Please book only after reading this SPECIAL NOTE: this is a diferent Hostel, meant for people who want to chill. This is not a madhouse. We are not and we can´t be Party Central. For those hardcore partiers looking to live it up like a rock star and have the best week you'll never remember, we strongly suggest that you book one of the other places in town who specialize in creating that type of atmosphere. You're never far from a great party in Lagos, but following it up with a good night's sleep in a relaxed and serene environment is priceless. That is what you will get at Carlos House.

Carlos House has nice fresh rooms, real clean and cosy, most with natural ambiance. Each room is made for 4 or 6 people.
Kitchens are available for guests use. You can enjoy our large terrace with beach, sea and town views until 11 PM. There is also a barbeque and fun for everybody.
And for our guests, free broadband Internet access and Wi-Fi. Payment is in cash.

Welcome to Lagos, a small laid back town, famous by its good vibe and party atmosphere, not to mention the warm and sunny days. Here you’ll find top quality beaches with their clear sands and clean waters. Our coast has great quality of air and seawater hard to find elsewhere in Western Europe. Lagos has also an interesting historical heritage. If you are experiencing Spain & Portugal, travelling here it’s definitely a must, since Lagos has the perfect atmosphere for everybody.

We are located in a area which has marvellous conditions and multiple choices on Surf, windsurf, kite surf, sailing, kayaking, microlight flight, jogging, horse riding, safaris, seafaris, grottoes trips, fun parks, water parks, big game fishing, dolphin watching and much more!!

Our team has experience in promoting accommodation and working with tourists who enjoy outdoor and sportive activities. You can try activities like small boat trips for less than € 9 or kayak from just € 25 or a Surf day trip from € 35 or even boat fishing for about 14 euros an hour. Renting scooters may be about € 25 a day, just to mention some examples of local competitive prices.

At Carlos House we help you with any information you might need about Lagos and area and also about other great places in Portugal, what to see, how to get there, bus and trains timetables and more.

We offer 24-hour check-in and security, although the main check-in time is between 12 PM and 12 AM. Please let us know if you have to arrive at a different time. We have individual lockers in the rooms.

Carlos House is located in Lagos downtown in a quiet place, but within walking distance from beaches, sea and all facilities, including restaurants and bars. Lots of nightlife around.

Portugal is easier if you are in a budget since most supermarket food and beverage is cheaper then in most western European countries. You can also get food out in lots of places. Meals may range from 3 - 4 euros (take away Chicken shop) to 6 - 9 euros for pizzas and special pastas. Light meals may be around five euros or cheaper and you’ll find awesome meat, fish or seafood dishes ranging from 7 to 15 euros.
At night, booze at the best spots may range from only € 1.50 to € 6.00 a drink for most of them, including shots and cocktails.

Specials: We inform about special transportation from Faro Airport to Lagos and from here to there. If you are interested, contact us (48 hours advance) after making your booking.

5 This was the best hostel I ever stayed in!! It's an excellent place to meet people. It had a great roof terrace and it's not far from the city center.

5 I was there at the end of June 2005 and I had a great time there. The owners make everyone feel like they're at home and they arrange barbecues and other fun. The atmosphere is great and all the guests hang out with each over on the roof terrace in the evenings. I met some really nice people there. No doubt it's the best hostel in Portugal. You have to go there!! And to Carlos and Arthur, thanks for everything!
