About Anchor University

Anchor University is a university in Lagos, and visitors to the campus are usually staff, students, prospective applicants and relatives attending ceremonies or open days. Lagos itself is the former capital of Nigeria and retains many historical and cultural landmarks, so a campus visit is often combined with time elsewhere in the city. The climate is tropical, with a wet season from April to October and a dry season from November to March, and temperatures remain warm year-round. Because the university sits in Lagos, accommodation for a campus visit means choosing between the island districts and the mainland. Victoria Island is an upscale commercial and residential area with many international hotels, restaurants and offices, popular with business travelers, while Ikoyi is a quieter, leafy district near Victoria Island, known for its embassies, upscale residences and a few high-end hotels. Lagos Island is the historic heart of the city, with markets, museums and a mix of older and newer hotels. Ikeja, on the mainland, has numerous hotels and is convenient for transit passengers.

Tips for staying near Anchor University

  • Traffic in Lagos shapes every campus trip. If you have a fixed time to reach Anchor University, allow extra room around the journey and consider staying at one of the closest hotels, The Circle Ayobo or Magville Hotel.
  • Rain is heaviest in the wet season from April to October. If your visit falls in those months, a hotel with covered parking such as Diamond Hotel and Suites or White Rose Suites saves a soaking.
  • If you are arriving on a flight into Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, build in time for the drive, since travel time varies with traffic. Ask your hotel about arrival arrangements before you land.
  • Guest scores are worth checking before you commit: The Circle Ayobo rates 5.0 from 3 reviews, while Demeg Hotel And Suites has 237 reviews at 3.9. Book the well-reviewed properties early when the campus has events.
