O Hostel é super agradável , com uma localização muito boa no Pelourinho e com um café da manhã super gostoso . As camas são beliches , porém não tão confortáveis , principalmente para quem fica em cima , não tem escadas para descer , é bem ruim . O quarto é grande , e tem poucos banheiros para a quantidade de pessoas , principalmente se vão usar todos de uma vez . Ocorreu um caso comigo , aonde o rapaz acordou no meio da noite e veio parar na minha cama sem cueca , e eu acho que parecia estar dormindo , porém ao avisar ao gerente , o mesmo não se mostrou atencioso em conversar com o hóspede para me da um Feedback , simplesmente falou que ele tinha namorada e ficou por isso mesmo , como se isso me desse prova de que nada iria acontecer , achei bem machista da parte dele . Então não me senti segura sobre quartos compartilhados e unissex neste lugar .

Persone fantastiche, ostello stupendo, vivace e colorato. Riccardo e le ragazze che lavorano nell'ostello (Lua, Ale, Rai) sono persone deliziose, super disponibili e accoglienti. Ho conosciuto belle persone e condiviso con loro il più bel carnevale di sempre. Super consigliato!

The few good things of this hostel are the happy hour with free Capirina that facilitates the socializing, and the location in the old town. Cleanliness is also on point, with the maids taking care of the place several times during the day.
Unfortunately there were too many things that in my opinion didn't justify the relatively high price.
- no kitchen at all, no fridge, nothing.
- credit card payment not accepted (in Brazil you can pay by card everywhere)
- very indoor small common room, with only two desks. If you need to work on your laptop, good luck to find a free spot.
- The bottom of my old wooden bed fell apart during the night, which basically impeded my sleep, and the day after I got severe back pain. I found unacceptable such negligence from the owners, (but after all who cares, we are just the people giving them the money, right? why should we expect some basic comfort). I was too exhausted to ask for refund, but I regret not having done it. Of course I didn't get any apologies either.
- The cherry on the cake is that you have to make the bed yourself and in the morning un-make it and bring the sheets at the reception.

Excelente desayuno, buenísimas las caipis de las 17 15 (cortesía del hostel) y muy buena atención de la mayoría del staff.
Eran las 9 am y tenia que ir al hospital pero como pensaron que iba a demorar mucho me hicieron el check out en el momento y me obligaron a sacar mis cosas (el check out era a las 12). Volví a las 10 del hospital y no pude ingresar a la habitación porque ya la habían limpiado. Me pareció de muy mal gusto y por más que protesté nunca tuve opción.

L’emplacement en plein cœur de Salvador avec ses avantages et inconvénients !
La chambre est très propre et très spacieuse mais n’a aucune fenêtre qui peut s’ouvrir …

Tudo
Não tenho nada a reclamar de todos e do espaço e principalmente do ambiente agradável e gostoso de viver no coração do Pelourinho! Vou fazer uma sugestão kkkkk porém isso sinceramente eh que menos conta porém, deixar ligar o ar-condicionado no período da tarde…. Porém isso sinceramente não eh taaao fundamental pelo menos para mim que adorei o local e os funcionários e a galera e a estrutura TOP

El personal fue muy atento y amoroso, dispuesto a ayudarnos en todo! incluso tuvimos un imprevisto de salud, y colaboraron de la mejor forma para resolver. La limpieza, las camas, el desayuno todo muy satisfactorio.
Detalles. El ventilador funcionaba por tiempos y hacía mucho ruido, la ventana del cuarto era muy pequeña y al cuarto se llegaba subiendo dos escaleras.
4.3
Está muy bien ubicado, el personal es muy amable e incluyen un muy buen desayuno. Además hay una hora de caipis gratis lo que hace ideal para conocer gente.
Es un poco ruidoso. Hay ruidos desde las cinco de la mañana. Y yo estaba en habitación compartida y como mi cama daba enfrente al baño y este tiene una luz que se prende por sensor, me despertaban toda la noche

Great location, breakfast was one of the best we’ve had & the staff went over and above to make our time in Salvador perfect
Nothing we didn’t like, only note is just that the city is super lively and there is always lots of music playing. It can be a bit noisy up until 11pm, but we weren’t going to bed before then so it wasn’t a problem!

This hostel was very social and the breakfast was amazing. The owner is really knowledgeable about the area and places to go that are nearby. I’d recommend arriving during the day while he is there so that you can receive the necessary information at check in.
I would recommend arriving here during the day as the staff at night were quite unwelcoming and unhelpful.

Hostel is nicely located and close to the old town. There is balcony with a nice view and every morning, a delicious breakfast is served. The owners are very nice and helpful.

Nice location in the heart of Pelourinho. Easy access to the port as well. Nice staff and very nice breakfast
4.3
The staff was so friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English aswell! Very cozy atmosphere and great for meeting new people. Also great breakfast.
The bedroom and bathroom was too tiny for all people and the bags.
4.3
Free Caipirinhas in the evenings and great breakfast included! Very good location, very social hostel
4.3
One of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed in, mainly because of the social atmosphere it creates. There are several different communal areas to socialise in and the Caipirinha happy hour everyday brings everyone together and helps new guests to meet everyone.
4.3
Great atmosphere! Stemming from the free communal breakfast, free caipirinha hour and brilliant staff.
Could do with another communal bathroom/shower... but obviously have to try work that in to limited space
4.3
- great location, amazing breakfast, very social atmosphere
- we stayed in a separate house around the corner, room was big enough and the AC worked
Soap in the bathroom would be great
4.3
Nice atmosphere and good breakfast. The pool and the Happy hour encouraged socializing a lot.
The place felt a bit too little for the amount of people, and there definitely too few bathrooms.
4.3
Personalized breakfast, excellent service and friendly faces! And free caipirinha hour 😉
Everything was literally excellent
4.3
Really nice hostel, nice bed, nice vibe, welcoming, easy to meet new people, clean. There’s a really nice breakfast everyday from 8:00 to 12:00 (!), good hang, free Caiprinhas happy hour every day was fun too. good air conditioning in the room, there’s a plug right next to the bed, and a little pool area. It’s right in the middle of Pelourinho which means there’s a lot happening very close by, drum groups, concerts, a main square, some food, narrow streets. but it’s also quite an intense neighbourhood, loud and messy, didn’t always feels the safest at night, although the police was stationed in many corners. nothing bad happened to us since we where a bit careful and wondering in a group, but we heard stories, so just be aware. But the hostel itself feels very safe of course and it’s great to be in the middle of everything. Recommended!
Wasn’t really a problem for me, but there is only one toilet with one shower in each room. So you might have to wait a bit sometimes, again, a very minor thing.
And the location is a big plus and minus at the same time since Pelourinho is not the chillest of neighbourhoods, which eventually was more a plus than a minus.

We slept in the ‘quiet house’ and the room was bright and well decorated. Not even in the slightest run down like some of the hostels and hotels we’ve stayed at. Beautiful hardwood floors and extremely clean with fresh paint and decor. Excellent breakfast, hospitable/helpful owner and staff and the restaurant that goes with the hostel has really great food. Location also can’t be beat.
There was definitely street noise at night until at least midnight (people, music) but it didn’t bother me - you’re in Pelourhino after all. Part of the fun is feeling the pulse there and I doubt you’d find truly quiet accommodation anywhere in that area. Wish there had been two pillows on each bed and more than just a sheet But we got another sheet as soon as we asked and that’s really small stuff compared to the more important things like a comfortable clean space.
4.3
Amazing breakfast and the room nice and spacious.. loved the little pool in the outdoor area and it came really handy after a walk in the sun too

Great location maybe the best hostel in Salvador 😃
