Breakfast was nice, the same every day, but very complete. We stayed 5 nights. Of course the location was nice. Walkable to everything."

Top Lagos Hotel Reviews

Carvi Beach Hotel

Carvi Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"Unbeatable location — right next to one of Lagos's best beaches, a bus stop on the corner, and steps from the boardwalk to Ponta da Piedade. City center is a 20-min walk (minor slopes, nothing like Lisbon/Porto). Check-in was excellent, room was clean but with a slight musty smell. The hotel shows its age, but essentials were there and more: balcony, safe, small fridge, and a water bottle you can refill from the tap and chill. No facial tissues though — had to use toilet paper. AC unit is dated and noisy on colder settings; had to set it to 17°C for a decent temp, feels near end of life. Beds were comfortable, better than expected. Breakfast was perfect — as vegans, we found both peanut butter and soy/almond milk at the buffet, plus a nice terrace view. A toilet issue was fixed within the hour, faster than I'd expect from an Airbnb. That's why I prefer real hotels. The one time I needed info on Sagres/Ponta da Piedade excursions, the younger front desk staff gave confusing answers — but other staff I saw elsewhere were thorough and helpful, so likely just bad timing. Being near a beach, it was noisy two nights from late-night partiers — loud talking, door slamming. Suggestion: redo the bathroom silicone/caulking for a fresher finish. Overall: unbeatable location, dated but functional room, great breakfast and service — worth it despite the quirks."
