We had an amazing stay! The hostel’s unique theme and welcoming, respectful vibe made our time there feel really special. The atmosphere was calm and personal, with both the staff and other guests being incredibly friendly. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the location couldn’t be better — just steps from both the Lagos train and bus stations. Our beds had privacy curtains and secure lockers, and the fresh sheets, extra duvet, and clean towels were thoughtful extras. The only small downside was the bright white light above the beds that stayed on all night, which the curtains didn’t fully block. Still, this was one of the best hostel experiences we’ve had — highly recommend!

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
