The landscape of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria is littered with hotels, guest houses and Inns of different shapes and colours located in every nook and cranny of the ancient city.
Some of these rest places are created without any particular appeal to any particular market segment of the society, thereby pay less attention to quality service, decent facilities, optimum customers ‘relations and satisfaction .
All these substandard equations must have actuated the planting of Joybam Hotel and Event Centre, at the business district of Orita–Challenge, Ibadan.
The hotel is hinged on three-pronged theme of excellence service, posh facilities and optimum customers relations’ interaction. Joybam Hotel is a 50–bedroom luxurious accommodation with its rooms set for kings and royals who want a distinct place to lay their heads, have nice meals and relax in a serene atmosphere of peace, love and romantic ambiance removed from the maddening crowd of Orita Challenge. Joybam Hotel is an oasis of splendour with exquisite facilities, swimming pool, gym, recreation arena, posh bar, barbershop, supermarket, inner and outside bar.
It operates a 24–hour bar which parades local and exotic drinks and opens an arena for sport watch without interference to privacy and exclusiveness.
The restaurant serves local and intercontinental meals being under a world certified chef who is putting to play his intercontinental experience as a cook of many years.
For those who care for live band and shows, Joybam Hotel and Event Centre has a weekend packaged which ensure a robust ‘Thank God It’s Friday’ to Sunday life jamz at an arena within the hotel premises without constituting nuisance to lodgers.
Though there is no foolproof security strategy anywhere, Joybam has taken all measures needed at safeguarding and protecting its customers and their items at any point of the hotel.
According to Segun Owoeye, Chief Operating Officer, Count Technologies Incorporation, US, who stayed in the hotel with his family while on holiday in Nigeria, “I never knew such an oasis of luxury is within the Orita – Challenge, area of Ibadan, I booked the hotel online. Secondly, I thought the place would be engulfed by noise. Thirdly, I thought the facilities will be local or of Nigeria’s standard. All these perished in me when the taxify man drove to the hotel . I noticed there was no noise, I was impressed by the sophistication of their facilities and more impressed by the expertise of its chef who was able to give my white wife and children good meals. I must also commend the hotel for recruiting people who understand how to treat and pamper their guests. For me and my family, we are not only going to be patron of Joybam Hotel, Orita-Challenge Ibadan, Oyo State, we shall also tell others because it is one hotel where all your dreams of hospitality are served in optimum pleasure”.
