Filipa is extremely nice, knows everyone by name and gave some great tips about Lagos and had amazing restaurant recommendations! By 12 the common areas closed. The hostel is definitely not a partyhostel which i really liked because we could have a good night sleep! However there is no curfew so you are allowed to go out. Also the rooms look out on the harbour, some great views and a beautiful sunrise from the room!

I felt like home immediately! The staff is so nice! The location is close to the old town. The cliffs are on walking distance (really nice to watch the sunrise or sunset). I stayed in the female dorm and loved the energy/decorations. Extra plus point: the wooden beds were stable! So I slept perfect!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.
