    Some facilities are tired. It was a bad smell in a single room. I can't recommend a single room, but the double room is absolutely OK for a short term.

    Great central location, very friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant open terrace on the top of the hotel. A price is very reasonable.

    If they were able to get some more kitchen ammenities that would help a bit.

    Location was great. Rooftop is also a great place for a meal in the evening!

    Excellent location right in the middle of Lagos but still quiet. Nice to have breakfast on the rooftop terrace. Owners were very welcoming and friendly. Nice touch with free water, milk, tea and coffee - very handy to have a fridge to use

    I appreciated having a non-smoking room, but ironically the window opened onto a tiny courtyard used by the smoking guests. So a little hard to get fresh air. Fine for one night, but if I was staying longer I'd request a different room.

    Basic and cheap accommodation, clean and tidy, loved the rooftop! Access to a kitchenette and courtyard.

    Internet was patchy but my demands are for very quick internet.

    Location is very central and room has an excellent balcony to oversee the goings on of Lagos. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely come again. Staff were friendly couple.

    You get what you pay for - it’s not a glamorous hostel and the bed was really uncomfortable but perfect for just a night or two (especially off season) , sometimes the staff don’t respond to the bell or ringing the main landline so I would recommend asking for a personal mobile number , there’s also no proper kitchen

    Well located, small table in a terrace area to eat in, staff were kind to me and upgraded my room when there was a small problem and let me borrow a charger for free (and bag drop is also free)

    Plumbing smell needed sorting; touch unpleasant; Other than that, couldn't complain. Def stay here if by myself, every time in lagos

    Lovely place! Such a good price for a shared room; stayed here 2 nights before & that cost less than 1 night this time; Hidden gem. Very welcoming & easygoing, the late checkout time is really appreciated, i had a lie in, no stress. Bathroom is ok, but private room facilities are great, and these guys need more pics; bidet & sink in the room.

    The whole place was much better than the pictures - except the bathroom was a bit squalid, but shower was hot, and nothing unclean; just crap paint jobs & upkeep - and they need to take new living space/communal room, bedroom pictures, as this place is a steal for the price.

    Kitchen only has : fridge, microwave, kettle, lots of cutlery and plates.

    Photo’s don’t do justice, the room we had it was clean and lovely. Location is great, you are in the middle of city centre. There is a shower and sink in the room. It was quite cold but there are extra blankets and a fan heater. Balcony to the old town was wonderful and you have a small terrace inside. The reception was great, always helpful.

    Noise travels quite well through the doors and walls but luckily the other guests weren't too noisy during my stay.

    Excellent value for money, the place has much more charm than the photos suggest. So useful to have a sink and bidet in my room! Nice little inner courtyard too. Brilliant location right in town centre.

    My bed was very hard! But how i wrote, for 25€ a top alternative to a hostel bed with privacy

    I've spend two days in my 1 Person-room, traveled alone. I've paid 25€ per night, alternative would be a Hostelbed for same price in a shared 12-person Dorm. You can not expect a Hilton Room for that price! I was happy with everything. My room had a sink in, was very happy with that. The location is in the old town of Lagos, top place! 10/10!

    Impossible to pay by card. The location on google maps is wrong, they should fix that.

    Great location. Good value for the money. It is in the city centre and close to everything.
