Do not be discouraged by the comments saying that it is far from the centre - no! It is walkable, you can look at beautiful Algarvian houses on the way, but you will have to walk uphill and down at some point. The neighborhood is quiet, we had a great night's sleep. The villa is well kept, clean, and it felt like our home at that time. The private bedroom is big, bed comfortable, bathroom spacious and shared with another guest room upstairs. Mini fridge in the room and towels provided. Owners are very welcoming, kind and helpful. I would love to return and stay for longer.

This truly is a magical place and the way a hostel should be. They managed to create a very homely and cosy environment with multiple places to hang out. You can easily see that this place is created with love and has a soul and an own identity (in contrary to all those generic soulless hostels). With setting an environment like this they attract a crowd from many different backgrounds and a wide range of ages. You immediately feel home and welcome. It is very easy as a solo traveller to meet people here and feel part of the community. Yes, they succeed in one of the primary functions of a hostel for me, creating an openminded and welcoming community. This is certainly in my top ten hostels worldwide.

Had such a good time staying here! Easily met heaps of other aussies and kiwis with the nightly free pub crawl, skye was the best host and made sure everyone had a good time. By far the best party hostel I've stayed at in lagos, if you're wanting to get loose this is the place to be! The rooms were also spacious and bathrooms so clean. I'll be back for sure!

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
