Hostel Luanda City Hostel  

20 Jan 2025

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 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!!

Nice and clean hostel! It’s located on the ground floor of a residential building and there is basic kitchen, good for self caterers. The neighbourhood is very interesting, there is a local market and a supermarket close by, across the main road you can get public transport to the city centre. The people running the property are very friendly, helpful and will make you feel home immediately!

Extremely clean and friendly staff. Good location. Great value for money in a city with expensive accommodation.

The hostel is in a friendly residential neighborhood, not too far from the airport. Pickup was something like ten dollars and I'd very much recommend it unless you've been to Luanda before and know what you're doing. Getting to and from the city center is fast, cheap (1-2$) and easy with Yango app. Any driver around town will understand the simple phrase "Prenda na LG" and drop you off about 50 meters from the hostel (though with some Portuguese or sign language they'll take you right to the entrance, too). At the hostel, the staff is super friendly and helpful with everything. It certainly isn't a fancy flashpacker boutique establishment, but it's comfortable, there is air con, hot showers, a kitchen, common areas.. really all you need if you don't expect luxury. Despite it's reputation, Luanda (and Angola) is surprisingly cheap and an amazing place to explore - there just isn't a great amount of budget accomodation catering to international tourists. All the more reason to give this place the praise it deserves!
