The effort and pride the owner and volunteers put into this place really shows. I loved the way they make little gatherings for all the guests, it really makes a difference to the experience of travelling - especially for those of us travelling solo.

We stayed at the accommodation for two nights. The shared spaces (bathrooms and kitchen) were great and well equiped 👌 There were two bathrooms and one kitchen for all guests, which was enough. In the kitchen, there was also coffee, tea, muffins, and some spices for cooking! 🌸

I felt like home immediately! The staff is so nice! The location is close to the old town. The cliffs are on walking distance (really nice to watch the sunrise or sunset). I stayed in the female dorm and loved the energy/decorations. Extra plus point: the wooden beds were stable! So I slept perfect!

All hostels in Lagos

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Perfect location for exploring Lagos. 6-bed female dormitory was stunning. Shared areas are also very nice. Facilities are clean & well maintained. Atmosphere is laid-back but still friendly & easy to meet people. Staff are welcoming & very helpful! Easily the best hostel I stayed at in all of Portugal
