Set on a privileged location, the Boutique Taghostel is within walking from traditional local restaurants, bars, supermarkets and beaches. Breakfast is not included in the rate. Towels and linen are provided. Location was the best. Staff were friendly & helpful. Especially liked the female dorm upstairs. Beds were not bunk beds, which is always nice. Showers had amazing water pressure & abundant hot water.

Villa 46 Hostel in Lagos provides adults-only accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 2.6 km from Porto de Mos Beach, 16 km from Santo António Golf Course and 19 km from Algarve International Circuit. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. 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.

At the hostel every room is fitted with a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a kitchen, a dining area, a safety deposit box and a shared bathroom with a bidet. All units will provide guests with a wardrobe and a coffee machine. The host is wonderful and very attentive, she keeps the place clean and tidy. To me, this place felt like home away from home. I would stay here again for sure :)

And the best thing about the accommodation is the manager Rui who really takes care of his guests. Thanks for everything Rui!

Booked the double room and had privacy and quiet when I needed it. But it was great to interact with others from all over the world

Located in the historical centre of Lagos, a 10-minute walk from the Batata Beach, Olive Hostel Lagos offers accommodation in dormitories as well as private rooms. There is a colourful patio and an on-site bar which offers a welcoming ambience. Free WiFi is available. One of my favourite hostels in Europe and probably the only one that truly felt like home. There’s nice communal areas including the rooftop!
