Finding a comfortable 1 bedroom shortlet in Abuja under ₦50,000 per night is possible if you know where to search and are flexible about location.
Abuja has hundreds of furnished apartments available for short stays, but prices vary considerably by neighbourhood, facilities, season and apartment quality.
While many premium one-bedroom apartments now cost significantly more than ₦50,000 per night, current listings still show some options between approximately ₦30,000 and ₦50,000 per night.
If your budget is around this range, TourAbuja can help you look for available apartments that match your dates, preferred area and requirements.

Can You Really Get a Shortlet in Abuja for Under ₦50,000?
Yes, but affordable apartments at this price point can be limited.
Current Abuja property listings include some one-bedroom accommodation around ₦30,000–₦50,000 per night.
For example, listings have appeared around Asokoro, Kubwa, and Jahi at approximately ₦30,000 per day, while other one-bedroom options in areas such as Karsana have been advertised around ₦40,000–₦50,000.
Prices and availability can change quickly, particularly during weekends, festive periods, conferences and major events.
This is why it is better to confirm the actual price and availability before making payment.
Areas to Consider for Affordable Shortlets in Abuja
If you are working with a ₦50,000-per-night budget, flexibility can make a significant difference.
Wuse and Wuse 2
Wuse is one of Abuja’s most convenient locations because it is close to restaurants, offices, shopping centres and major roads.
Budget apartments occasionally appear in the area, although premium properties are usually considerably more expensive.
Current property listings have included one-bedroom options at the ₦50,000 level in Wuse and Wuse 2.
Garki
Garki is another good option for visitors who want relatively central accommodation.
It provides convenient access to the Central Business District, Area 1, Area 3, Area 11 and other parts of Abuja.
Karsana
If staying directly in Abuja’s central districts is not essential, Karsana can provide better value.
Recent listings have included furnished one-bedroom apartments around ₦40,000 per night.
Kubwa
Kubwa may also be worth considering if affordability is more important than staying in the city centre.
Transportation time should, however, be considered when deciding whether the savings are worthwhile.
What Should a ₦50,000 Shortlet Include?
Facilities differ between apartments, but a properly furnished one-bedroom shortlet may provide:
- Furnished bedroom
- Private bathroom
- Living room
- Air conditioning
- Television
- Kitchen or kitchenette
- Refrigerator
- Wi-Fi
- Security
- Parking
- Backup electricity
Do not assume that every apartment includes every facility.
Before paying, ask specifically about electricity, internet, water, cleaning fees and additional charges.
Watch Out for Extra Charges
The advertised nightly rate is not always the final amount you will pay.
Some apartment operators may request additional payments such as:
- Refundable caution fee
- Cleaning fee
- Service charge
- Security deposit
- Extra guest fee
- Early check-in fee
- Late checkout fee
Ask for the total cost of your stay before sending money.
For example, an apartment advertised at ₦45,000 per night may cost more once additional fees are included.
How to Choose the Right Shortlet
Price should not be your only consideration.
Ask for recent photographs or videos of the actual apartment you will receive. Confirm the exact neighbourhood and check whether the location works for the places you intend to visit.
You should also confirm:
Electricity: Is power available around the clock, and what backup system is provided?
Security: Is the apartment inside an estate, compound or secured building?
Internet: Is Wi-Fi included?
Kitchen: Can you cook during your stay?
Check-in: What time can you enter the apartment?
Parking: Is there secure parking if you are driving?
These questions can prevent unpleasant surprises after arrival.
Who Should Consider an Affordable Abuja Shortlet?

- Weekend visitors
