HI Lagos - Pousada de Juventude - Hostel

Convenient location

Terrible experience for this hotel. Most of those reviews and ratings on the hotel are unmatched: 1. No air conditioning, and no air fan provided. You have to keep the window open when staying in the room to make air flow. 2. Poor breakfast. 3. Noisy guests or people hanging out in the hallway most of the night. I woke up at 4 AM and talked a couple of times with people outside my room to keep their voices down, but they didn't care. 4. Laundry is a big scam. I asked them where the washing machine was, and the staff member showed me a stone-age hand tool, reminding me of my old grandmother when she washed our clothes by hand. I already took pictures. 5. The hotel on Google Maps doesn't match the hotel's address; it took one hour to figure out the right location. 6. Shared bathrooms and showers on each floor. Two times I tried to take a shower, I found young people, male and female, locking it from inside. I knocked on the door many times until they opened it.

Great hostel! Yes the rooms would need to be freshened up a little, but for a hostel it exceeded my expectations. I had booked a private room with private bathroom as I was staying there a couple nights so cannot speak for the shared rooms. Included breakfast which was very appreciated. Clean, nice staff, great location.

Amazing front desk staff. Very accommodating especially with bag drop off and pickup before the check in time. Very clean and central as well.

Buena experiencia

Bien placé et esuipe sympa

El personal muy amable

Enjoyed our stay, basic room but very clean and comfortable. Nice to have our own bathroom, nice breakfast and all staff very friendly and helpful, So close to everything including the bus station.

The property is in a great area. Staff is very friendly and the property is very clean. This is not a social hostel at all. Not interested in staying at party hostels, but do appreciate socializing with people within the hostel. Older crowd of 40-50s with the occasional young person. No AC in the rooms, which was fine most nights if it was cool outside (we just opened the window) but we were extremely hot one night. Make sure to bring ear plugs it’s in a party area so it was very loud at night. We would hear things until 4am sometimes. Overall good property.

HI Lagos - Pousada de Juventude is a five-minute walk away from the old center of Lagos. Staff is super helpful with great recommendations for restaurants and activities to do in town. The hostel is very clean. Our room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was simple but very good. There are lots of other options in town but most will be more expensive.
