    Can't really complain much, only that comparing to other places, the price is slightly on the higher side but then again we had a suite for ourselves.

    Very nice hostel right in the middle of Lagos. Very friendly staff and welcoming feeling. Our room was great, very clean and tidy. The hostel organises many nice activities so it's easy to interact and have fun!

    Vibrant, party type of hostel in the middle of Lagos

    It s designed to party, mingle, for younger people who really don t care much about getting some sleep. There are no curtains on the beds, people come from parties/go to parties and make a lot of noise during late evenings and nights. So if you are looking for a quiter type of holiday, this is not the place for you. The storage box is horrible. Hard to open and noisy.

    The staff was amazing. Very professional and problem solving attitude. For a pretty big hostel is also kept very clean. If I was looking for getting to know new people amd party, this place is just the right decision for you. There is something going on every day that helps bond guests together. The vibe of the hostel is very playful, fun.

    Social hostel w/daily evening activities (some free & some paid). I took part in the pub crawl, a rooftop dinner w/music and paid for a massage. The rooftop pool & the view were the best part (also, the pool was immaculately clean :). Modern facilities w a large kitchen/lounge area & breakfast included. A few of the 6-bed rooms shared a terrace on an upper floor w/an amazing view of Lagos (and the night sky :). I stayed in an 8-bed, but my roommates were pretty quiet -- the AC was strong when I stayed in early October (which I liked :), but the reception also provided duvets if you were cold. Centrally located w/in walking distance to restaurants & bars. Friendly, helpful, upbeat reception staff. A fun stay and I met lots of other solo travelers.

    Only downside I can think of was they messed up my booking, although I booked for 4 nights in 1 dorm they informed me than after 1 night I would have to check out and check back in again into another. The other dorm was right across from my old one though so it was only a minor inconvenience

    I stayed here back in September and it was great! The staff was very friendly and organised lots of events so there was always a chance to meet people. The rooms were very clean and the breakfast was really nice. Slightly more pricey than other hostels but worth the extra money in my opinion

    As a person who also works as a receptionist, I wasn't impressed one of the receptionists' attitude.She was really not helpful or supportive.I know this is "just" a hostel but please, work on the communication! The ladder of swimming pool was broken.

    When I saw the picture about the hostel and the view, I knew I wanna come here.I was right because the roof terrace with the swimming pool is def the best part of the place. 🌊 The room and the attached terrace were also really nice. The breakfast was great,however they should offer not just white bread....but the fresh,homemade pancake is amazing! Don't skip it! ;) One of the receptionist was really helpfuland kind.I forgot her name but she is German and also lived in Bali... (if this helps).Please, appreciate her great and helpful attitude!

    Storage design is not ideal. Impossible to use when someone else is using it. Also curtains on the beds would be a good addition that almost every other hostel has.

    Amazing people and location, but restless nights possible

    Storage places under the bed very hard to open and loud, no curtains in front of the bed = nearly no privacy, in my room with 8 people only 1 window/glass door for fresh air, air conditioning too strong (but you could ask for extra blankets or ask to turn it off, so fine), can be considered as a party hostel with pub crawls every night (can also be positive, depending on the view) which is why people sometimes came late and woke you up

    A lot of activities planned by the hostel, easy to get in contact with other people, nice location, staff very kind and nice, breakfast included, snack machines, balcony with an amazing view, the pool on the top, comfortable bed, possibility to store your own food

    A few things to mention that could improve for a better experience: Breakfast: only slices of bread, cheese and ham, every day. Private rooms: overall all doors in the hostel need to be shut hard, so we barely slept during our trip as doors will be slamming all night. Also, the walls are extremely thin, to the point that we can hear people cough in other rooms.

    Overall, this hostel was amazing. The staff are super nice, location is amazing and the price was great.

    No curtains around the bed which is a shame for a little privacy.

    Hostel was so new and clean. Felt like I was in a hotel! The room I was in was also quiet so it didn't feel like a crazy party hostel but also had the good socialising vibes which you could join in if you wanted to. Also, shout out to Lucas!!

    The rooms are really cold, especially at night. They said they couldn’t turn down the AC, but they offered blankets so that helped a bit.

    This was my first time staying at a hostel, and my experience here was amazing! The facility was clean and the room was quiet and spacious considering there’s 8 people sleeping there. Mostly young people stay there, and the hostel provides several activities like bbq, pub crawls, karaoke and bingo night hosted by an awesome guy! (Follow the flower).

    I hated my bunk bed. It hurt my feet to climb on my bunk bed. Bed on itself was comfortable, but staying up was painful and uncomfortable. I didn’t have such easy access to have place where to put my things, since the bed was quite high even for a tall person like me. Also, I disliked how hard it was to open the locker closet under the bed. Opening it was hard and noisy. I didn’t like showers. There is some shelf missing to put the toiletry bag on. I had to put it on the dirty wet floor and it was a bit nasty. Lastly, the breakfast. I missed healthier options. Nothing complex. Some eggs, yogurt, more fruits, better quality bread or musli/plain oats would solve it.

    I really liked my stay. I’m not a regular hostel traveler, but I must say, that stay in this hostel motivates me to stay in hostels more. Nicely designed for socializing. Beautiful common area, shared balconies. Nice tour options, and activities. Amazing friendly staff.

    Some more rigid rules for the noise during the night. Also the AC in our room was not working and room had a funny smell. Complained about it but they say they would be able to clean jt.

    Common spaces, and terrace very nice. Also the bunk beds were comfortable enough. Good location near city center and sea. Really liked the group activities.

    location, lots of party guests (therefore extremely loud), no locks available at the front desk, issues with wrong booking (not put in an all female dorm like we reserved upfront), some of the staff came with an attitude, chaotic here and there, crowded

    nice bathrooms, good beds, nice rooftop, clean, sheets available, some staff was super helpful (Laura was great!), kind and tried catering to our needs a lot! + activities around the hostel (like karaoke, BBQ etc) if that's what you are looking for

    You can leave your bags in the luggage room after check out for a 2 euro fee which was a little surprising (not in a good way) as other hostels normally offer this for free. Cheaper than bounce tho.

    The 8bed dorm I stayed in was spacious and clean as well as the bathrooms. The hostel organizes pub crawls, grill parties (so it is a bit of a party hostel but the party should officially be kept out of the rooms) etc. so you can socialize outside the rooms. It's very close to the centre (yet the neighborhood is quiet), the bus and train station and the postcard-beautiful beaches.
