About

The 17 Party Hostel - Lagos

“The atmosphere was incredible. Tommy, the owner, was super friendly and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a good time – he even joined the night parties and made solo travellers feel welcome. The small kitchen and common area were perfect for meeting people, and the location was close to all the bars and nightlife.”

“Perfect location in the heart of the city, close to the beach and all the attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, always making sure I had what I needed. The rooms were super clean and cosy, with a nice balcony and a great view. I also enjoyed the rooftop terrace. Despite the vibrant area, the air conditioning in the bedrooms made for a comfortable stay. I extended my stay because I didn't want to leave – highly recommend it.”
