Luxury Wuse 2 Apartment: Abuja's Best-Kept Secret (5-Star Comfort!)
Luxury Wuse 2 Apartment Review: Abuja's Best-Kept Secret (Maybe…?) – My Brain Dump!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans (and maybe a little bit of my sanity) on the supposedly luxurious Luxury Wuse 2 Apartment in Abuja. They call it a 5-star experience. Okay, let’s see if it's a shimmering diamond… or just a really ambitious cubic zirconia.
Accessibility - The "Almost" Factor:
First off, getting there. Abuja traffic is a beast, so factor in extra time. I'm happy to report they offer Airport Transfer, and the driver… well, he was on time, which is a HUGE win in Abuja! Wheelchair accessibility is something they claim. I didn’t need it personally, but seeing as the hallways weren’t exactly the widest, I’d really recommend checking firsthand if you require it. The elevator is there, thankfully, which is a massive relief considering the (possible) lack of ramp goodness.
Cleanliness & Safety - Gotta Give 'Em Credit:
This is where Luxury Wuse 2 really shines. Like, seriously, they are ON IT. My room was spotless. Seriously, I was practically inspecting every corner because, you know, Abuja. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Professional-grade sanitizing services, and Rooms sanitized between stays… They also clearly train their staff! The paranoia of someone who's "seen some things" immediately started to melt away. Seeing Hand sanitizer everywhere, and staff trained in safety protocols really calmed my nerves. Major props for the effort.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - A Culinary Adventure (Sort Of):
Okay, here's where things get… interesting. They boast a ton of options, but some of them feel… theoretical.
- Restaurants: Yes, plural! They had a few. A la carte, Buffet, Vegetarian, Asian (which I wanted, but it was interesting).
- Coffee/Tea: Available. Thank God.
- Breakfast they called it "Asian breakfast" but it was somewhat bland, even by my standards. I may have requested Breakfast in room, once I had the courage to admit I was lost in the maze of restaurants.
- Room Service: 24-hour. This is a game changer for a weary traveler. Sometimes I just crave a greasy burger at 3 AM.
The Spa & Relaxation - Bliss… or a Promise?
Alright, the spa. This is where I really had high hopes. The possibilities are on point: Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. The Pool with a view was my main goal. I was picturing myself, lounging there, sipping something exotic, and pretending to be a Bond villain. But, it felt… less like a Bond villain's lair and more like a decent hotel pool! The spa services were decent. I got a massage that was… okay. Nothing earth-shattering, but it helped me relax a bit. I would avoid the sauna because it was too quiet.
Services and Conveniences - The Essentials (and Some Extras):
- Concierge: Available, friendly, and helpful to navigate the local craziness.
- Laundry/Dry Cleaning & Ironing service: Thank goodness, this is so helpful.
- Wi-Fi: Okay, this is the real win. They have Free Wi-Fi in all rooms and Wi-Fi in public areas! And it actually worked! Praise the internet gods.
- Business Facilities & Meeting/Banquet Facilities: They're there, if you need them. I, thankfully, did not.
- Other Stuff: Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Luggage storage, Doorman, etc. all there.
Available in All Rooms – The Nitty Gritty (My Safe Place):
Okay, let's get down to the details of the Room, my sanctuary. And frankly, it was pretty damn good. If you're looking for a place to simply collapse, it's perfect!
- Bed: Huge, comfortable, with a extra long bed. I slept like the dead.
- Bathroom: Bathtub and Separate shower/bathtub. They had the basics: complimentary tea, coffee maker, mini bar and bottle of water.
- The Tech: Air Conditioning, Alarm clock, Desk, Internet access – wireless, Internet access – LAN, Laptop workspace, On-demand movies, Satellite/cable channels, Telephone, Wake-up service.
- The Important Stuff: Air conditioning was blasting ice-cold air. Blackout curtains are my best friend at a hotel. In-room safe box, felt secure.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax - Beyond the Pool:
They mention Things to do, but honestly, my main thing was trying not to get lost. Abuja is a maze! I spent some time just enjoying the Terrace outside my room.
For the Kids - Family Friendly? (I Didn't Test This):
Babysitting service, Kids facilities, Kids meals. I didn't have kids with me, but they claim to be family-friendly.
Getting Around & Parking - Easy Peasy (Mostly):
- Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site]: HUGE win! Car park [on-site].
- Airport transfer: See above. Reliable and efficient.
- Taxi service: Easy to find, and a little bit expensive, but, you know, Abuja.
The Verdict - Is it Worth It?
So, is the Luxury Wuse 2 Apartment truly a 5-star experience? Well, it's not perfect. The food could be better. The "Bond villain" vibe is slightly missing. However, the cleanliness, the comfort of the room, the solid Wi-Fi, and the convenience factors really shine.
It's a solid choice, especially for the price. It’s Abuja, so expectation management is key. Is it the best-kept secret? Maybe not. But it's definitely a good option. The staff, the cleanliness, that Air Conditioning, that extra long bed, these things make it worthwhile.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't some sterile travel itinerary, this is a glimpse into ME trying to survive, and maybe even thrive, in Abuja. Specifically, a "comfortable serviced apartment" in Wuse 2. Prepare for a bumpy ride.
