Everything was pretty good. Special kudos to a tourist from Germany who was showing around as if he were a host there :) Didn't see the actual host but all the questions were solved in WhatsApp, so everything was great!

Possibly one of the best hostels I've ever been to. The location is amazing, it's very quiet and sooo clean! The beds were very comfortable which is important to me and the hostel had this wonderful garden where you can chill at. The staff was also very helpful and very welcoming. I loved every second of being here :)

If you are reading this review while deciding where to stay in Lagos- you have found it. My sister and I stayed 4 nights in July and have only amazing things to say. Staff is 11/10!! Skye is amazing and will help you with anything and everything. My sister and I were lucky enough to be there while the three new bombshells entered the villa. Chelsea, Clair, and Mikayla(if you're reading this, Ava and I love and miss you all!) They ran the nightly pub crawls and different activities. They brought the energy EVERY NIGHT! And if that's not enough to convince you to stay, Cloud 9 has the most comfortable dorm beds ever, AC in the rooms, and black out curtains. Missing it already!

All hostels in Lagos

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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
