- It has different halls you can use to host events. The halls have huge capacity. The environment is beautiful one as well, and they have good security.
- I usually recommend Eko hotel for any event. The car park, space and ambience is topnotch. Though I feel the general toilet where men do number 2 can be cleaner.
- I was at an event. Didn’t lodge. The hall was good for the event and the setup was top notch. Could be a bit clumsy to locate the restroom tho.

- Yard 158 is a well-known Event Hall at Oregon, enough car park space and the hall itself is so huge it can admit enough people, and their service like the Generator and Air-condition is so amazing you will not be stressed about the people you invite for your occasion. Really really Amazing Hall trust me.
- Grace Dome Hall, otherwise called Yard 158 is an event center in the very busy Oregun axis. It is big and beautifully made up. The ambiance is cool inside and welcoming. However, the parking lot is rowdy and not well set out. The convenience is ok even though it’s set apart from the main hall. Not convenient during the rains. Above average.
- Yard 158 is a massive Hall. With a capacity of 1000 guests. It’s a good venue for big parties. I enjoyed planning and decorating the Hall.

- Still the best event venue in my opinion. The halls have clean lines making decor easy and seamless, staff are very helpful and hands on, toilets are always clean, have toilet roll and smell well.
- Civic center Lagos offers the space to a host of corporate events on Lagos. It sits between the Lagos lagoon and the Lekki Epe express way. So you can access it by water or road, while a heli pad is just 2 blocks away. Look out for the Christmas design too, it’s usually works the wait.
- Nice halls, but can’t take about 5,000 guests at once. You can also book the Sea side hall for your events if you want that feel of nature.

- The conference hall is nice with a water view flowing from the sea to lagos lagoon. Has a large parking space both inside the complex and outside. Security is topnotch with decent staff ready to help.
- If there is a place in Lagos State where you want to keep the memories of your events fresh and new, them it’s “Lagos Oriental hotel”. The hall is well decorated and design for all kinds of event and one of its attractions is the lagoon window view… You can view the lagoon, ships and the sun right from you sitting position and believe me, the sight is so beautiful.
- The facilities are dated and require significant upgrades. The location is excellent but the facilities haven’t be upgrade for years and age shows in all aspects.

- Came for an all-day event, from noon to 6:30 pm. I believe a total of almost 200 attended. Small chops was served, fresh and satisfying. Restroom is available and easy to get to. Staff was excellent. Very professional and disciplined. From waitresses to stagehands, every person always knew what was going on.
- Great place to host your events like weddings, birthdays and so on. They also have traffic control and large parking space area. Would highly recommend this area for people particularly on the island.
- Great venue for different kinds of events from weddings to exhibitions, but can be better. It needs a professional venue manager and courteous cleaners. And the security from the beach side is porous.

- This Event center has been upgraded and looks really beautiful. They now have space for small and outdoor parties
- A nice event place, with enough parking space, and enough great ambience very close to the heart of the Ikeja City.
- My experience at the Grandeur was a very pleasant o. They have good ambience, moderate parking space. However, you have to sign in your name before you enter and sign out on exit, this can be tacky when you have like 5 cars entering at the same time. I believe they can find a better way to achieve this. Some maintenance work would be nice also. Overall an amazing place.
