Salvador hostels

Pros: Good location, great breakfast, very friendly staff and spacious / modern room.

Cons: Not enough kitchen accessories and the mattress is fairly hard.

Pros: I stayed only one day in this hostel. I liked the location. It is well located, mainly for night tours, as it is close to many bars and restaurants.

Cons: The room was a little noisy during the night.

Pros: The owner was very welcoming and quick to tell us where to go and things to do in the area. Our private room was amazing, loved the terrace and large bathroom! Room was very clean, one of the night staff members even made us a bowl of popcorn one night.

Cons: There were no other travelers there, and especially no one spoke English, so we felt pretty alone. We stayed from a Monday-Wednesday so perhaps it's better on the weekend but it kinda killed the vibe. Also loud construction woke us up both mornings, it was after 8am but it was only 4am our time so that was not ideal. Nothing bad to say about the staff or overall accommodation though!

Pros: Great location, close to beach, very good breakfast, clean nice place

Cons: It was quite cold in the room because of air conditioning, I would appreciate blanket not only sheet, as there was 8 people in the room it is hard to set a temperature which is good for everyone

Pros: Everything was great! The staff are really helpful, breakfast is awesome!!! The Deluxe suite has great view! Totally recommend it!

Cons: Few/no opportunities to meet other travelers - I stayed in an individual room - didn’t get to see other people around.

Pros: Modern and comfortable, big rooms and nice breakfast.

Pros: Great location Pool Amazing breakfast

Cons: The dorms could have been cleaner and in a better condition

Pros: Most of the guests are traveling solo. The hostel has a free caipirinha happy hour at 5:15 every day. The travelers meet there, meet each other and in many cases spend the evening in one or more groups. English is the common language.

Pros: First of all - a superb location! The rooms were clean (I had a private room with a friend), staff wonderful, breakfast delicious! They also have a restaurant where I ate twice and loved it... I’d definitely recommend this hostel!

Pros: The hostel is organised in a way which facilitates making contact. Breakfast is simple, but one of the best ones we’ve had in Brasil.

Cons: There are not that many bathrooms and it’s not unusual that you have to wait in the morning.

Pros: The vibes of the place are incredible. The pool and caipirinha Happy Hour helps a lot in making friends.

Pros: Everything was truly wonderful. You can tell this hostel has been created with an eye for the details that regular travellers would appreciate. Wonderful common areas, top notch breakfast, friendly and knowledgable staff, and spacious rooms with comfy beds and much appreciated airco!

Pros: Pretty good breakfast, friendly staff, super clean bed sheets and comby beds -

Cons: The room was pretty tight and the shower cabine too - but all good to deal with.

Pros: Right in the center of the action of the Pelourinho carnaval. Bit of a hassle to get to the Barra carnaval but worth it for the money saved. Besides, sunrise motorbike taxi rides are pretty fun. Would definitely return.

Pros: The staff on the recieption were absolutely lovely and very helpful. The location is the main pull of this place.

Cons: The ladies who were preparing the breakfast were not very friendly. The food then itself wasn't great at all by hostel standards. Also although we had booked a double room we were put into an empty dorm that was very stuffy and hot, although the aircon was on. The kitchen had no utensils or cups.

Pros: Great location lovely hostel!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: All.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very friendly staff Very clean Bar has good food and drinks Location is great

Cons: No social area. Not easy to meet people. Men showers only on the 2nd floor. Towel rent is 8R No AC but lots of fans so it was okay. Bed was super thin and not so comfy.

Pros: The location, just in the middle of downtown. Walkable anywhere.

Cons: The air-conditioning can only be turned on by the staff downstairs so make sure you do it before the night shift comes (as he doesn't always know how to do it). Be aware that every Friday and Saturday there is an open air concert of samba music, which plays till midnight and you hear it in the whole area. Saturday morning breakfast was cassava and sausage, Sunday wasn't. So you get only the white bread, ham, cheese and fruits. Maybe a cake.

Pros: location was great and the staff was extremely helpful. they also organize beach excursions, which I did do on one occasion.

Pros: It's a good place to stay close to center cheap and good atmosphere.

Pros: Old historic building, close to Pelourinho

Cons: The staff was totally disinterested when we arrived. The room we got was just wretched. Dirty pillows and mattress. To say it with a "coldplay" song, "it was all yellow". The window was not possible to close, and when you turned the fan on, hundreds of fluffs fell down, so the bed was covered with it. There is a constant bad smell coming out the bathroom and the facilities aren't clean. It doesn't look like that there is anybody at all cleaning the facilities. It's a shame as the building itself is nice and historic. Can't recommend staying there, as there are way better options in Pelourinho for about the same price.

Pros: + staff nice + ok location close to centro town

Cons: - low class toilet - no aircon - old beds

Pros: Amazing view, great location

Cons: Only 2 bathrooms and there isn't any social space.

Cons: My friend was given a bed, but when we got back to the hostel someone took his bed. The staff was very confused about the situation and didn't know where my friend's stuff were. We didn't sleep in the beds but the cleanliness wasn't good.

