I really like Filipe and the way she goes beyond for her guests and treats us like family. She really wants the best for everyone and you see that in all her actions. I also love the kitchen and it's facilities and the patio outside where you can hang out and eat your meals :) everything is super clean and the views are beautiful of the river. I also love the location and how close it is to everything andits so easy to make friends here. I also love the reception staff and the fact that they try to integrate everyone by doing weekly dinners etc. they're also so helpful and supportive and informative of Lagos and where you can go and very social and welcoming! Definitely stay here if you come to Lagos :) the beaches and bus stops and restaurants and farmers markets are all very close as well. If u want u can also book tours!

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.

This was my 5th visit to Lagos & my 2nd stay in Olive Hostel Lagos. The difference between Olive Hostel Lagos & other hostels/hotels/airbnbs is that it actually feels like a home. I came with a very modest itinerary of watching the sunrise every day, going for a morning swim, taking rooftop morning naps, spending the day at the beach & regenerating in the hostel in the evening... recharging in a beautiful place. In Olive Hostel I was able to combine the "vacation" feeling of being away with the comfort of staying at home. Social: the atmosphere of Olive Hostel is lovely & you can usually find someone else on the same wavelength as you; otherwise it is also possible to just keep to oneself if the social batteries need charging. While the hostel has relaxing, harmonious vibes there are plenty of party options a few minutes walk away, should one be in the mood for festivities. Technical : unlike most hostels, there are actually enough bathrooms/showers for everyone; the kitchen has enough storage for groceries and has plenty functional utensils, dishes etc. In fact, this is the only place I ever think to cook. The outdoor patio, the balcony, the rooftop, the living room/reading room all offer plenty of space to relax and chill on slower days, evenings, or during bad weather. Cleanliness: as a clean freak who usually considers everything to be dirty, I can testify that the Olive Hostel ist super clean. I truly appreciate the efforts made in this regard, considering the number of beach/backpacker shoes this place must see. Olive Hostel also offers a laundry service, but if you like doing your own laundry there are 2 laundromats within 1km. Staff & organisation: I found booking/check-in/check-out to be uncomplicated & felt that staff were always motivated to find solutions for individual needs. Everyone is very kind and helpful & wants you to be comfortable.

    Location nice, it was cheap and there is what you need, but it isn’t anything special with interior or with facilities so only good for those which wanna travel with budget and prefer to be outside more. Fyi: They provide few rolls of toilet paper and little soaps. Towels were nice and soft. You pick key from another locations but can left it to the house when you check out. Free parking space really near.

    This hostel was one of the best hostels I had in Portugal. The people were friendly, welcoming and a bit like a big family. I liked the family dinners three times a week. Breakfast is included. You can lock your stuff. It's tidy, clean and you feel safe and cared about. Came for one night only and stayed for eight. Would definitely come back.

    This is the best hostel I've ever been too, such a magical place. The perfect place to meet new people and party. Mama is awesome and her crepe breakfast is legendary and can cure any hangover. Close by are many beautiful beaches and the bus terminal with busses to Lisbon or Faro is in walking distance as well.

    A very welcoming and well equipped hostel located in central Lagos. The ground floor dormitory is clean and reasonably spacious with six bunk beds. The shared bathroom and kitchen are exclusively for the use of the dorm guests. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and accommodating. I can thoroughly recommend this hostel and would definitely stay there again.
