This was my second stay - I first visited in 2023 and came back this year. The room and AC were excellent and very clean. We had a small issue with the AC that stopped working one night, but the staff resolved it quickly. The location is great, close to several good restaurants and Intermarché, and the pool is definitely a bonus. It was a perfect spot for a relaxing long weekend.

I loved this hostel. The common arreas are so nice, you can work, eat hangout with a beautiful view even in the livingroom. They clean during the day so the common spaces were always on spot! The location is perfect, in the center but the streets around are still quiet. The staff is amazing! They are welcoming, happy to help. The kitchen is a huge plus for me! Well equipped, nicely maintained, they really take care of the cleanness in every common space. I was sad to leave and I would come back anytime.

Super cozy hostel (backyard, roof terrace++) in the heart of the old town of Lagos! Perfect for solo travelers. Two spacious kitchens, many (enough) bathrooms/showers, and everything is super clean. Not a party place, but VERY social. Chill music, chill travelers, endless nights in the backyard. Fridge with beer/cider for self service. Bonfire on chilly evenings. Super friendly staff, I was warmly welcomed by Tiago and ended up staying for a total of five nights! Highly recommended!

The hostel is newly renovated, it’s very clean and comfortable. I didn’t even expect to have the kitchen there, especially with all the necessary cookware and fridges. Stuff is very helpful and friendly. We’ve had some small issues with the keys but they happily figured everything out!

    Really great location. The beach is a 10 minute walk and there are busses to Lagos and Portimão. The staff was really friendly and the facilities of the hostel were great: well equipped kitchen, large dorm, great common area. The hostel is cleaned every day by two very friendly ladies. Moreover, the price for a night was quite cheap which was totally worth it.

    This was one of the best hostels I stayed in. Must admit I hardly saw the other people in my dorm so it must have been a bit quieter when I stayed. It felt like I had a private room. Super clean. Great facilities. A pool, lounge and kitchen. Helpful staff. Really close to the bus stop to take you up to neighbouring beaches and Portimau marina for a catamaran cruise. Can’t fault it. Thank you.
