That we had to pay to leave our bags once we checked out, but there was no actual locker room for them to be in. So they were just sitting in the common area. I wouldn't of minded paying if there was a proper locked room to keep them.
Friendly staff from the time we booked this.

It is not so easy to recognize from the street.
The receptionist is nice and helpful. The dorm was equipped with adjustable fans and luckily no AC. So you can sleep without waking up sick the next day. The value for money is definitely good.

The rate is great, one of the best in the city, and the place is very clean, but like in most hostels of Salvador it was at times too hot. I would choose this hostel again, but the location is a bit off of the main areas of the city, so you'd need to take a bus or taxi.
First of all, I would like to say that this place was great thanks to Isa's personality and hospitality. She is an easy going, friendly and reliable person. She keeps her hostel clean and organized. He always tries to help by giving tips where to go and where to travel. From the moment I booked the hostel she was on the emails with me trying to make sure my stay at the hostel is a comfortable one.
