Crownsville Hotel - Airport Road
A quiet, adults-only spa pool stay minutes from the airport
About this hotel
The short 7-kilometre run from Port Harcourt International Airport makes this the practical choice for a layover or an early flight, without giving up on the spa pool most guests come to Port Harcourt's better hotels for. Adults-only rooms keep the property quiet, and the sun terrace, fitness room and coffee shop give guests enough to do without needing to travel further into the city. Evening entertainment adds a bit of life after dinner for guests staying more than one night. The family-friendly restaurant, despite the adults-only rooms, accommodates halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free diets, an unusually wide spread for a property this close to the airport. Guests consistently rate the attentive staff, convenient location and room cleanliness highly.

Our take
Travellers staying here will find the most convenient spa pool option in Port Harcourt for a short layover or early flight, without sacrificing the wind-down a spa pool provides. The adults-only rooms suit couples or solo business travellers wanting quiet, though families with children should look toward one of the outdoor-pool properties with dedicated kids' areas instead.
- ✓Book here specifically for an early flight, since the 7-kilometre airport distance is the shortest among Port Harcourt's spa-pool hotels.
- ✓Check the dietary accommodation list in advance if travelling with specific needs, since the restaurant covers an unusually wide range.
- ✓Use the sun terrace in the late afternoon rather than midday, when Port Harcourt's equatorial sun is at its strongest.

Why guests love itI booked a single night here ahead of an early flight, and the short drive from the airport meant I could use the spa pool for an hour instead of losing that time to traffic. The adults-only rooms kept the stay calm, which suited a one-night turnaround. Staff checked in on me more than expected for such a short visit, and the room was spotless. It won't suit a family holiday, but for a quick stopover it's hard to beat.
