Location is good, but no fun in hostel, beds are too small and uncomfortable.

Everything was good, except of noisy street. But there is only two alternatives, to live far from center in quiet place, or accept it.

While located in a great part of Lagos, the hostel was dirty and infested with ants. The ensuite shower was not usable, and the room was so cramped with furniture that it was difficult to maneuver. If you plan on being out all night you're picked the right place, but if looking to get any sleep, pack ear plugs! Many of the rooms overlook the main square which remains loud and busy until 5am.

Great Location, right on the main street, it can be noisy at night but i loved having a balcony that overlooked the main street. The rooms were pretty average but we were always out doing things around the amazing lagos! I would recommend.

The staff did not speak english and they were VERY unhelpfull about everything. The doors squeak so we couldn't sleep, and there were ants all over the bedroom and bathroom. We only got one key for three people (which ment we always had to leave and arrive at the hostel at the same time) untill we complained enough to get an extra set. Would never stay there again.

the key for three people is tottally untrue , because we gave a key for any guest in the same afternoon of the arrival.So please dont lie!!

For location and price, this hostel is Excellent. Restaurants and shops are literally on your doorstep and a short walk to the beach. The facilities are basic, as you would expect for the price. There a dining room type area, which is more or less of no use, as although there is a microwave and fridge, there is no other real space to store or prepare food. I beleive this is a family run hostel, and you are not guaranteed to have an English speaking member to be able to help you.

Not the best hostel ever, but nice enough. No AC, no breakfast, but good pricing, great location and friendly staff.
