About

We are a homely, chilled hostel in the center of Lagos, offering humble but clean and comfortable accommodation with all bathrooms communal. We are housed in a old building, we loved to re-modulate it, please feel free to enjoy it. Welcome to good music and vibes where it is easy to interact with fellow travelers. There is a cat, named Vivaldi, in the house.

We are located right in the old city center of Lago with all its bustle, just a stone trough from all the bars, restaurants, monuments and museums but also only 10 min from the beach. Lagos has it all. Even supermarkets, markets, hospital, banks and post office are reachable in 5 min on foot.
We think the beauty of Lagos is it’s variety of adventures that it has to offer for all ages, from escalating parties to rolling down surf and from stunning History to interesting culture, or from beautiful grotto to lovely dolphins.

Our accommodation-range goes from double to twin room and 4 bed female dorm to the 8er mix dorm. The kitchen is the meeting point. It is fully equipped to prepare your own meals, spices and oil are free and in winter you even have the oven going. .The patio with it’s couches is having the colors of summer, but is also comfy in winter. Next to it is the little bar with Music, vine, coffee and sweets. We also have a common room with games, books, magazines and instruments for you to play and an upstairs kitchen which is equally equipped.

Summary of traveller reviews

Olive Hostel Lagos offers a wonderfully cosy and social atmosphere, perfect for solo travellers and backpackers. Guests praise the friendly staff, central location, and inviting common areas, including a great rooftop. Some mention thin walls and occasional noise, but the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, making it feel like a home away from home.

This hostel was absolutely amazing! I felt so safe and it was a luxurious stay! Melani was wonderful. I am not spelling her name correctly, I don’t think. She was so kind!

Good hostel! Unfortunately no AC and it is a little farther from the city center but it is still close to public transportation.
