A good place to relax, chill and unwind. Beautiful and historical paintings of the legendary Felakuti makes it inviting.

I enjoyed the tour, the tour guide was nice and explained in details.Would visit when next Im in lagos again.

Management needs to be commended they seem to be doing a good job. The customer experience, the ambience has been improved from the car park to the lounge. well done.... You also have that very hard working single staff serving who deserves some bonus✌🏽

It is a nice place to be. The restaurant and rooms are great 👍👌 Lovely experience 😊

For the love of music, for the love of this land, for the love of the people.

The rooftop lounge/bar is an unlikely but functional alternative to a work space. And easy to transition. Will update this once I’ve gone inside the museum itself.

Beautiful experience. Enjoyed my visit

A coded place to enjoy one self

Its a beautiful and hot experience.

Interesting place if you want to know about Fela. The tour guide did a good job of taking through every piece of information and answered all questions. Love how the place have this old smell but still cool (working AC). After the tour, you can relax at the rooftop bar, order food, drinks and enjoy the view.

Not a bad place but its located within residential, hence, you cant really be loud.

Loved the stories of what Kalakuta entails. Was a great experience. If you dont love art youll find the place boring

I liked the place. Has a lot of African feel and history.

Personally, one of my best places in Lagos. The vibe is everything for me and the ambience is magical.

Its so amazing

Nice place to visiting and relax;

I loved the Murals and the artworks, A lot of effort went into preserving the memory of a great and Influential artist.Also the terrace at the top is a pretty cool place to relax drink and eat.

The place was really nice our anchor did a great job ,but in think the place need more lighting .

Lovely place especially the roof top bar with affordable nice rooms

Rich in history and amazing cuisine at the roof top lounge.

It was incredible to see how a part of the rich history of Felas life is conserved. We started the tour from the ground floor, which opened with his old album covers, most of which were designed by Lemi Ghariokwu. It was interesting to walk through pieces of Felas life, see his old room, his clothes and collection of shoes. The family portraits and snippets of his life on stage, were especially memorable. Theres ample parking space, a rooftop bar, where I taught an art class (FUN!), and Felas final resting place sits beautifully within the compound.

Chilled & refreshing. I loved the view

I found touring alone real fun and it was like a private show all for me

Best place to enjoy rooftop vibes, drink some shots of tequila, pal wine or your choice of alcohol without breaking the bank.

Could be managed better but if you want to know a bit more about fela, I guess the tour guide could help. Couldnt find him/her when I went though.

I enjoyed hearing the story of Fela, his phenomenal music and legacy. It would be great if the museum could include a video/sound booth with VR headsets where guests can experience some of this. The feeling would be soo much better.

Excellent stay. Where else can you meet and conversate with the son of a legend! Historic and magical. Feels like home. Great food.

Kalakuta museum is specifically 98% where fela wears, instruments ect are kept

Good experience,Get to learn a lot about this legend.A cool place to hang out and discuss.Nice serene.

I’m so happy I was able to visit Fela’s house the tour guide was very informative about every detail. I learned a lot more about the musician after this tour I don’t want to give out too much info or post to many picture but I can tell you if your looking for something to do this is it!

Located in Fela’s former house, the museum tells you the story of Fela’s music, and unusual lifestyle. When I visited Seun Kutis band was rehearsing in the studio, that made it all the more fascinating.....make sure you visit the rooftop terrace ...will recommend visiting late afternoon if possible.......

Great place to chill and relax . It has a rooftop bar and hotel too.

Art and Music in One place, gives that Aesthetic Feeling!

Really nice ambience, calm environment and great food!

Nice place with amazing story

I had personal assignment that landed me to Ikeja one April Tuesday, after I wound up my assignment, off I went to Fela’s residence, The Kalakuta Musuem also at Ikeja, Lagos, sadly I wasn’t all packed to sleep over.Well yes there is lodging available at The Kalakuta Museum…this would be a tale for another day.I walked into the compound, Fela is everywhere.There’s a backdrop wall art depicting shades of Fela, just before you walk into the front door.At the front door is a friendly front desk lady, very welcoming and beside her is a warm charming young man, ‘Biodun – he’d be my tour guide…he serenaded me to a couple of Fela’s songs too.I had already made my findings prior to my visit, so I knew I had to pay a mandatory NGN 1,000 entry fee.My tour of Fela’s home commenced ,The Kalakuta Museum.The ground floor houses a number of Fela’s album covers, there’s also a room stocked with Fela Souvenirs.They were two highlights to my tour – Fela’s bedroom and the rooftop bar; absolutely love what was done with the space.I love the fact his room is intact – just the way he left it after he passed on (well apart from the post mortem awards displayed).The rooftop bar, I love the ambience and of course for the food and drinksThere are lots of pictures up the wall and in the many rooms as you ascend the floors depicting times in the life of Fela.

