Liked: How clean the hostel was, the big open areas to hang out and meet people, and the lovely owners.

Disliked: The fact that we didn't have a key to our room and had to rely on the desk staff all the time to open it for us.

Liked: It lives up to its reputation, a party hostel in the purest sense of the word. Mama's crepes are really THAT good. Excellent selection of movies and TV shows on the computer plugged to the big screen. An excellent place to meet new people. Common room is one of the best I have ever seen. All round an excellent hostel. Gladly recommend this to all those looking for a good time in Lagos.

Disliked: Lockers weren't secured for free (have to provide own lock), not a big complaint though. Could have afforded to be slightly less, however it was end of season so this could be expected.

Liked: It was a very social hostel, easy to meet people.

Disliked: They seemed very un-organised. I booked for me and 2 friends (party of 3). Another friend decided the day after i booked that sheºd like to stay too. She rung and they said theyºd keep a bed for her. When we arrived my booking recieved 2 double beds (not 3 singles) this was never suggested on the website and my friends booking didnºt exsist. They said they didnºt take phone bookings and charged her 22euro to sleep on the couch. Un organised

Liked: The rising cock was okay not as amazing as I read thou. I stayed two nights and it wasnt a crazy party or anything like that. The common room closes at 12am. The location is good and the rooms are clean but 25£ is way too much to pay for this place.

30 May 2010 Clayton would recommend this property

Liked: The staff was incredible in recommending beaches, night life destinations, and general directions as well as providing great accommodations during my stay. The 'Mama' of the house makes the best crepes every morning and takes care of every resident in a way that only a good mother knows how. The owner of the house has a great sense about what events to plan and makes sure that the hostel is enjoyable 24/7. I have met so many people here that fall in love with the hostel and Lagos so much that they cannot leave; in fact 3 girls this morning were on a bus to go back home, and told the bus driver to stop and they came back! Lagos is paradise and the Rising Cock is the best hostel to experience everything this area has to offer

Liked: LOVED this hostel. In terms of atmosphere and meeting other travellers this hostel is the best compared to anywhere else ive stayed as there is a big common room where everyone hangs out and watches movies and drinks and then all goes out together so its got a great party vibe, and if you go to Lagos im guessing its to party! Great staff & yummy crepes for breakfast. Only downside was how small the room was and it was quite dark but not enough to stop me from going back!
