3-star hotels in Abuja
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Abuja, drawn from guest ratings out of 5 and review counts, for travellers who want a comfortable base in Nigeria's capital without going up to the top star categories.
Staying in Abuja
Abuja mixes cultural and natural attractions with a growing nightlife and dining scene. Aso Rock is the city's landmark monolith, Millennium Park and the Jabi Lake area provide open-air recreation, and the National Children's Park and Zoo and the Arts and Crafts Village are popular stops. The city is generally safe and well-maintained, with more than 1,300 hotels listed on our site and an average guest score of 3.9 out of 5.
These 3-star hotels sit across several districts named in their addresses. Wuse appears twice, with Phoenicia Suites on Cape Town Street and Iris Hotel on Lingu Crescent, while Garki, Asokoro and Guzape each host one. Distances to the centre range from 0.2 kilometres for Ptd Hotels to 10 kilometres for The Capital. The mix suits couples on a short break, families needing cots and family rooms, and business travellers who want meeting rooms and a 24 hour front desk.