Felas apartment before he passed on. The tour was nice, I heard first hand information about the great Fela Anikulapokuti himself. You will in some weird way feel his presence while in this place.

Cannot wait to go back wow one of my most memorable experiences EVER ; tour guide was very knowledgeable the place itself was mind blowing & meeting Kunle was totally unexpected. I am so grateful!

The Republic of Kalakuta remains strong as does the legacy of Fela Kuti! Let history show this was a legendary legend mark in my time.

An awesome experience in the museum. We had the privilege of a tour around the building with detailed explanations of every poster, painting, pictures and sourrdings. It is the last place the legendary Fela lived before he died (his room remains intact) and couple of rooms have been refurbished as rooms for rent with he original music plaque on the walls of each room...epic... check out some pictures below though I cant explain about each as I learnt via the tour...

Kalakuta museum was once the house where Fela Anikulapo Kuti lived before his death in 1997. It has been converted to a museum now and served as tourist attractions for people far and wide to come so they could learn about the life of fela,it has a rooftop bar for relaxation purposes with friends and families.

Awesome! particularly proud of the Kuti family for sharing the legacy of the great FELA with the world.

My experience at the Kalakuta museum was fantastic. The tour guide (I think Samuel) whom I have now sadly forgotten his name is a brilliant and knowledgeable young man. He made the exploration of the late legends space memorable for me.Kalakuta museum is a must see place for every true lover of the work of Prophet Fela Anikulapo Kuti. After the tour, there is a nicely set up restaurant/bar where you can have a delicious taste of Nigerian cuisine and also explore the Ikeja skyline. Meanwhile, dont forget to get souvenirs from their store. The Tees and face caps are a must go-home-with. This place comes highly recommended. I wish you a pleasant adventure of the Kutis!

This experience was definitely the highlight of my Lagos trip. Fela Kuti’s music is so unreal and the fact that we got a special guided tour in his house was so crazy. Trust me, I am still pinching myself. It would have been even better if they played background music of his tracks as the tour went on. Wishful thinking 😊

You want to know a little about Fela before visiting this place, the parking space is a contained area. The museum is a two storey building with a roof top. It’s 1,000 naira for entry. The tour guide is well explanatory and has a wide knowledge about Fela. Several art works, pictures, his room, clothes, shoes, & documents were displayed. People lodge there & there’s a roof top to relax with food & drinks.

Felas home turned into a museum. Everything you need to learn about the legend. From his clothes to shoes to pictures to his piano. Small but interesting

The place is reloaded. Wearing a new look and fresh positive energy. Pls check it out

Its a very nice mesuem all about fela and they have a soft top bar.its a great place to be🖐🖐🖐

Felas house turned museum. Quite small but very great guides. Rich in culture and heritage, showcases the beauty of Felas life. The gate fee is quite cheap, about 500 naira. And they also have a restaurant/bar on the penthouse. A must see

Quite an experience, a nice place to be with loved ones and reminisce on the FREEDOM-TO-EXPRESS

The Kalakuta Museum was one of, and the final home, of musical legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti during his sojourn on earth. It hosts a museum, gift shop, entertainment spot, and hotel. Guests are sometimes asked for identification cards to ensure the clientele is responsible. A guided tour costs One Thousand Naira only, and this includes a tour of Felas private room, closet, musical instruments, possessions, newspaper clippings of the legend and his band, manifesto and party documents from his political party and presidential bid, the family photo gallery, and all rooms of the multi storey house. The upper floor which gives a view of the surrounding area has been converted to a bar where drinks, and food are sold. The premises also functions as a hotel, and guests can stay overnight in the rooms. Sales of hard drugs (marijuana) is not allowed on the premises.

Great place to learn about the Legend, Fela. After the tour of the museum, you can have a drink at the rooftop bar .

This was Felas home, as of his death...Great life history of the Afro beat inventor too. I loved the tour.