Pros: Great location, well priced and clean.

Cons: The bathrooms smelled like a hot outhouse the entire time, bad plumbing. Only Portuguese speaking staff.

Pros: Clean and comfortable, nice staff.

Cons: Smelly bathrooms, bad plumbing in the heat. Staff only speaks Portuguese.

Pros: Good location for centro. Staff was nice. Nice view and dorm had balcony. Warm good shower

Cons: No lounge or place to eat in the kitchen. Was very dirty everywhere. No lockers and also no key for the dorm. No big supermarket nearby. Area disn't feel that safe.

Pros: The location

Cons: The reception was extremely reluctant to work, i had to ask twice to get some sheets and the guy at the reception seemed annoyed to have to move away from the TV... The dorm was dirty (lots of hairs and dust on the floor) and the windows couldn't be closed so it felt like the party outside was inside the room. There are no lockers in the room...

Pros: good location, historical building

Pros: Very good location, walking distance to the beach. Close to bars, restaurants etc... Short taxi ride in to the historical centre. Room was nice, comfortable.

Cons: Travelling with my girlfriend and friend. Place was perfect for a couple or a group of friends. But not the most sociable place to meet others. As a couple we weren’t bothered. But our friend wasn’t happy with the atmosphere or social spaces.

Pros: Good vibe and nice team

Cons: Small room

Pros: great modern hostel staff brilliant

Cons: swimming pool not working , bedroom bit too cosy with small window

Pros: Great location

Cons: The bathroom was very hot and dirty.

Pros: The room (Tokio) was confortable. Bathroom clean. The pool has been renovated. The location is very good. A lot of good restaurants and bars around. Close to a few beaches as well. Friendly staff !

Cons: It's more suggestions than a bad experience: - More cushions or chairs near the pool to allow to sit or lay down. - Renovate as well the wooden flor near the pool (top of some nails coming up.. careful with naked feet) - Breakfast with more food options.

Pros: Location is amazing

Cons: Breakfast did not offer a great variety - if you are a vegan or celiac bring your own breakfast! The temperature in the dorms was freezing cold and the AC remote stays with the receptionist which does not give you a choice but to wear heavy clothes.

Pros: The Room was good and comfortable. Swimming pool was good.

Cons: I don't why the people are saying the hostel has good location!!!?. Nothing around the hostel. All of the attractions and famous beaches are far from hostel. Anywhere you want to go should take Uber. Shopping centre, beaches, ... Far from hostel. I didn't like the location. Also some of them who works in the hostel could speak English and some of the nothing even basic. Not a good breakfast.

Pros: The staff always went the extra mile, they made me so welcome. The rooms and bathrooms were really clean and the interior was really nice . They helped me arrange my transfer to Morro de Sao Paulo, and were always fast to reply on Whatsapp.

Cons: Not many people around to socialise with, but I guess it was the quiet season. The staff were really friendly and keen to show me around anyway :)

Pros: Nice staff, decent breakfast, very big room, nice flair

Cons: very dirty, roof leaking, toilet and shower broken, too expensive

Pros: The room was big and comfy. The staff was helpful. Breakfast was until 10 am (great late risers like me!).

Cons: Everything was fine.

Pros: Breakfast was nice. Location 3min from beach. Beach is cool and clear. Few minutes from market and shops. Nice

Cons: we take aparement with kitchen, but there was no any dishes. no trash box, no any spoon or fork, cups or pan. nothing. all flat with small ants. view on favelas.

Pros: It was right beside a lively neighbourhood bar called "Sergipe." I liked that, but not everybody might (e.g., early to-bed types). Besides that the location was excellent. One other thing, breakfast was until 10 am!

Pros: The location is right in the historic center, perfect for two nights to stay and explore the old center. The stuff is very kind and gives good advice for the center, they speak good English. The breakfast was okay, very okay for the price you pay to stay. After all a simply low budget place for a good rest.

Cons: There could be a bit more effort done with the bathroom. We don’t have high expansions but at least all should work even it’s simply and low budget.

Pros: The position was excellent. The boy working there, Paulo was absolutely amazing. He speaks Spanish and English and is a tour guide: he gave us a lot of tips about the area! Thank you Paulo! Breakfast is ok, with a choice of food available.

Cons: The room was not perfectly clean.

Pros: Location. In the heart of Historical city. Cute interior. Helpful staff.

Cons: Old, hard Bed - impossible to get normal sleep. Terrible breakfast. Nothing to eet for vegan and people who does not eats white bread :( Very noisy all night. Feel like a no windows at all. Walls is like a from paper. I heard all what my neighbor do. drums. disco music in cafes. no sleep at all. feels like a all is dirty. frigde is old and very noisy in room.

Pros: Good location, easy to check in/out

Cons: Room/bathroom smelling a little damp and not very clean. Hard to go upstairs when you have a big luggage. Staff was not so friendly
