An art lover’s escape, nestled in the rarefied and serene Old GRA area of Port Harcourt, close to the Government House.
This is not a place you stumble across; it is one which you appreciate its discovery…like a fuel station without queues, known to you (and a privileged few adventurers), during a time of acute fuel scarcity.
The Crib Hotel, to me, is an art gallery with rooms and a restaurant/bar. If you’re an aesthete with a predilection for art, this place is highly recommended for you.
If you desire a quiet and intimate time out with a significant other, consider dining here.
They have a ‘Literary Bar’ which is semi-underground, with a tiny pool, bespoke art decor and shelves filled with books…think of it like a tiny library where drinks are served.
I love it! ????
The rooms, however, may leave you a tad disappointed after the visual and sensory appeal from the restaurant and bar. Spacious and functional though, they lack the pristine nature of other parts of this property.
The air-conditioning all around can be improved too.
The food is decent; I had a serving of sauced Turkey and a bottle of Heineken (which was very chilled, kudos!). I should add that the hot towel is a nice touch of service and hygiene. ????????
Staff are polite and happy to serve too, splendid.
This place is recommended for a quiet date, secluded relaxation away from the noise of the city, art tourism (most of the art works are for sale) and a reading escape.