I enjoyed visiting the museum, which was Felas last home on earth. Its a well preserved monument to Nigerias greatest musician.You can learn a lot about Fela and his family by visiting the museum from his many wives to his multiple incarcerations, the history is all there.Fela was legendary and Im glad theres something as solid as this to remember him by.

A visit to this museum opens up an opportunity to experience life and times of the legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Im an absolute Fela fan, but I think some things are missing from this museum experience. First off, theres no obvious entrance fee, the entrance fee you pay is whatever the tour guide says. Also, theres no ambience, some soft Fela playing in the background of his museum would be nice. The gift shop is very disorganized. The third floor exhibit is somewhat pointless. But, I did enjoy the rooftop bar...I think thats a nice addition. I would still recommend a visit to this museum, only if youre a genuine Fela fan, else you will be disappointed. Oh, and the security guard at the gate might need some customer service training.

You get to see the place Fela lived and also learn some things that you likely didnt know about him

Amazing art , interesting structure(building) .In relation to staff there is no real structure, the tour guide was unavailable and his replacement was unaware of some names,dates and provenaceIn summery It was a fun experienceI would highly recommend a visitPs. Do not forget to pet the cats

MAY FELAS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE

What is there to not love? Anyone who paid attention to what Fela fought for, would feel honoured to be there. There were pictures from his life. I spent the night and I mean...its Kalakuta 🌚The place has 5 rooms so if you wanna stay there, book on time. The roof top is so cosy, and airy and the chicken and chips was perfect! Im going back to stay in a bigger room. The comfort is amazing. Go there. Give them your money. Preserve the history of Fela. Selah.

Cool and memorable experience

Rich history! My father would be envious I visited this place 😆

A lovely place with so much memories of the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti

It was quite fun over there. The receptionist is cool and funny some time. The environment so neat and tidy. Its a wanna be place.

Cool place..scared of heights so the stairs case gave me goose bumps..lol

Fun, Serene and Nostalgic

A must-see for any fan of Fela Kuti’s music!

Was okay. Was trying to explore my interest in art and culture. Probably not my thing

My home

First time visiting and totally enjoyed the ambience

Felas residence kept in pristine condition. 20 years now. His base while alive. His burial site.

Great place. This was Fela Kutis house while alive, its now a Meseum, his room is still intact with his belongings.It also houses a guest house where guest can stay and immense the hose where Fela lived.

You will never regret you did

A serene atmosphere to hang out with friends and family. Lots of history about the legend himself

Very poor customer service. There wasnt even any electricity and the staff were very unresponsive. The place wasnt well maintained either

Nice place to be and fun. Got to know more on Kalakuta

I loved staying at this wonderful and very important place. My room was lovely and had special little touches...Nice soap, kettle etc. Staff were very helpful, kind and efficient. I felt very privileged and lucky to have stayed here. The museum hotel is well run. A great experience.

Its clean and tells you about Fela

Serene and lovely plus theres a pretty cat

Cool Place

Its a very cool and quiet place for relaxation but things are expensive there

Beautiful place I love to chill and burn trees.

Fela was an inspirational musical figure. The museum is nice and well organized but does not appear to display his musical career as much as Id expect. The focus appeared to be be only on his personal life / upbringing, which is nice to learn about. But I was disappointed by the minimal tribute to his musical career / talents aside from the photos of his album covers on the entry floor. Would recommend to learn more about his personal life. But to pay homage to his musical career, not the best place for that. It also serves as a hotel interestingly with a small bar on the rooftop so perhaps a great place to socialize.

Lovely location

Great place to learn about the life of Fela and see where he spent his last days.

I love. Home

First time there, wonderful ambiance. Wonderful kitchen as well ❤❤😍🥰

Super sense place to visit.

You feel the energy on different realms

The environment was clean

Lovely place

Memories of Baba 70 well preserved

Clean and well maintain... The museum is a must visit either you are a FELA fan or NOT

Cool atmosphere

A most interesting place to learn about the history of the afro beat legend.

Nice view

The place was very calm. The experience was very nice

Kalakuta Museum as its popularity called is the last known residential home of the Late Afrobeat Legend, Fela Anikulapo kuti. The Museum holds the life history of his life as an activist, a Father and as a musician. Now its just been upgraded with a boutique 5 Room Hotel. So now tourist can spend a night or more inside this historical Museum.

You would even get to see Felas Barney print panties here

Lovely place
