The 17 Party Hostel, hotel in Lagos

Well set in Lagos, The 17 Party Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a terrace and free WiFi.

I ended up being moved to the Macarena hostel around the corner (owned by the same people) as my original room was being refurbished. Very central, rooms were big with lockers and curtains on the beds, also cleaned everyday. Staff were lovely and easy to contact. The hostel had a very communal vibe and activities on which made it easy to meet new people as a solo traveller :)

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! The social atmosphere and positive energy made it easy to connect with other travelers. Tommy and the volunteers were fantastic, creating a welcoming environment. The hostel was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the pool table added some fun. Plus, the beds with curtains offered a nice bit of privacy. I loved my time here so much that I ended up extending my stay to two weeks.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel was one of the best hostels I had in Portugal. The people were friendly, welcoming and a bit like a big family. I liked the family dinners three times a week. Breakfast is included. You can lock your stuff. It's tidy, clean and you feel safe and cared about. Came for one night only and stayed for eight. Would definitely come back.

    This is the best hostel I've ever been too, such a magical place. The perfect place to meet new people and party. Mama is awesome and her crepe breakfast is legendary and can cure any hangover. Close by are many beautiful beaches and the bus terminal with busses to Lisbon or Faro is in walking distance as well.

    A very welcoming and well equipped hostel located in central Lagos. The ground floor dormitory is clean and reasonably spacious with six bunk beds. The shared bathroom and kitchen are exclusively for the use of the dorm guests. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I can thoroughly recommend this hostel and would definitely stay there again.
