“Omo ibadan kini so?”
As strangers or visitors, That’s a very popular question we ask Indigenes to get them interested in what we are about to say.
When we think about the bright things of Ibadan, we can not help but appreciate God’s natural endowment in that land.
My first travel experience to Ibadan was to attend a Milestone wedding ceremony. If you know the right places and meet the right people, you will fall in love with every bit of this place in Nigeria. I planned to attend the wedding on a Saturday and return to Lagos the next day. But as we had it, I ended up lodging for a whole week!!
One day was not enough for me to explore the wonderful places I have always heard about in Ibadan.
But I came to realize that among the things that delayed my return, the hospitality experience I enjoyed was extraordinary. Although, this took a heavy effect on my debit card. LOL.
Nevertheless, there are indeed amazing hotels and guest houses at Ibadan that are not only pocket friendly but ideal for any type of traveler.
Let’s take a look at some of the best, popular hotels in Ibadan and what they have to offer visitors and Indigenes. Shall we?
