    I missed a place where I can 100% safe leave my passport and real valuables during my stay..with the staff or in a safety box. The neighbors from the opposite hostel can be loud.. It is good to bring earplugs so you keep street noise(there is not so much)out of your dreams. The door from the room I stayed could be made less sounding( for night toilet going in and out of the room).

    Hostel Oliveira has a really nice atmosfere, with funny and beautiful vintage things, even in the kitchen.It makes you feel at home, everything feels relaxed and free( in a good way).There is a great rooftop area with yoga classes in the morning. The visitors are more adults than youngsters, so people in general, clean up behind themselves and conversations are nice on deeper topics. There is a living room, a place to hang out outside, The location is very centric, you can go everywhere from there, easy. There was a roll down screen on the window of my bedroom to be able to make the room dark and keep streetlights out... The staff are sweethearts, helpfull and loving, taking care is what they love to do..genuinely. They organize sometimes indoors parties, with life music and food. They even borrow you a parasol for the beach..! I was in a room with just three beds, which made it like a home.. They have in the kitchen a box or something like that for communal,free things, where people can put their food they cannot take with them..and others can use this..it s great!! They provide coffee, tea, Olive oil..etc. I really had a wonderful time there.Easy to connect with others..

    This truly is a magical place and the way a hostel should be. They managed to create a very homely and cosy environment with multiple places to hang out. You can easily see that this place is created with love and has a soul and an own identity (in contrary to all those generic soulless hostels). With setting an environment like this they attract a crowd from many different backgrounds and a wide range of ages. You immediately feel home and welcome. It is very easy as a solo traveller to meet people here and feel part of the community. Yes, they succeed in one of the primary functions of a hostel for me, creating an openminded and welcoming community. This is certainly in my top ten hostels worldwide.

    The street outside was a bit noisy at night so bring earplugs!

    I had such a great time at this hostel. I love how they organise communal dinners on Sundays for €12 - they create a lovely atmosphere, which made so much difference to my time in Lagos as I spent my days with lovely hostel guests. The kitchen is cute like a family home, and always very clean, and the outdoor communal areas are beautiful - especially the roof terrace. The staff are lovely and helpful. The WiFi was working and the dorms are basic but totally fine!

    I stayed in the 4-person mixed dorm where the beds were very creaky. Whilst the hostel is definitely geared towards leisure travelers, I do not recommend it for digital nomads seeing as there are few calm spaces to work and the wifi was a bit patchy at times. There could be more bathrooms for the number of people in each room. However, these points were minor and I will definitely be back!

    The place was very cozy and welcoming. The staff made every effort to create a fun space for people to socialize and relax in, organizing dinners, bonfires, games, etc. The outdoor areas (garden and rooftop) were definitely a great addition to the property. The house was decorated with a lot of taste, and the kitchen was well equipped. The hostel is in the heart of the old town and ideally located a stone throw's away from lots of cafés, restaurants, beaches, shops, etc.

    The location, the reception was in the back accessed by a long dark corridor. Climbing up the stairs every time was not convenient.

    The room was quite spacious. close to the common washroom. The kitchen was efficient, with an attached balcony. The small courtyard in the main floor was nice for small get togethers. The staff maintained cleanliness to a great extent. very friendly, the interior was well decorated with pieces of artwork.
