I really enjoyed the vibe at this hostel! Group dinners were organized, which gave us the opportunity to exchange with fellow travellers if we wanted to. The place was welcoming, clean and really well located.

Do not be discouraged by the comments saying that it is far from the centre - no! It is walkable, you can look at beautiful Algarvian houses on the way, but you will have to walk uphill and down at some point. The neighborhood is quiet, we had a great night's sleep. The villa is well kept, clean, and it felt like our home at that time. The private bedroom is big, bed comfortable, bathroom spacious and shared with another guest room upstairs. Mini fridge in the room and towels provided. Owners are very welcoming, kind and helpful. I would love to return and stay for longer.

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
