What is the difference between a shortlet and a hotel in Nigeria?

A shortlet is a fully-furnished self-contained flat rented for short stays, usually one night to three months. A hotel offers room-only accommodation with services. Shortlets are typically cheaper and more private. Both types are on ShortRest.

Which cities in Nigeria does ShortRest cover?

ShortRest covers all 36 Nigerian states and the FCT. This includes Lagos (Lekki, Victoria Island, Ikeja), Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Kano, Enugu, Warri, Benin City, Asaba, Owerri, Onitsha, Ilorin, and 50-plus more cities.

Does ShortRest charge any hidden fees or commission?

No. ShortRest is 100% free for everyone. Listing is free. Viewing contact details is free. Booking is directly with the owner. ShortRest earns zero commission and has zero hidden fees.

How can I find cheap hotels in Lagos?

Visit shortrest.com.ng/hotels/lagos and filter by your budget. Because you contact owners directly with no booking platform fee, prices on ShortRest are often lower than on Booking.com or Hotels.ng for the same property.

Can I find shortlets in Abuja on ShortRest?

Yes. ShortRest has verified shortlet listings across Abuja and the FCT, including Wuse, Maitama, Gwarinpa, Garki, Asokoro, and Jabi. Visit shortrest.com.ng/shortlets/fct to browse.

Is it safe to book directly from a property owner in Nigeria?

Yes, if you follow basic precautions. Verify the property via video call before any payment, use traceable bank transfers, and read the Safety Tips at shortrest.com.ng/safety-tips. All ShortRest listings include real owner contact details.

Can I rent a car in Nigeria on ShortRest?

Yes. ShortRest now has a car rental module where you can find and rent vehicles directly from car rental companies and private owners across Nigeria — zero commission, direct contact.
