Liked: It was located in the center of Lagos, so you always felt safe returning home. It had internet access

Disliked: it offered only one computer, since we had a room for three people the third bed was brought into the room from probably a storage room and had a lot of bugs in it :(

Liked: Situación, en pleno centro de Lagos. Literalmente en la calle de restaurantes y bares.

Disliked: Nos tocó una habitación del segundo piso y habia que subir por la escalera mas estrecha del mundo con las maletas. Había bastantes hormigas en la habitación.

Liked: wi-fi gratuite, situation dans la rue principale

Disliked: murs, portes, fenetres en papier á cigarettes (hotel extremement sonore), sanitaires partagés. Il est TRES difficile de dormir correctement. Cet hotel vaudrait 20€ la nuit.

01 August 2011 April would recommend this property

Liked: Location, staff polite.

Disliked: Very cramped rooms, stayed in a huge apartment block in Albufeira (suggested by you) with a pool and self-catering services provided for less money per night than here. The name 'hostel' gives the wrong impression, there is nowhere to cook and the atmosphere does not match that of a hostel.

Liked: This is a great place to stay in Lagos. Hostel is located in heart of Lagos. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I will definitely choose that place if only come back to Algarve.

Disliked: It's a little bit loud (high season) if you stay in rooms located in front of the street (no problem for me, at all:D). i think it could be inconvenient for people favouring quietness.

Liked: Great location in the pedestrianized area of shops, restaurants, etc.

Disliked: On the last day, we returned to pick up our baggage that we had left in storage for the morning. The closet it was in was locked and no one was in the office. We rang the service bell to no response. We called the hostel, and the phone rang inside the locked office. Finally a worker came after 30 minutes and claimed that she never heard the bell. Because of this long delay, we missed our bus out of town. Big inconvenience, all at 2-3 PM on Sunday. Where was the staff!?

Disliked: It does take a while to walk to the beach, however this hostel is inside the main town and really close to the bus station

Liked: The location is really good, in the very center of Lagos and close to the beach, good wifi internet

Disliked: Noisy in the evenings (nights) especially if your room is facing the street, on the other hand if you have a room facing the street you may have a balcony that looks at the main street. It's bareble to sleep there for a few nights if you do not pay much attention to the noise from the street.
