Great location for accommodation as it’s right on the edge of all the shops and restaurants of the old town. However, it is on a street with cars and near nightlife so is super loud at night. When we got there the bathrooms and dorm were very dirty. The floors in the dorm room do not get cleaned so there is dust and dirt covering the floor. Staff are very attentive to issues if you bring them up. Good value for money overall.

very basic hostel but the vibe was fantastic, loved all the volunteers there, met so many cool people, nightly pub crawls were fun, good common areas, big lockers, etc. however, I do wish there were curtains on the beds!

Staff was nice. Bathroom was clean. The PILLOW WAS THE BEST hostel pillow I’ve had. Beds were comfy too. Only recommendations would be to add some sort of hooks in the bathroom so there’s somewhere to bring in clothes for changing.

JJ’s is truly the best place to stay in Lagos if you’re looking for a super fun, social vibe. There are two outdoor patio spaces that are great additions, and give a good third place to hang out. Nightly pub crawls, super welcoming staff who make you feel at home. Would recommend in a heartbeat!!

The staff was great giving all the recommendations of where to go, super easy check in. There are two locations that are relatively small. I enjoyed the free pub crawl and laid back feel of it all. It felt like staying at someone’s house more than a hostel. I’d recommend staying here to meet people and have a good time but not really for a place to chill and hangout.

One of my favorite hostels ever, because it doesn’t feel like a hostel, it just feels like living with your friends. I stayed in this hostel twice, because I felt so at home there. The location is great, super close to bars, coffeeshops and the beach. Felt very safe walking back late at night. I will definitely stay here again.

Loved JJs! Great staff, JJ gave me a full run down of Lagos even when I arrived late at night past check-in. So lovely, volunteers great too. This particular place only has 2 rooms so it’s quite small but links up with JJs Yard 2 for hostel activities (pub crawl). Would definitely stay again :) Only downside is there was no AC in my room.

Besides the initial check-in with JJ who was very kind and down to earth, I barely saw staff on the property. Security and access to the building + room was questionable (ie, easy passcodes to enter the building and doors to the rooms were often left open). Cleanliness/ hygiene of shared spaces was less than average of other properties I stayed at during trip. I later learned JJ's Yard has two properties, and it's likely that staff spend most time at the other (larger) property.

Had really great time here, the staff were nice and felt more like friends than staff, cozy balconies and a rooftop terrace was nice. Can’t speak for future visitors to come but none of us used the lockers because the overall vibe felt chill and trustworthy. Definitely would recommend, especially if you like partying :)

Great place - terrace is lovely and good location. Pub crawl was the best ever (and free!) thank you Johanna and Tom!! Staff are all great! Side note - no curtains on bed, bring a thin lock for the lockers. Overall loved it though

I had such a good time here, the staff was so nice and the pub crawl was really fun as well! The terraces were a nice place for having meals and everything worked out well. JJ or another member of staff was always around and happy to help.
