Rua 25 de Abril 13; s €45-60, d €50-70; )
This little gem is
one of Lagos's best-value spots. It's a central, well-run and delightfully welcoming place,
with comfortable, neat rooms, some with sea views. Owner Rui (and helpful staff) are
people-in-the-know. A simple breakfast is an added bonus.
Pousada da Juventude

Rua Lançarote de Freitas 50; dm/d €17/45; )
This well-run
hostel is a good place to meet other travellers. It is slightly worn, thanks to its popularity,
but there's a kitchen and pleasant courtyard, and the reception is very helpful. It's open 24
hours.

Rua Cândido dos Reis 83; d €90; )
Rooms in this simple,
unpretentious, but adequate spot, are small but comfortable, with parquetry wood floors
and balconies (no view).
Inn Seventies
(Rua Marquês de Pombal; d €90-120; )
There's a touch of Austin Powers here - a retro-
mod spot that bills itself as 'boutique' in a converted 1970s bank building. The owner has
flipped out on the decade's theme across its 10 'suites' - think psychadelic blues, limes,
purples and reds. It's fun, if verging on 'nearly-but-not-quite-there'.
