This was my 5th visit to Lagos & my 2nd stay in Olive Hostel Lagos. The difference between Olive Hostel Lagos & other hostels/hotels/airbnbs is that it actually feels like a home. I came with a very modest itinerary of watching the sunrise every day, going for a morning swim, taking rooftop morning naps, spending the day at the beach & regenerating in the hostel in the evening... recharging in a beautiful place. In Olive Hostel I was able to combine the "vacation" feeling of being away with the comfort of staying at home. Social: the atmosphere of Olive Hostel is lovely & you can usually find someone else on the same wavelength as you; otherwise it is also possible to just keep to oneself if the social batteries need charging. While the hostel has relaxing, harmonious vibes there are plenty of party options a few minutes walk away, should one be in the mood for festivities. Technical : unlike most hostels, there are actually enough bathrooms/showers for everyone; the kitchen has enough storage for groceries and has plenty functional utensils, dishes etc. In fact, this is the only place I ever think to cook. The outdoor patio, the balcony, the rooftop, the living room/reading room all offer plenty of space to relax and chill on slower days, evenings, or during bad weather. Cleanliness: as a clean freak who usually considers everything to be dirty, I can testify that the Olive Hostel ist super clean. I truly appreciate the efforts made in this regard, considering the number of beach/backpacker shoes this place must see. Olive Hostel also offers a laundry service, but if you like doing your own laundry there are 2 laundromats within 1km. Staff & organisation: I found booking/check-in/check-out to be uncomplicated & felt that staff were always motivated to find solutions for individual needs. Everyone is very kind and helpful & wants you to be comfortable.

Everything was perfect. The atmosphere in the hostel is something else. You feel like at home. Its clean, the staff is nice. Despite the fact that it is a hostel, you still have pretty a lot of privacy. There is a nice rooftop, patio and sitting room. The hostel is quiet with relaxing music. It was my second stay and it was the same as before - simply 10/10. The bed is comfortable, they added privacy curtain to lower beds which is great. I like that the bathrooms are very private even though there are being shared. You can lock yourself in the bathroom and comfortably take a shower or use the toilet. On Sundays you have opportunity to get a massage from a professionalist at the rooftop in a really good price. I payed 30€ for 1hr massage! The location is great. The staff is nice. I slept in many hostels, in many different countries, but this one is the best so far. I recommend to everyone.

Hostel Oliveira has a really nice atmosfere, with funny and beautiful vintage things, even in the kitchen.It makes you feel at home, everything feels relaxed and free( in a good way).There is a great rooftop area with yoga classes in the morning. The visitors are more adults than youngsters, so people in general, clean up behind themselves and conversations are nice on deeper topics. There is a living room, a place to hang out outside, The location is very centric, you can go everywhere from there, easy. There was a roll down screen on the window of my bedroom to be able to make the room dark and keep streetlights out... The staff are sweethearts, helpfull and loving, taking care is what they love to do..genuinely. They organize sometimes indoors parties, with life music and food. They even borrow you a parasol for the beach..! I was in a room with just three beds, which made it like a home.. They have in the kitchen a box or something like that for communal,free things, where people can put their food they cannot take with them..and others can use this..it s great!! They provide coffee, tea, Olive oil..etc. I really had a wonderful time there.Easy to connect with others..

I missed a place where I can 100% safe leave my passport and real valuables during my stay..with the staff or in a safety box. The neighbors from the opposite hostel can be loud.. It is good to bring earplugs so you keep street noise(there is not so much)out of your dreams. The door from the room I stayed could be made less sounding( for night toilet going in and out of the room).

The place was very cozy and welcoming. The staff made every effort to create a fun space for people to socialize and relax in, organizing dinners, bonfires, games, etc. The outdoor areas (garden and rooftop) were definitely a great addition to the property. The house was decorated with a lot of taste, and the kitchen was well equipped. The hostel is in the heart of the old town and ideally located a stone throw's away from lots of cafés, restaurants, beaches, shops, etc.

I stayed in the 4-person mixed dorm where the beds were very creaky. Whilst the hostel is definitely geared towards leisure travelers, I do not recommend it for digital nomads seeing as there are few calm spaces to work and the wifi was a bit patchy at times. There could be more bathrooms for the number of people in each room. However, these points were minor and I will definitely be back!

Absolutely brilliant place. It was friendlier and cozier than I expected a hostel to be. It's design makes you feel like you're in a traditional Portuguese house. Perfect location, 5 mins walk from most landmarks. You can find quiet areas for a bit of privacy to do some work easily. The people who hang out there are approachable, you can easily make friends if you want to. The staff will go the extra mile to help you out. They've got facilities that I didn't expect them to, e.g. After sun lotions or being able to rent a beach tower for €1.

Can be a bit noisy but that's expected in a hostel. Just ask the staff for some earbuds, they're prepared 😅

I have done a lot of worldwide traveling and staying in hostels all around Europe, south east Asia and Australia, this place is greatly located so your close enough to take a very short walk to the centre, bars, restaurants and night life but tucked away enough that you don’t get no disturbances from this. I have never stayed in a hostel where I have felt a place so relaxing, authentic to its country and welcoming as I felt with this place from the amazing environment and space they have with a warm an wonderful team of staff. I wish I could have spent longer in this beautiful home away from home 🥰🇵🇹🥰🇵🇹

Location was excellent and the common areas were fantastic and well decorated, with lots of games and things to do. I was lucky that a bottom bunk with curtain was available and the fan in-bunk was much appreciated. Very clean. I didn't really use these much but the free left food corner, honesty box for snacks and left toiletries corner were also fantastic ideas. Kitchen looked extremely comprehensively equipped, plenty of toilets and showers for everyone. Spacious rooms.

The plug sockets in the bed were hard to access. Bed was a bit old, mattress could do with replacing. Some noise from the street from the hostel opposite at night but that's not their fault.

This truly is a magical place and the way a hostel should be. They managed to create a very homely and cosy environment with multiple places to hang out. You can easily see that this place is created with love and has a soul and an own identity (in contrary to all those generic soulless hostels). With setting an environment like this they attract a crowd from many different backgrounds and a wide range of ages. You immediately feel home and welcome. It is very easy as a solo traveller to meet people here and feel part of the community. Yes, they succeed in one of the primary functions of a hostel for me, creating an openminded and welcoming community. This is certainly in my top ten hostels worldwide.

First of all, I felt safe and loved at Olive Hostel. The hostel is beautifully decorated, everywhere I looked I saw that the hostel is run with a passion. With love for people, I felt taken care of from the very beginning. Olive is very clean, the lady who cleans there (I noticed ) is welcomed by the owner with love and gratitude for her work, she smiles at you when she cleans. The space is so nicely arranged that you actually don't feel like leaving, the guests integrate with each other, the feeling that it is a hostel disappears, after a few days' stay I felt like I was in a commune or a part of a family not in a hostel. This place is full of love and joy. If a place can be said to be enlightened, this is it. It has a spirit.

The terrace as well as the entire space was absolutely spectacular - we felt so at home, and all of the staff were so lovely. It was very clean, and the energy of the entire space was so comfortable. We could not have appreciated it more.

The only downfall to the location that was quite central - is that often at nights there were other folks drinking and loudly chatting outside, so sleeping would be a bit annoying. I don't think this is unique to the property though.
