I loved this hostel. The common arreas are so nice, you can work, eat hangout with a beautiful view even in the livingroom. They clean during the day so the common spaces were always on spot! The location is perfect, in the center but the streets around are still quiet. The staff is amazing! They are welcoming, happy to help. The kitchen is a huge plus for me! Well equipped, nicely maintained, they really take care of the cleanness in every common space. I was sad to leave and I would come back anytime.

I felt like home immediately! The staff is so nice! The location is close to the old town. The cliffs are on walking distance (really nice to watch the sunrise or sunset). I stayed in the female dorm and loved the energy/decorations. Extra plus point: the wooden beds were stable! So I slept perfect!

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
