The only thing was that you usually had to wait a while at the door before they could come down and let you in. They usually are on the third floor and might not hear the bell. When you arrive, don't just press it once --hold it down so it can ring a few times.

This is a cool little spot in Luanda. The staff was great and communication was good. I think I slept 12 hours when I stayed there so I can attest to the bed being comfortable. It's a good place to meet other travelers and their internet connection was decent. If I went back to Luanda I would definitely stay there again.

The staff is very helpfull and arrange transport to the airport. It’s also nice to meet other travellers in the hostel cause there are not many other travellers in Angola. Also great that they have a rooftop terrace and a bar. Good breakfast too!

It is difficult to find the hostel, they need to put up a sign that can be seen from the street.

We received a free breakfast of a tasty omellete. The staff were very kind and helpful. The price was good by Luanda standards. We were met at the airport as arranged.

The place is a little hard to find! Our stay coincided with renovations, unfortunately. But that means the roof terrace will be lovely now!

Gomez checked us in at 4:30am and was incredibly friendly and helpful during our short stay. A real gem of a man. The place suited our needs, which was a place to shower and rest during a flight layover.

Very friendly staff, going out of their way to make customers feel welcome. I arrived way before official check in and was welcomed with open arms. Loved the shaded terrace to relax! Strongest WiFi I had in almost a month in Angola. Also staff organised a transfer to the airport for me, which was bit challenging as I had a boxed bicycle with me that didn't fit into a normal car. I liked the location just outside the center, nice neighbourhood vibe, easy enough to get groceries and plenty eateries around, much cheaper than the expensive restaurants in the center or waterfront area. First night they upgraded me to a private room as doorm wasn't yet ready.

The hostel was very good. The guys, Gomez, Adriano and Eddie, were exceptional. They made my stay. They were so helpful. They would go out of their way to make sure I got what I needed. There was a nice rooftop area. Nice kitchen. The hostel is in a local neighbourhood which was a good experience too. Antonio, the owner, was on hand too. He was there to answer any questions and to help in any way he could too. He was born in an house two doors down so he knows the area very well. He spends half his time in London and the other half in Luanda. All in all, a very good experience. I’d stay here again.

It's a hostel, the first, the only one in Luanda! Great staff. Nice location away but not too far from city centre with some good food and drink options...

The mattress of the bed is not good at all. It is to thin and you feel all the time the wood under the mattress. You really have to upgrade that one, otherwise I would have given a 10 out of 10.

The employees of the Hostel are really welcoming and friendly. They helped me a lot with finding an ATM and the supermarket and so on. I loved the rooftop terrace. Still a lot to do for that, but the Hostel is quite new.

The hostel owner is an Angolan who grew up in UK and once worked as a teacher of the English language for many years in Asia. He is super friendly and eager to meet the needs of the guests. He is now turning the house he inherited from his parents into this hostel, so it is still fairly new and still in the process of refurbishment. The hostel is situated at the back of the Methodist Church of Bethel (Igreja Metodista de Bethel) in Luanda, so all guests need to tell their taxi drivers from the airport to drop them in front of the church, otherwise no taxi driver knows where the hostel is. Take the alley beside the church, then after 50m turn left and you see the two-storey hostel with its rooftop decorated with illuminations.

It’s a down to earth place, staff is amazingly nice. The place is in a sketchy neighborhood, but it’s relatively safe, people outside leave you alone. It’s a 40 mins walk to the water front. It’s the only hostel in the city … breakfast is a little expensive for what they serve. Overall it’s a good place to stay.

All excellent. Very helpful staff.

The bottom sheet had no elastic so it did not stay in place properly on the mattress. We would have liked it if there was some more information in the hostal about things to do, maybe tours for example to get some ideas of what to do in Luanda because there is not so much information about Angola on the internet or in the lonely planet. Everything else was fantastic.

It felt save, also the neighbourhood. People in the street are not yet used to foreigners so you have to greet them to make contact, but than you willl always recievea greeting and smile back. The staff is really nice, the go out of their way to help you. The first night the guy walked with us to the nearest supermarket. The breakfast is so good and big that you won't need to buy lunch ;-). The place lies perfect in a quiet street, one block from the main street were you can very easily take public transport minibusses. They go everywere and tell you were to change if they don't go to your destination. You can get pizza, hamburgers or normal dinner nearby the hostel but you can also make your own dinner in the kitchen. The wifi is great!!

The location is walkable from the airport which is a great way to stretch your legs after a flight. The hostel is not in the centre but it’s only a bus ride away or a walk of 40 min.

The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to assist you in anyway they can.
