I presume it is an old building built as apartments and townhouses but converted into a hostel. Therefore the design seems a little odd.

Location is perfect. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. There’s valet parking for €4/day next door. Great cafes and restaurant next door. Would recommended if you’re travelling on a budget.

Spanish holiday
This is a basic hostel that incorrectly advertises its Seperate units with bathroom. These were advertised with balcony, kitchen and dining , city views and parking and pool . We had no balcony and faced a backstreet that people looked in directly to the room. Parking was on the street, look for your own and maybe get one close by. The kitchen was shared with a number of people. No pool what so ever We had a bathroom and kitchen next to us anda conversation pit below so the noise was extra loud with nil sound proofing. The bed may as well have been in the street. You expect some noise in a hostel but this room was excessive. The cost was very high compared to the other rooms. To round it off we found at least 6 dirty cut toenails around the floor and the tv stopped on the last night. The staff were very nice and the location is handy and would’ve been ok as a basic hostel. We have stayed in a number of hostels travelling the Camino and this would be worse than anything we came across. Pedro needs to review the advertisement and correct it. Do not stay here unless you are looking for a basic hostel.

Really good Hostel, Great Location! I LOVED Lagos, great Beach vibe and City! I felt very safe. Lots of Local Entertainment in the Big Square. I liked No hassling from the vendors. However if you like to swim..the water was brrrr...cold, even on a HOT day, not Refreshing But Cold! I was surprised by that!

Disappointing stay.
Good location and friendly staff but the positives end there. Room smelt very damp and musty without any air fresheners to mask this or a powerful enough extractor fan to deal with this. One of the bedside lamps was not plugged in and there were only two plug sockets (one for each light but none for guest appliances/chargers). The room looked onto the communal patio and was not double glazed so was very noisy at night.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review, Since 29/05/2017 we stop giving public answers to individual reviews, but we registed all the reviews in order to get a better service in the future. Our decision its based in the fact that the majority of the reviews only report minor or personal facts that in many cases only reflects a little revenge because of little things. Afther more than two years we decided that reviews about: - I like the location/I don't like the location – The property does not moves around Lagos; - I like the beds/I don't Like the beds – The beds are the same to everybody if one person likes and the other don't. What can we do? - The place its to quiet/The place its to noisy – The noise depends of you and the other guests, we can not obligate people to don't speak or to speak. - Parking its easy/Parking its impossible – In the website the information that you have its “”Parking its possible and free in a nearby public location”” - The kitchen its not clean/The kitchen its clean – We have the information that people should wash the plate after use, if the previous person does not do that, sorry… we will not have a 24hs person to wash knifes and forks. - The reception its not open 24hs – No its not, its open from 10:00 do 21:00 or 24:00 in the summer, this information its in the door. - The beds are not made every day and the towels are not changed every day – Yes its true, we change every 3 days or if needed, this information its available online and at the check in. - The lockers costs one euro and are outside the room – Yes its only one euro, and they are at 1 meter from the dorm door. - The air Con, the TV, the cooker, the toaster, the key, the door, etc… does not work – Dear guest JUST GO TO THE RECEPTION OR ASK….we are allways around to help. - Its very clean/Its very dirty – We clean every day the property if something

Great private room
We had a great stay in a private room at the hostel. The room was impeccably clean and tidy. The room and bathroom were very modern and dry which made our stay very comfortable. The private room was on par with a 2-3 star hotel so we were thoroughly impressed! The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was perfect.

Amazing location! 5 minute walk from the prettiest beaches in all of Lagos! Staff was extremely helpful and nice and the place was impeccably clean (everyday all of the floors are mopped and even the occupied dorm beds are made).

clean comfy hostel in Lagos town centre
very nice hostal right in old town centre. we had a triple room on top - third floor with a private bathroom and private balcony with a shared kitchen lounge room. Room was pretty small but adequate and was lovely and sunny opening on to private balcony. A bonus wad free washing machine in kitchen and clothes drying rack on balcony. A short stroll rook us too all the restaurants bars and shops. No parking at hostal but a garage was almost next door not sure how much it cost as we found street parking 100 metres away. very clean and very reasonably priced for the location.
Thank you

War ok, würde aber nicht nochmal buchen
Einfache Unterkunft am Rande des Zentrums von Lagos. Unser Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber. Was jedoch sehr störend war, dass unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoss war und das einzige Fenster in einen kleinen Innenhof ging. Dieser Innenhof diente jedoch als Bereich für die Allgemeinheit. So mussten wir praktisch rund um die Uhr die blickdichten Vorhänge vorziehen, da sonst jeder ins Zimmer schauen konnte. Große Gemeinschaftsküche vorhanden. Mit ein Grund hier zu buchen, war der in der Beschreibung abgegebene kostenlose Parkplatz, da wir mit dem Mietwagen unterwegs waren. Bei Ankunft zeigte sich, dass die Parkplatz Situation im Zentrum katastrophal ist. Also fragte ich nach dem kostenlosen Parkplatz - und bekam erklärt, dass alle Stellplätze in der Stadt kostenlos sind. Ich will nichts unterstellen, aber diese Forumlierung in der Beschreibung ist sehr irreführend. Musste dann weiter weg selbst etwas suchen. Rezeption nicht rund um die Uhr besetzt.

Personal sehr nett. Zimmer war sauber und ordentlich. Küche gut ausgestattet, etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es funktioniert. Das ist die Hauptsache. Lage war ebenfalls gut. Ich denke im Sommer wird mehr los sein. Mir kam die Ruhe aber ganz gelegen. Einzige Kritik: Warmes Wasser ist Mangelware. Jedes mal wenn ich duschen wollte (egal ob morgens oder abends) war das Wasser fast immer kalt.

Dortoir avec tout l'essentiel sans grand flair
Décevant de devoir patienter devant la réception en pleine journée (sous la chaleur) avant d'enregistrer ou même pour poser n'importe quelle question. En raison de structure d'accueil trop déchirée entre plusieurs emplacements avec une seule personne en charge par créneau horaire. Des dépôts à payer pour pouvoir utiliser la clim avec d'autres personnes en dortoir qui ne sont pas forcément responsables du bon fonctionnement de telle...et s'en foutent totalement. Difficile à récupérer si l'on part le matin avant 10h, leur ouverture. Le coffre coûte 1€ par jour! Le personnel est plutôt agréable et s'exprime bien en anglais, même si les efforts au-delà du standard semblent poser problème. Genre rechercher plus d'info sur transports ou excursions... Agréable choix de boissons fraîches dans le frigo en réception, prix bien raisonnables! Ouverture étendue de la réception jusque tard, vers minuit, si la personne n'est pas empruntée ailleurs. Beaucoup de bruit la nuit devant l'hostel dans la rue, même vitres fermées (ce qui s'imposerait pour profiter de la clim, pas évident pour tous les occupants ...)
