Great place to stay! Nice small atmosphere that was great for meeting everyone. Very close to the beach and the amazing cliffs of Lagos. Paulo is also a great host! Was very helpful with planning our day and just a great guy to talk to. Highly recommended for your outgoing traveller

This hostel sits a bit out of town near a famous beach and lookout. I was there in winter and it got quite cold at night, no heating was available and only a thin blanket. Also, while I stayed for about four nights, the room was not cleaned during this time. The kitchen and living room facilities were nice and... More

It was very friendly and clean - a little bit out of town but it was still right across the road from an amazing beach and not too far a walk into town. It had an awesome kitchen which was also very clean and well kept. The manager Paul was very friendly and helpful.

Booked in for 2 nights and stayed 4 instead. Great hostel with excellent facilities. Everything is brand new, beds are super comfy and there is a great little pub next door for beers and food. The hostel is located in a great spot. Only a stone's throw from a heap of picturesque beaches and a short stroll into town. Paul... More

I had a great time at the Big Chill! Stayed there for a week with a friend in early September. Everything's new and clean so great value for money. There's a nice, comfy lounge with a big TV and a lovely roof terrace for sunbathing and BBQs! Paul, the hostel manager was really nice and helpful. And it's only about... More

This is the hostel to stay at if you want to chill out in Lagos. Even if you want to party I think it is a good base point, because at least you can stumble back afterwards and get a good nights sleep. There are enough people around to have some fun, but it's not noisy until the wee hours... More

Building was ok but totally lacking in basics of accomodations. The ceiling in out room was very slanted so we couldnt stand in 3/4 of the small room. The owner also seems to only recomend services provided by people he knows. We asked for a resturaunt close by and he only provided us with a resturaunt we would need to... More

Would strongly recommend the big chill. Its more of a hotel then a hostel. Everything is new and in perfect working order. Awesome living room with internet, big flat screen tv (including Portugal's equivalent to foxtel). The manager Paul provided great local advice on what there is to do during the day and night. He can also speak six languages... More
