Our verdict
Top City had the highest Hostelworld score of the big Lagos social hostels when we checked (9.3 from about 2,400 reviews), and the rooftop pool is a real draw. It runs pub crawls and BBQ nights but also has private suites, so it suits people who want a social hostel without a pure party one. Dorm beds cost more here than at most Lagos hostels.
Who it suits
Good for
- Travellers who want a pool
- Couples who want a private suite in a social hostel
- Solo travellers who like organised events
Not for
- Tight budgets (dorms cost more than most Lagos hostels)
