Reviews of Caravela Hostel

11 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Everything was fantastic, but during the day no staff could speak a word of English so asking questions about attractions and nightlife could not be done. There was a man their after 730pm but thats no good when the day is over and your already out for a big night, you never see them. Would stay there again and recommend it.

Liked: I really liked this place. We were on the top floor, which has shared bathrooms, but our room had a sink in the room (I think they all do) and that is really convenient. Makes sharing the bathroom really easy, since people end up only sharing the shower. The rooftop patio is a great place to unwind, sit with a bottle of wine and some cheese, and watch the hustle and bustle below. Internet is a little intermittent if you're on the top floor. Great location.

26 August 2009 Malaika would recommend this property

Liked: We had a great room with a balcony looking out over the main street, which is a walking street so you can stand on the balcony and people watch. The room was huge with shower and sink in the room and the beds were comfy.The lady that ran the place had very little english but was lovely and made us feel very welcome.I would definitely stay here again.

22 August 2009 Eric would recommend this property

Liked: generally very good place to stay. right in the middle of the town, close to all the bars / restaurants and not that far from the beach. the rooms are tiny, but everything is clean and relatively new. shared bathrooms were always clean. staff only spoke a little english but were really helpful anyway, good value for money!

Liked: The hostel is located in the centre of Lagos. All the interior is quite old, but it's kept clean. The owners speak English and are friendly and helpful. If you do stay here go to the Shakers bar and have a drink with George, the bartender.

10 August 2009 Gayle would recommend this property

Liked: The location was fantastic, you had the heart of the town on your door step. I nice stroll to the beach. It can get a little noisy not just from being in the heart of the town but the loud birds that screech in the mornings. I guess that would be anywhere. Its shared bathrooms but its not inconvenient. It was nice, cosy and clean. Bonus is that it has WIFI and a computer with free internet if you need it. If you are driving your GPS won't find the street, you can't drive down that street anyway, just pick up a map before you get there, or google map it and park somewhere and walk down.

28 July 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location was fantastic and the place was clean and the staff were very friendly. They even gave us breakfast for free on the last day. However if you are looking for a party hostel this is not the place, as there is no common room or meeting area. Free internet and access to computer was great as it was expensive in the town.
