The most homely, relaxed and welcoming place I have stayed in. Clean, functional, and with the extra special addition of a pool that was warm. So much more than I expected.

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 horizontal lockers under the bed are not comfortable as you have to pull in and out, they were bulky and heavy as well. lockers blocking each other as they are huge. so you have to wait other people to use their locker and pull over only 1 bed in the dorm where i stayed had a vertical locksr that she did not need to pull in and out so she had the privilage

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Perfect location for exploring Lagos. 6-bed female dormitory was stunning. Shared areas are also very nice. Facilities are clean & well maintained. Atmosphere is laid-back but still friendly & easy to meet people. Staff are welcoming & very helpful! Easily the best hostel I stayed at in all of Portugal
