Olive Hostel Lagos

This hostel is a gem and one of my favorite hotel stays ever. I absolutely loved my stay and could not recommend Olive Hostel more, especially for younger travelers looking to make friends. The community of this hostel is unbelievable--everyone was so kind, welcoming, and friendly, and I made friends from all over the world! It felt like I was staying at a friend's home: everything was so homey and decorated beautifully, and it was incredibly clean and tidy with everything you need. I stayed in the female dorm with a friend and felt completely safe: I'd feel completely comfortable staying here as a solo female traveler. They have lockers with keys where you can store your things, you can rent towels for a low price, and there's a "Honesty bar" where you can buy water, drinks, and snacks. They also have pop up events like yoga on the rooftop in the mornings. The beds were super comfy and we got great sleep. The owner is also the funniest, kindest, and most helpful person ever, we loved her so much! The highlight of our stay was the outdoor living room: at night we all played games together and chatted. 1000/10 experience and could not recommend more. I wish we stayed for longer and will definitely be returning if I come back to Lagos!

Upon leaving I noticed that there were ants in the bathroom, but outside of that the hostel was generally very well-kept and tidy. The wifi is very slow and almost unusable, so if you're looking to work from home you might have trouble.

Unübertroffene Atmosphäre. Man kommt als Fremder und geht als Freund! Wenn Lagos dann Olive Hostel!

L’ambiance ! Je prend toujours une chambre individuelle dans cet Hostel .
