Sunny House, hotel in Lagos

Sunny House is located just a few minutes’ walk from the center of Lagos. This hostel offers free WiFi access and is located a 14-minute walk from the Batata and Dona Ana beaches.

The premises were very clean throughout. The breakfast provision was satisfactory. Given that adequate heating is not part of the contracted provision, the bed linen could be changed more regular as one sweats under all the blankets required in cold weather.

Rising Cock Party Hostel, hotel in Lagos

Featuring a shared lounge, a terrace as well as a restaurant, Rising Cock Party Hostel is located in the center of Lagos, a 6-minute walk from Praia da Forte da Bandeira.

It’s not a party hostel, it’s a party home. Classic party hostel with slightly older facilities but an amazing vibe! Perfect size hostel where everyone is social and can comfortably hang out in the common area for pregaming. Legendary bar crawl, staff was so fun on the pub crawl and helpful day to day and it’s true that mama’s endless crepes will cure any hangxiety. Appreciate that there’s tons of common bathrooms and they were clean!

The Macarena Beach Hostel, hotel in Lagos

Ideally set in the center of Lagos, The Macarena Beach Hostel is within a 8-minute walk of Praia da Forte da Bandeira and half a mile of Batata Beach.

The staff is extremely friendly, the owner, Tommy is a great guy and is actively trying to organize activities and promote and inclusive culture at the hostel. I thought I was only going to stay for two nights and I am writing this on my fifth night with many more to go. Everyone who comes here extends their stay. It’s extremely clean, there’s an outdoor space for hanging out and playing pool. The facilities are clean, and the beds are very comfy and private.

    This hostel was one of the best hostels I had in Portugal. The people were friendly, welcoming and a bit like a big family. I liked the family dinners three times a week. Breakfast is included. You can lock your stuff. It's tidy, clean and you feel safe and cared about. Came for one night only and stayed for eight. Would definitely come back.

    This is the best hostel I've ever been too, such a magical place. The perfect place to meet new people and party. Mama is awesome and her crepe breakfast is legendary and can cure any hangover. Close by are many beautiful beaches and the bus terminal with busses to Lisbon or Faro is in walking distance as well.
