This is absolutely a great hostel you must experience. It's not a party hostel but very social due to the regular family dinners that are organized three times a week. It's a great way to meet fellow travelers. You can always go out to the bars close by with your new friends if you want to party anyway;) Location is perfect in the city and the rooftop and living room are very comfortable. Also the owner Filippa is so friendly and helpful with anything you need. You will not regret staying here. Extending your stay is the norm here.

The location was incredibly convenient and there are so many lovely shops and restaurants nearby! The hostel itself was very clean and well organized, and the staff were phenomenal. The kitchen, common spaces, private lockers, and rooftop balcony were an amazing touch to this stay.

Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable bed, ample space to do some work on the laptop. No kitchen but fridge and kettle provided. Everything (dorm and communal seating and desk area) is in one large space except a few private rooms but dorm is hidden from view the way it is set up and all beds have a privacy curtain. Next to Lagos bus station and everything nearby. Clean. People were very respectful also with noise given everything is in one room despite the hostel being fully booked it was quiet.

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
