Bed bug reports

I wish I had stayed somewhere else, luckily I stayed only one night. I could not sleep, bed bugs were biting all night. Very unpleasant place, when I told the receptionist about the bedbugs, he just said no one had complained before about this, nevertheless, there are like 3 comments about bedbugs before mine. Please take some responsibility

Location is good, and the guys running the place are nice. It could be a really awesome hostel if the just spruced up the place and got rid of the bed bugs! Be weary there is 100% bed bugs

Bed bugs, dirt, fungus. It s near by the City Center- that s all. Actually the decoration and tiles and the patio are very nice, but no one takes really care of the place. We had a private room and the toilet had urine on the lid, the ground was sticky and we the kitchen was so incredibly dirty and sticky that we pre-cleaned before we used any tools. Absolutely not worth it! Spend a little more money and you will find a better place. Maybe the owner starts to take care - I think it has potential

Vibe Analysis
Hostel The White Butterfly sits in a very central Lagos location, close to nightlife and the city center. The staff can be friendly, towels may be included, shower pressure can be decent, and dorms may have their own bathroom. Dorm doors often do not lock, and security can feel weak. The street outside can stay loud late into the night, especially for rooms facing the party area. Cleanliness is the main problem here. Mold, musty smells, dirty bathrooms, dirty kitchens, unwashed bedding, sticky floors, and bed bugs are recurring issues. The building has some charm, with older tiles, patio areas, and vintage details, but it seems badly neglected. This is a very rough budget stop, not a relaxed social hostel. It may only make sense for someone who needs a central bed for one night and can handle noise, poor upkeep, and low comfort.
Signals to check
- Dorm doors may not lock, and lockers may be limited or not fully secure.
- Bed bugs, mold, dirty bathrooms, and dirty bedding are serious risks here.
- Street noise can be heavy late at night because the hostel is in a nightlife area.
- Payment may be cash-only at arrival.
- Solo women may find the atmosphere uncomfortable, especially in shared rooms.
