Good family run hostel. Support the locals and stay here! Free laundromat. Smallish bathrooms but functional and decent if you shower off peak. We were in slow season (April 2018) and not many people were here so it was AMAZING. If you find yourself near Lagos this hostel is great. Fast free Wi-Fi! Kitchen is small but functional — I wish they had a full oven for pizza, but we made do with the stove top. Five minute Walking distance to major downtown attractions and same distance to a great grocery store (Spar) with good fruit and meat and yogurt selections.
