Swiss Spirit Hotel and Suites Danag
From as low as N23,000, you can book a room at Swiss Spirit, Port Harcourt. Swiss Spirit Hotel and Suites is quite popular for housing the best rooms and suites at such an economic price. For many hotels, the lower the price, the lower the quality. The opposite is the case for Swiss Spirit.
The lower price is just to make more people know about the place, and should not depict less of its quality. You won’t even believe it has some of the best facilities and amenities that other hotels with seemingly high prices do not.
It is located in Port Harcourt, and along the commercial district of the city, on the formerly known Stadium Road. The room types at Swiss Spirit Hotel and Suites are Non-smoking rooms, Family rooms, and suites. This means smoking is not allowed in any part of the hotel, not even the room. The hotel could be at a disadvantage for this.
