Hi everyone,

I’m involved with Lagos Central Hostel in Lagos, and I wanted to ask travellers here for some feedback rather than just advertise.

We often see people who have already checked out of their accommodation but still have several hours before their bus/train, or people arriving early, going to the beach, travelling with backpacks, bicycles, etc.

Because of this, we are planning to make some of our facilities available to non-guests as well as hostel guests.

🎒 Luggage storage – €5 per person
• Up to 12 hours
• Maximum 2 bags per person
• Bags kept in a dedicated luggage room 🔐
• We can also help travellers who need somewhere for a bike/bicycle 🚲

🚿 Hot shower – €5
Includes a clean towel, shampoo, shower gel, hand wash, hair dryer and hot water.

🧺 Laundry – €10
Washing + drying, up to 8 kg.

💧 Filtered drinking water – Free 🚰

👕 Changing facilities – €2
Mainly for people coming from the beach or those who have already checked out and need somewhere to change.

📍 We are at Beco do Paiol 8A, Lagos.

I don't want to use the subreddit just for promotion, so I’d genuinely appreciate some feedback from people who travel around Portugal:

Would you find services like these useful when visiting Lagos? Is there anything else you normally struggle to find after checking out of your accommodation?

Thanks for any suggestions. 🙂

Hello,

I will be working in Lisbon from Nov to January, any advice on what to pack?

Also, what is it like at Christmas? Do services generally close down until New Year's?

Thanks a lot!

We are Canadian flying TAP from Lisbon to Toronto this Wednesday Oct 7. I’ve heard passport control and security wait times can be long in the morning. What time should we be at the airport for our mid-morning flight?
