A foreign tourist has sparked mixed reactions online after sharing a video of himself and a companion arriving at a modern-looking hotel in Ile-Ife, Osun State, during a downpour. As they approach the building, the on-screen text reads:
US$40 hotel in Ile-Ife, Osun State 🇳🇬
They check in through a clean, decent-looking lobby, and the staff show them to Room 111. The room looks surprisingly good for the price — featuring a clean, modern bed, air conditioning, a smart TV with apps, decent furniture, and good lighting.
The man is visibly shocked and delighted by the quality ("I'm crazy now..."wink. He keeps expressing how impressive it is for the money and thanks the staff at the end. He is even more wowed when he sees the smart TV in the room, and a staff member explains that he can watch YouTube and other apps on it.
Even some Nigerians are reacting to the video because of:
- How nice the hotel looks for only about $40 (around ₦55,000).
- A foreigner's genuine positive reaction to a budget hotel in a smaller Nigerian city like Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The video quickly attracted various reactions, along with some light banter in the comments about whether the man is a real "oyibo" or a local pretending. However, the man is actually a popular tourist who documents his travels across various social media platforms.
In short, it's a positive budget hotel review that gained attention because the place looks far better than people expected for the price, and the foreigner's excited reaction makes the video even more entertaining.
