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.

Great location in the middle of old town, but not my favorite hostel. While I had a locker for my things, the door to my room did not lock which I found unsettling. It also did not feel particularly clean compared to other places I’ve stayed. Quiet hostel with nice common areas, but didn’t feel very secure or clean and did not find the atmosphere to be very social.
