There's a bit of disrepair here and there - shared bathrooms are a little run down, and our balcony door was missing a window pane. Being central there is street noise, and the bed was very firm, but not a rock.

This is a great, yet rough around the edges, budget lodging. Our room had it's own little balcony, the common spaces, rooftop and kitchen were welcoming and functional.

Less noise from the street, late in the night, early in the morning.

Nice friendly staff.

Location in central Lagos was perfect. Staff friendly and helpful.

If your room is facing the Main Street then be prepared for a lot of noise from the party people walking home. As there’s no AC, we had to have the windows open and thus no sleep. Kitchen is quite lacking as there’s no access to a sink for water (they do offer a jug of tap water) and lack of tables to eat

The location is great as it’s in the centre of town

We had some difficulty closing the bathroom door

Great location, clean toilets, comfy bed

Great position, in the real centre of Lagos. My room was comfortable and also with a sink. The view on the rooftop was stunning. I was a bit concerned about the three toilets only, but they were always free. Thank you also for the punk music night ;)

Very basic and small room, but you get what you pay for

Location and price

Stayed in May 2025

The lights in the room are unnecessarily dim! I seriously thought about going out and buying my own lightbulbs for my stay. The only thing needed is brighter light bulbs. When you turn on the lights they almost make no difference to the darkness in the room.

Caravela has many private rooms at varying sizes. The staff are very friendly and ready to help. The location is right in the middle of the busy tourist center with restaurants and shops the moment you step out the door. The sea is only a short walk away. Inside the property it is surprisingly very quiet considering the hustle and bustle outside. The roof is a nice place to sit, relax and/or look at the activity below. There are not many facilities for when the place is full. There is one table in the central lobby area, and one microwave, a kettle, one coffee machine that required Delta Q pods or equivalent and a few cups, as well as some cutlery and plates. The staff wash up anything used. There are only 2 tables on the roof (the roof could be made into an oasis for travelers). There are only 3 (I believe) toilets with showers to be shared with everyone. The room prices become ridiculously expensive like everywhere else in Lagos during summer season, but out of season the place is less full so you have easy access to everything mentioned and the rooms are excellent value for money. Oh yeah, towels are provided, the internet is good, there was a sink in my room which was useful, and my mattress was hard, which I personally love and found extremely comfortable.

I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t wash my hands when I used the kitchen unless I went to the bathroom. There was paper provided though.

The property was well located, right in the centre and if your room looked at the inner court, it was quiet. The bed was comfortable and I appreciated the extra blanket for the night and the washbasin in the room was great. The sea, shops, bus station was in walking distance. It had a roof terrace and a table in the courtyard. In the ‘kitchen’ there was a kettle, fridge and microwave. The staff did the washing up. The bathroom was a bit dated, but functional. It was all clean. I could have a peaceful rest after a long day walking

Didn't get to meet anyone as it didn't seem very social unfortunately.

Great location, nice to have a room to yourself. Was clean enough for the price.

The location

Stayed in February 2025

Carpet makes me uneasy. Some wear and tear. Bed was slightly too short for me at full length.

Killer location, quiet despite being on main tourist street, clean and with considerate staff.

Old building but clean, quiet and fully furnished.

Stayed in September 2024

The room no so modern, no shampoo, but we had soap. I guess it's good value for money.

All staff were cheerful and pleasant to help in any needs. Comfortable beds, perfect location just in city center

Stayed in September 2024

The room was extremely narrow and there was no space to leave anything. The toilet was not in great condition and did't look very clean.

Location is super central, in a street full of restaurants and not far from Lagos' closest beaches. The hostel is affordable and therefore handy if the budget doesn't allow anything fancier.

Would have been nice to have a proper kitchen and the limited reception hours can be a problem. The room I have also opened onto the courtyard which meant it was hard to have privacy and keep the window open for venitilation.

The location was great right in the middle of the old town and in easy walking distance to beaches. The value for money is amazing for a solo traveller—definitely recommend!

Shared bathrooms and the shower wasn’t attached to the wall so we had to hold it while showering. Also I wish we had a mini fridge there.. 😅

Great place and location. Staff was nice and there was a mini kitchen there.

Toilet outside.

The Shower inside.

The kitchen didn’t have a hob, nor pans, so it can be difficult according to the meal we want to prepare.

Perfectly located, in the city center, we can find shops, bars and restaurants in the street. The rooftop is really beautiful. The staff was really nice and welcoming. There’s a fridge and a kettle.
