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.

Super cozy hostel (backyard, roof terrace++) in the heart of the old town of Lagos! Perfect for solo travelers. Two spacious kitchens, many (enough) bathrooms/showers, and everything is super clean. Not a party place, but VERY social. Chill music, chill travelers, endless nights in the backyard. Fridge with beer/cider for self service. Bonfire on chilly evenings. Super friendly staff, I was warmly welcomed by Tiago and ended up staying for a total of five nights! Highly recommended!

Quiet, clean, comfy and spacious beds with black out curtains!! This is the place to go in Lagos if you value your sleep!! They've also thought of everything - numbered hangers for your towels, drying rack for bathing suits outside, lots of space for your things inside your bunk, nice yard area with sun chairs, a small pool, and foosball table. Had such great quality sleep here! And easy self check in and check out.

The property was great. The roof top pool made it. Rooms are tight but manageable. The staff is what really made it. The front door staff was so helpful and seemed to always be in a good mood. The guy who does the entertainment was amazing. He has SO much energy and clearly has a passion for his job. I loved the pool side activities and the hike to the sunset was amazing 😍

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.

    Great location if you don’t mind a short walk to town/beaches. Highly recommend getting up early and walking the boardwalk from Dona Ana car park to Ponta de Piedade for sunrise. Property was clean, bigger than expected, had everything i needed and I felt safe as a solo traveller. Also had free car parking which was great.

    Best location. It's easy and safe to go back to the hostel even at night. And the garden with big trees and plants are amazing. The staff are amiable. Although kitchen area is a bit small but not a big deal because it has all the utensils you need. Bathrooms and toilets are in the every corner so you don't feel any inconvenient.

    Great location, walking to everything..... Tall windows opening out onto a narrow balcony, too small to sit on really but sitting in the room at the opening is just as good. Sunshine all day. Very roomy apartment, very safe area, has a great kitchen with everything you need, a large spacious living room with quality furniture and 2 good size bedrooms with good bedding. Hot water +++ Great stay.

    The hostel is well located but the quality of the room and conditions was not the best one. The staff was very friendly and we like them. If you are in low budget and for short term it might be fine enough but for a longer stay I don’t think is the best match.
