Super cozy hostel (backyard, roof terrace++) in the heart of the old town of Lagos! Perfect for solo travelers. Two spacious kitchens, many (enough) bathrooms/showers, and everything is super clean. Not a party place, but VERY social. Chill music, chill travelers, endless nights in the backyard. Fridge with beer/cider for self service. Bonfire on chilly evenings. Super friendly staff, I was warmly welcomed by Tiago and ended up staying for a total of five nights! Highly recommended!

Very nice rooms and common areas with staff available on sight a lot during the day. Nice cleaning the bathrooms in the morning. Loved that you got two pillows. Tidy kitchen where they threw away old food. Over every expectation.

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! 🌸

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!

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!

It was right next to the bus station, super convenient. It was also quite small and cozy, so felt like a big living room. The guests were mostly older and quiet, which I enjoy. And the staff were super nice. Thank you!

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
