!
- Foot bath
It was pure, unadulterated bliss. If you're looking to de-stress, this is the place. They will also provide any kind of alternative arrangement.
Services and Conveniences – Beyond the Basics:
- Concierge: Helpful and friendly!
- Daily housekeeping: My room was always spotless.
- Laundry service & Dry cleaning.
- Cash withdrawal: Handy for those moments when you realize you're out of Nigerian Naira.
- Car Park
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer: Absolutely invaluable in Abuja traffic.
- Taxi service: Easy to arrange.
- Free, On-site Car Park: Perfect, if you drove yourself.
For the Kids – My (Childless) Opinion:
They have babysitting service, and kids facilities, so it's definitely family friendly.
The Takeaway:
Escape to Paradise is not perfect. But it's a genuinely enjoyable hotel in a city that can be… challenging. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the amenities are top-notch. The Wi-Fi is a lifesaver, the food is good, and the spa is divine.
My honest advice? Book it! They’ll make it a memorable experience. You've earned a little bit of paradise, even in Abuja. It's not just a hotel; it's an experience.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into me and Abuja, and trust me, it's not going to be smooth sailing. This is less a meticulously crafted itinerary and more a… well, a collection of things that I did, felt, and probably regretted a little (or a lot) in the beautiful, chaotic heart of Nigeria. Let's go!
The Tranquil Mews Hotel Debacle (and Delight)
First things first: the hotel. Tranquil Mews in Abuja. Sounds… serene, right? Lies! Okay, maybe not lies, but definitely a generous interpretation of the word.
Arrival - 3 PM, Day 1: Oh, the Humidity! (And the Rude Bellhop)
Stepping off the plane at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport was like walking into a damp, giant hug. 100% humidity, people. My carefully constructed hair (which I’d spent hours on) immediately resembled a startled poodle. Finding a cab to the hotel was an adventure in itself. Haggling is an art form here, and I, apparently, am a clumsy amateur. Finally, after what felt like an eternity in a baking tin, we arrived. And the bellhop? Let's just say he seemed less inclined to help with my luggage, mostly because he was glued to his phone. Seriously, the lack of customer service was a bit of a shock. I was hot, bothered, and already questioning my life choices.
The Room - 4 PM, Day 1: Okay, This Might Be… Okay.
The room was… well, it was a room. Cleanish. The AC worked, which after that airport baptism was a Godsend. The view? Let's call it "urban charm," which is code for "a concrete jungle." I did, however, find a small, half-eaten mango on the table; a rogue gift from a previous guest, perhaps? And that, my friends, perked me up considerably! That Mango saved my whole mood.
Dinner - 7 PM, Day 1: Jollof Rice and Regret? Nah, Just Jollof.
I'd heard so much about Nigerian Jollof Rice. "The best in the world!" the internet declared. "Fight me!" proclaimed enthusiastic online warriors. Well, the hotel restaurant's version… it was good. A little spicy. A whole lot of delicious. I ate until I thought I might explode. Then, I had another plate. My stomach growled in protest, but my tastebuds celebrated. No regrets!
Sleep - 10 PM, Day 1: Mosquitoes and Noisy Neighbors The AC was a lifesaver but the night that followed was not. Mosquitoes invaded my room and the neighbors were extremely noisy. The hotel walls were thinner than a politician promise. I lay awake, feeling a primal urge to shout.
Breakfast - 8 AM, Day 2: Buffet Bonanza – and a Broken Coffee Machine.
The breakfast buffet? Glorious chaos! A glorious, slightly disorganized chaos. Pancakes that were either too fluffy or burnt to a crisp. A fruit selection that looked suspiciously like it had been there for a month. But the coffee? Oh, sweet mercy, they were out to kill me. At their very best, the coffee was watery. The machine was broken and spewing out a concerning brown liquid and at their lowest? Well, I wouldn't even like to talk about it. I managed to scavenge a tiny cup of instant coffee.
Day 2: Recharging. After the coffee fiasco, I had to leave the hotel and recharge myself. I spent it roaming around the city; it was full of colours and it was like nothing I have seen.
Day 3: The Pool - A Brief but Memorable Affair. Okay, so the pool wasn’t the oasis of tranquility I’d envisioned. There were kids. Loud kids. Splashing, diving, running, and generally having the time of their lives. I, on the other hand, felt like a grumpy old woman in a swimsuit. Still, the water was cool, the sun was warm, and I managed to squeeze in a solid hour of people-watching before retreating to the relative peace of my room.
Departure - Day 4: Goodbye, Abuja (and my sanity?) Checking out? A battle. The bill was wrong. The bellhop was MIA (again!). But hey, at least the humidity had eased off. As I said goodbye to the hotel, I felt somewhat relieved, and yet, a little sad. It was an experience, for sure.
The Abuja Adventures (The Bits I Remember):
- The National Mosque and National Christian Centre: Both majestic and humbling. The sheer scale of the buildings left me speechless, and I, usually a chatterbox, was struck silent by the beauty and the history.
- Millennium Park: A welcome dose of greenery, though even there the heat was relentless. I managed to get a few decent photos, even if I was sweating like a marathon runner. The park's atmosphere was perfect.
- The Art Market (I Can't Remember Which One): Wow! The colors! The energy! The bartering (which I was told was a must) was an absolute blast. I came away with more souvenirs than I have space for, and a newfound respect for the art of negotiation.
- The Traffic: Oh, the traffic! I spent more time stuck in congestion than I care to admit. But even that was a spectacle, a swirling kaleidoscope of cars, hawkers, and life, all vying for space in a chaotic ballet.
Food, Glorious Food (and the occasional tummy rumble):
- Suya – A Must-Try: I ate so much Suya. Grilled meat, covered in spices…heaven!
- The Street Food: Was I supposed to eat street food? Probably not, but I did. And most of the time, I loved it. The okpa I got on the streets was heavenly.
- The Hotel Food (Again): Surprisingly good, if a little inconsistent. The Jollof – still the star!
The Verdict:
Abuja? Messy. Beautiful. Frustrating. Exhausting. Unforgettable. Would I go back? Absolutely. Next time, armed with better haggling skills, a stronger stomach, and a healthy dose of patience. And maybe, just maybe, I'll bring my own mosquito net.
