Tudo do hostel é perfeito! A equipe é excelente e super prestativa e acolhedora, a localização é absurda de estratégica, fácil de acessar e transitar por qualquer lugar. Ótimas opções de restaurantes, bares, adega, farmácias e praias muito perto. O chuveiro é quente e perfeito! Tudo muito limpo e organizado o tempo inteiro. A cozinha muuuuito bem equipada e limpinha, ajuda MUITO quem precisa, dá pra economizar muito. Catarina e Anderson da recepção são muito queridos, mas toda a equipe, sem exceção, são inesquecíveis!
O café da manhã é ótimo! Super completo, geleia, aveia, suco e até whey tinha!!! mas poderia ser um pouco mais diversificado (mas até a salsicha e o ovos eram super bem feitos e me sustentaram todos os dias kkkkkkk)

Quarto confortável, a limpeza durante a estadia foi satisfatória. Funcionários dedicados e solícitos.
O café da manhã era bem farto, cuscuz, pão, ovo mexido, bolos, muita fruta, chás, etc
O chuveiro poderia ser um pouco mais forte, mas não estragou em nada a experiência

Atenção dos funcionários, quarto limpo, banheiro limpo todos os dias, áreas livres para usar. Recepção atenta ao acesso do local.
Cozinha limpa e disponível para uso.
Geladeira disponível para uso dos hóspedes.
Dona receptiva. Nada a reclamar.
Pertinho da orla. Perto farol da Barra.
Já é minha segunda estadia 😁
Lugar tranquilo...rua tranquila
Não chega ser um não gostou,
As mesas e cadeiras do refeitório estão precisando de uma reforma na pintura. Sofá também precisa de uma higiene melhorar por ser de tecido.
Para quem só precisa de dormir e tomar banho
Lugar ideal, vale a pena

Gostei que fica perto da praia e bem localizado.perto de tudo.
De não ter cadeado nos armários . Para os objetivos fica bem guardado.

The staff were very friendly and someone waited up to receive me at 3am in the morning. Salvador seems to be quite dangerous but the hostel was located in a nice area.

Le lieu est tranquille, cosy et propre
Les lits sont confortables et la cuisine bien équipée
Le personnel est très gentil! La localisation est parfaite, tout près de la plage et du boulevard qui la longe, ainsi que du phare.
La clim est automatique toute la nuit

Único ponto bom é a localização.
Não gostei de nada basicamente, desde a educação dos funcionários. Como a própria instalação em si. Basicamente não sei como conseguiram uma nota alta, tudo é precário e não tem nada a ver com as fotos. Pra completar teve uma mudança dos quartos. No quarto que a minha mãe estava uma moça caiu da cama pelo encosto do tríplice estar quebrado. No meu a escada correu quando fui cair da cama. Sem falar que os funcionários que não são Br são bem mal educados. Recomendo investir num hostel melhor pq aqui é só dor de cabeça.

Buen trato, limpio y bien ubicado
Colchón en mal estado, se deben cambiar cada cierto tiempo, este ya estaba muy delgado . Falta un espacio para ver televisión, porque la tv que tienen , la usan los voluntarios escuchando su música

Other than this a pleasant stay, just leaves a sour impression. Good breakfast for R$15. Good location.
Had the air-conditioning on compulsorily from 10-8am. No way of controlling it from inside the room. Only had a thin bedsheet. Mine and my friends' beds were both directly under the air-conditioning. The guy at reception refused to give us extra bed sheets, despite there being no other beds for us to move to. They charged R$20 to borrow a blanket. Eventually he agreed to let us have an extra bedsheet after asking us to argue with the other guests in the room and see if someone would swap beds with us. Seems like a complete scam.

The location was nice, right next to a beach and close to the lighthouse to watch the sunset.
The kitchen has everything you need and the beds are nice and sturdy so you do not feel every movement of the other person sleeping in the same bunkbed
The air-conditioning was put on every single night even if people of a room asked to turn it off. There is not a lot of space in the rooms but everyone has a lockable drawer.

location
I booked a room for 6 when I arrived they did have it and put me a room for 8 and explain and talked in the recepcion and they didnt give a good explanation, next day I asked to move the room that I booked and the woman that is in charge was quite rude, the place was too noisy all the time tv so loud all morning and internet didnt work well , then I moved to another hostel.

Location was good . When we arrived the staff kindly put us in an apartment a little further up the street from the hostel. We hadn't booked this but was thankful as the apartment had more room. However, as there was no fridge we still had to use the main hostel.
The language barrier was evident even though staff spoke English I think the understanding was an issue . But they tried to help when they could. We were advised by one staff that the area was not safe after late hrs but we found the area to be well policed and didn't stay out until early hrs of the morning..latest by 12pm and felt safe.
Noisy due to dogs barking in the other apartment early morning.
Poor cleanliness in the apartment

Staff was friendly and there was a good kitchen. Location close to the beach but far from other sights in Salvador.
It was honestly one of the worst hostel experiences i had. It was not always the fault of the hostel, but i had three horrible nights of sleep. People talking loud in the dorm in the middle of the night or early morning, turning on the lights, making phone calls on speaker when you are already sleeping, sending voice notes at 7:30 in the morning. And they just laugh at you or ignore you when you are saying something and keep doing it. Never had so many ignorent people in one hostel. Also the air conditioning is freezing.
When I was staying in the hostel there were almost only portuguese speaking guests, so there was not really a social vibe for international travelers.

4.0
Location is very convenient. Good shared areas.
The room pics from my booking confirmation were not from the room in which I slept. In the pics there were some nice 6 beds and I ended up sleeping in a crowded 15-people room... with many broken lockers.
Same breakfast everyday. One staff guy was a bit annoying after my check-out: no bags room, "u can't do this, don't go there..." First time I experience this in a hostel!
9.0
The volunteers working there are super cool.
It's a great place to connect with people & make friends.
I met a cool group of guys, we partied together & gonna spend NYE in Rio
It would be great to have soap in the bathroom to wash your hands.
I didn't like that you have to pay 20 Reais if you want to stay or leave your bag after 3PM the day you check-out
