Property exceeded expectations on all levels. This was my first time staying at a hostel and I was hesitant to do it, but the service was incredible and I did not feel much difference compared to hotels. Very clean rooms and restrooms. Staff is super friendly and humble. Breakfast was fresh and very tasty with so many varieties. Location is great for anyone visiting Salvador, Bahia. I met people from all over the world, including Europe, North America, South America. I had an unexpected incident during my travel and the hostel staff including the owner (Olivier) were super helpful and assisted me in every way possible. Definitely coming back if I visit Salvador again.

Charming sitting area on 2nd floor (although I didn’t get much use of it because it was raining for most of the weekend I was there. Breakfast was excellent - every day there were 2 different juices to pick from, a different cake every day, artisan preserves for the bread basket. Eggs, tapioca, cuzcuz to order. Very attentive service and the staff couldn’t have been any more gracious. Also, it rained a lot while I was there and Shopping Barra is only a 5-minute walk from the hotel. I spent time in the mall, people watching.

    This was the third hostel I tried in 24 hours and I was so glad to finally find a place with attentive staff, clean rooms and a great location. Don't be put off by the pictures of the dorms on here, the rooms are very clean and you get fresh linen at check-in. The female dorm with fan was great, beds were comfy and room was bright. There was a bit of an issue with where to put large suitcases/backpacks but otherwise it was great. There are secure lockers for valuables outside the room. I would definitely stay here again.

    The location is the best, in the pelourihno district. The view from the living room feels like standing in the middle of the main square. The hosts, Martha and Jorge are amazing! Super helpful, very nice and open to discuss with. They help us arrange some activities. Even if they don't speak excellent English, they speak Spanish, some German and some French, hence the communication was easy to be achieved at the end. Last but not least, cleanliness of the place is a plus and the breakfast consists of fresh fruits and juices.

    The value for money, location and conveniences within and nearby are excellent. Two blocks from the beach, great area of Salvador. Only 30 minutes from Historic Center. Host Ana Maria is great. She will take care of you in any way she can. Just know it is like a Bed and Breakfast like arrangement.

    Affordable, good location near the beach/restaurants in the trendy part of Salvador, good wifi, helpful/friendly staff, lots of activities offered, had a bike to rent. A youthful hostel, with lots of action, that gets quiet at 22:00, if you want to sleep. Good place to meet other travelers from all over the world.. It is not the Taj Mahal but very liveable, if you are more of a laid back person.
