This hostel has amazing deals for private rooms. They are separate from the main hostel, but it is clean, secure and comfortable. They have WiFi and a communal kitchen and living room. The location was great for us because it was close to a lot of attractions and restaurants, but in a pretty quiet area. It was also close to... More

We spent one night in lagos escape hostel. The location is just perfect: in the old town center, surrounded by bars and restaurant and at few minutes walk from the beach. The bathrooms are clean. The breakfast is served on the terrace: coffee, tea, milk, cereals, jam, butter, cheese, juice... and a tasty omlette :D If you intend to stay... More

Was supposed to stay for 2 nights...ended up staying longer..met great people, had a great time, good breakfast and dinners...great staff...ask for the special long island iced tea!! Sometimes on the weekend the noise is a little loud at early hours...its a small price to pay for the great location

With my travel buddy we checked all the 8 hostels in Lagos before we decided to take 2 last beds in Escape. It was the cheapest of all of them and seemingly with the most character. Rooms are basic but you can lock your stuff in lockers. Our room had a massive mirror so I needn't use bathroom to put... More

Having seen the great reviews, my friend and I were excited to book Lagos escape hostel for our stay on Lagos. However upon arriving we were told that our room was not in the main building(with a roof terrace, fun decor, fun people, etc) but in a separate building 5-10minutes down the street. The room was clean but musty and... More

Having booked another hostel, spent the night there and not enjoyed it, I was welcomed by the amazingly helpful staff. Lara and Kajic go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Linen is changed everyday, the decoration throughout the building is wonderful - a far eastern theme. There is a roof terrace too. I found myself going... More

This hostel is in a fantastic location just above the town. The staff here are maybe the most helpful I have ever met. You get free breakfast on the roof terrace bread, cheese, ham, fresh fruit, yoghurt, tea, coffee, juice and the staff cook you an omelet. There is also a bbq you can use. The staff will introduce you... More

We had a room to ourselves which was clean and bright as were the many individual showers and bathrooms along the corridor. The lounge area was nice to chill out in with a large tv and 2 computers for the internet. The best bit though was the outdoor terrace and kitchen which were lovely, especially for the included breakfast which... More
