In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central yet quiet location — Steps from Lagos' old town, restaurants and the waterfront, while tucked just far enough from the main drag to avoid late-night noise.
  • Popular garden and terraces — A shaded courtyard with orange trees, plus sun terraces and a rooftop, give guests plenty of space to relax and socialise outdoors.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — Guests single out the reception team for going beyond expectations, from printing bus timetables to advising on dietary needs.
  • Comfortable dorm beds with privacy — Most dorms have curtains on the beds, plus personal lights and plugs, and lockers for valuables – details that make shared rooms feel private.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only policy — The hostel only accepts guests aged 18 and over, so families with children won't be catered for.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to leave them at home – pets aren't permitted.
  • Limited kitchen space — The shared kitchen is on the small side, which can get busy at peak meal times.
  • Check-out before 11:00 — You'll need to be out of your room by 11, which might feel early if you're planning a lazy morning.

“Had a brilliant time exploring Lagos. The staff were super friendly and even printed bus timetables for me. The bed was the comfiest I slept in during my whole trip in Portugal, with crisp sheets. Plugs by every bed were handy. Breakfast was basic but filling. Lovely terrace and a great location.”

“Fantastic stay. Perfect location and the garden with orange trees is stunning. The receptionist was incredibly helpful. Great common areas to socialise. Cosy and welcoming. Minor niggles: showers could do with some maintenance and the kitchen is a bit small, but overall amazing. Highly recommend.”
