The effort and pride the owner and volunteers put into this place really shows. I loved the way they make little gatherings for all the guests, it really makes a difference to the experience of travelling - especially for those of us travelling solo.

Amazing hostel, one of the best I've ever satyed in. Superb location, helpful staff, nice doorm-mates. I couldn't have had a better start of my Fisherman's Trail experience .) I ended up staying for one extra day, that's how much I liked it. + curtains around each bed + shelf and socket next to the bed + nice common area, fridge to store your food + enough of bathrooms, hot water in showers There's tons to do and see around Lagos. Try HooRoo cafe for a nice cup of coffee (finally not those over-roasted Italian style beans, yay) and some nice art .))

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