Abuja: Operation (Hopefully) Not-a-Disaster
Arrival - Day 1: The Glamour of a Delayed Flight and Questionable Plantains
- Morning (ish): Alright, the flight. Let's just say "Nigerian time" is a thing. My 9 am flight from Lagos turned into… well, let's just say it was lunchtime by the time we were finally airborne. Panic level: Medium. Had to chug three coffees at the airport, which probably didn't help. Grateful for that, though.
- Afternoon: Touchdown at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport. Heat. Intense, humid, "I think my eyebrows are sweating" heat. God bless the air conditioning inside the airport. Finding a reliable taxi to Wuse 2 felt like a combat mission. Negotiation is key. Lost. Got scammed for far too much money, but hey, I'm in Abuja! The apartment check-in was smooth, at least, thank god. The "comfortable serviced apartment" is… well, it is comfortable. Clean, mercifully. The aircon works. Small victories.
- Evening: Okay, food. Crucial. Needed to get some local food fast. Tried a restaurant I was super not prepared for a meal. I asked for plantains, "they were good." I asked for more, "they were the best." The staff made a comment, "I think he [me] likes it."
Day 2: Traffic, Tea, and Trying Not to Sweat Through My Shirt
- Morning: Woke up feeling weird, probably from overeating plantains. Got ready to go out and explore. The traffic. Oh, the traffic. It's a living, breathing, honking monster. Managed to get to a cafe for a cup of tea. Needed the caffeine, and maybe a little therapy.
- Afternoon: Decided to wander. Found a bustling market, the sights, sounds and smells all hit me in the face. Bargaining for souvenirs is, thankfully, a skill I can kind of wield.
- Evening: Back at the apartment. Watched a Nollywood movie. The acting is… enthusiastic. The plot? Vague. But the sheer energy is infectious.
Day 3: The Monumental Task of Finding Nigerian Beer (and a Little Bit of Culture)
- Morning: Needed to find a grocery store. Simple, right? Turns out, "nearby" is a relative term in Abuja. It involved a Keke ride, several wrong turns, and a lot of pointing. The store itself was a revelation – shelves crammed with everything. And finally, I had a taste of my needed "Nigerian beer" after a rough night.
- Afternoon: Visited a cultural center. The art was fantastic and the energy was so welcoming. The whole place was a reminder of how powerful and beautiful creativity can be.
- Evening: Stuck in my apartment, I was tired and overwhelmed. A simple meal of beans and rice. I will drink more of my new found Nigerian beer, to celebrate.
- Night: After my relaxing evening, I was ready to go to sleep. I slept so soundly, for a really long time.
Day 4: The Day I Tried (and Failed) to Be a Fitness Guru
- Morning: Attempted an early morning run around the apartment complex. Let me tell you, the humidity did NOT cooperate. Five minutes in, I was a sweaty, panting mess. Fitness goals: Abandoned. Coffee goals: Still intact.
- Afternoon: Got very lucky and spent the afternoon with locals. They taught me some Hausa phrases, and I discovered a whole new love for the local music. So many laughs.
- Evening: Decided to order some food. I wanted something a little more familiar. Ordered fries and a burger and watched a film, not that great.
Day 5: The Existential Crisis of a Lost Tourist… and a Potential Blessing
- Morning: Woke up feeling kinda lost. Like, lost in Abuja, lost in myself, lost in the sheer volume of things I still needed to figure out. Started thinking about everything back home. Suddenly not so sure anymore.
- Afternoon: Took a deep breath, forced myself to go out. Found a small restaurant down the street. Ate a meal. It helped a bit.
- Evening: Went back to my apartment. Then, a miracle happened. As I was walking to my apartment I was approached by someone. They helped me with my bags and we talked until I arrived at my door and he left. I felt at peace, knowing that someone was there.
Day 6: Preparation
- Morning: Get ready to travel home.
- Afternoon: Talk to friends.
- Evening: Make sure to pack everything.
- Night: Try to sleep.
Departure - Day 7
- Morning: Taxi. Airport. Flight. Departure. Okay, maybe surviving Abuja was a victory after all.
- Afternoon: Back home.
Final Thoughts (Or, How Abuja Almost Broke Me, But Didn't Completely):
Abuja is… intense. It’s loud, it’s chaotic, it’s beautiful, and it’s frustrating. I didn’t always love it. I definitely sweat through my shirt more times than I care to admit. But I also saw things I never would have seen, met people I never would have met, and ate food that will forever be seared into my taste buds. The trip was a weird balance of feeling completely overwhelmed. It was definitely an experience. Would I go back? Maybe. After I’ve recovered. And after I've learned to navigate the traffic. And after I've maybe, just maybe, figured out how to properly bargain.
And that, my friends, is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. (Except for maybe a few exaggerations… you know, for dramatic effect.) Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I need a long, cold drink and a nap.
