    Lovely hostel, really friendly owners who were happy for us to leave our bags after checkout. We had the private room which was extremely affordable and great value for money, really comfy, great location and close to everything you would want to do in Lagos. Would definitely stay again, thank you!

    The aircon made the room smell so bad. The showers leaked all over the floor!

    Great beds in the dorms with lots of privacy even though lots of people in the room. Such kind managers - Mady and Stely - very helpful and accomodating!! Great location and facilities

    The location was ideal for me: 2min walk from the bus station and the city centre was just around the corner. I was welcomed by the friendly owners and shown to my cute room which was comfy and nicely decorated. As it was to the back of the building I hardly heard anything. The shower was hit & powerful. Both bathroom and bedroom were clean and looked well maintained. The common kitchen was large and had all necessities available. The wifi was working very well (strong signal).

    It's quite cramped in the room. There is a high concentration of beds in the room and one shower for eight people, but this is not very important for a successful stay.

    Hassle-free stay. Very good location in the city center, clean, installations working properly. Nice hosts.

    No hairdryers available, and showers lack shelving. Beds are also very loud for some reason so you pretty much hear every toss and turn.

    Good location – very close to the bus station and within walking distance to a couple of beaches. Kitchen is sparse but good if you want to prepare something simple

    It was utterly freezing. I understand this was the case for many places during this time of the year. They had a tiny space heater, but it didn't really do anything.

    The hostel was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the linens were fresh. It was also in a great, central location.

    It was very cold and damp in our room at night. Partly it's just the climate in Lagos in November, but we had a tiny heater and it didn't really do the job. The mattress was damp.

    Location is great - central, close to old town as well as the train and bus stations. The owners are very kind and helpful.

    The bathrooms should get an upgrade. But they were clean so it's fine.

    Good central locations, good beds, good owners. Stayed in the room of 10, had enough space to put my bags. Two bathrooms with a toilet in, wich was enough. The bathrooms were clean, good showers if you figure out the system. We only went there to sleep and shower, we always ate in the city center. If you decide to always eat at the hostel, there are nicer ones. But we had everything we needed.

    They don’t organize activities, not the best for solo travels.

    Perfect location, in front of the sea and close to the old town. Rooms are very clean as well as the bathrooms in the rooms, nice big shower. Cozy place, well furnished.

    Nice place that is only a few years old so the facilities are in good condition. Each dorm bed has its own light and power outlet which was great. The couple who manage the hostel are very friendly and helpful and work hard to make it a nice place to stay.

    Too many beds/people in 1 room. No where to put bags except on the floor, made it a bit cramped but the bathroom was big.

    You have to crawl into the beds, like a den, which gives you privacy when you close the curtain at your feet, but unfortunately not much air. Well equipped kitchen and the staff are great! My room had a tiny outdoor sitting space which was nice. Great location! 5 minute walk to bus station, 10 minutes to the beach & grocery store.
