The Macarena Beach Hostel

This is a place that feels like a big family; Tommy is the owner. He's warm and friendly and tries his best to help everyone. They also have regular BBQs, making it easy to meet new friends. Highly recommended!

The staff are really nice and the owner too, but I realized that everytime they change the bedsheet, they NEVER changed the blanket covers. Also, the bins of the toilets should be bigger, it was always full (because in Portugal you can’t flush the toilet paper). Place is well located though.

The hostel was dirty. WiFi didn’t work in our room. Two working toilets for the whole hostel. No air con and the fan in the room was covered in dust. No soap in bathroom for some time. Staff very cliquey and took up the common area upstairs every night. Front door to hostel often left open and rooms didn’t have a lock so felt quite unsafe. Only plus is the location and is quite social if that’s what you’re looking for.

Always nice

Didn’t like the hostel nor the vibe, tho the location was really good, there’s a lack of bathrooms and they smelled bad

Such a great social hostel, the volunteers and Tommy make you feel so welcome and have great energy, they run free pub crawls!! The hostel is so clean and the beds are super comfy and have curtains. Meant to stay for 4 days, ended up extending for two weeks because it really feels like home. I never want to leave!

Such a great hostel with lovely staff and an amazing owner. A very clean and safe place to stay. Would definitely return! Loved Chantelle, Julia, Evelyn and Karen

Die Türen der Zimmer kann man nicht abschliessen, alles andere ist in die Jahre gekommen und ziemlich dreckig. Die Leute waren cool, jedoch würde ich nicht wieder kommen.

Jeg var 4 nætter i på Macarena Beach Hostel og generelt var det et fint ophold. Et lille hyggeligt hostel med få faciliteter, men god atmosfære. Dog var der nogle ting jeg godt kunne sætte en finger på, som gjorde opholdet lidt uheldigt. Først og fremmest var hoveddøren ikke låst før sen aften, alle og enhver ville have mulighed for at kunne gå ind uden dem i receptionen ville se det, eftersom de ofte opholdte sig udenfor i fællesarealet. Samtidig var værelsesdørene også ulåste...

Le propriétaire et ses employés étaient très gentils. 2 toilettes pour tout le hostel, il manque souvent de papier de toilette. Pour les douches; aucune place ou très peu pour déposer nos choses soit par manque d’installation ou parce que les étagères étaient déjà pleines. Pub crawl où des gens de l’extérieur (qui ne dorment pas au hostel) sont invités et où le code de la porte d’entrée leur ai divulgué alors que c’est la seule place qui se barre puisque les chambres ne ...

Fun place to stay in good location in Lagos, near to beaches and clubs. Great atmosphere. Some amenities were lacking, hardly anywhere to put your things in the shower, never any toilet paper in the mornings, no where to dry your hands. No AC in our room and it was incredibly hot, small dehumidifier did nothing. Was kept clean.

Best place to stay in Lagos. So much fun and shout out to Finn and Tommy

Like a second home!! I was there for 3 nights over my Birthday and it was amazing! Tommy (the host) is super friendly, he cares aboout all the guest and he even offered us all sangria and a birthday cake to celebrate my birthday!! We did two evenings pub crawls with everyone who wanted to join from the hostel and it was perfect. The hostel is really close to a bunch of cute beaches and also close to the best bars and clubs in Lagos! I can definetly recommend this hostel! Thank you so much!

Such a welcoming and fun hostel, got to meet so many great people and make new friends!

Best Hostel! The Staff is amazinggg and Tommy is the best owner. I had a wonderful time. It felt like home. Apart from that, the hostel is located in the best location possible. You can reach everything in about 5min. Thank you for this great time :) Can´t wait to see you all again!

pretty schweeet

Finn, Aoife and Maria were very welcoming staff. And I love Tommy the owner Great facilities and very clean

The Macarena Beach Hostel was the best hostel I have stayed at while travelling Europe. The hospitality and atmosphere while there was amazing. The owner Tommy and the volunteers like Fin made the stay even better.

Epic staff and epic stay. Highly highly recommend, super friendly, fun and social hostel. Shout out Finn and co!

The Macarena was a great hostel to stay at! The staff were lovely and there was a great close atmosphere which made the share spaces lovely to be a part of! Tommy the owner is so kind and made it a great visit, there is access to a spa and sauna out the back and a lounge area if that’s your thing! Each night groups went out with an open invite to others! What a great stay!
