Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Adults-only policy — This hostel does not accept children, so if you're travelling with a family, it won't be suitable.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, which may be a drawback if you're planning to bring a furry companion.
- Shared dormitory living — All room options are dormitory-style, with no private rooms available. The shared kitchen can get crowded at times, according to one review.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead.
- No on-site parking listed — The property doesn't list parking, so if you're driving you'll need to arrange parking in Lagos separately.
