Located in Pelourinho, very close to the plaza and music of Odolum. Paulo is very approachable, we even talked about his experience in the Philippines and how he loved Cebu. He is also a Caipirinha master, UNLIMITED CAIPIRINHA only in Galeria 13!! Met amazing people too even though the business of hostel was quite slow.

It was a shame there wasn't coffee making facilities particularly for early risers. It was quite noisy but that is the nature of Brazil and the area so is not really a negative but just so people know.
Great location in the centre of a very safe tourist area, staff were really helpful at advising daily events and recommending places to eat. Although this hostel has a slim footprint it makes great use of the space even managing a small pool! The breakfast was great with plenty in the buffet plus individual scrambled eggs and sausages produced by smiley kitchen staff. There was an issue with our ensuite toilet and staff were very quick to address and do all they could to resolve!

I loved everything in this hostel. The stuff was very nice and friendly. It felt like family. Its great to meet cool people from all over the world. the caipirinha happy hour was perfect to socialise. I also appreciated the breakfast until 12! I would say, this is one of the best hostels i‘ve ever stayed and would definitely go back there. Amazing hostel in a even more amazing city!

The dorm lacks a big window so it smells of fermentation and the light is really low making it hard to pack without forgetting stuff Most people from the staff have no sense of humor and keep edicting rules like no smoking before 5PM, no cup of tea inside the room, aircon off in the morning so you wake up out of heat, etc Breakfast eggs are tasteless
The location is ideal

“Fabulous hostel right in the heart of Pelorinho, Salvador.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 4 nights
The hostel was great and I have no suggestions to make. The only thing to note is that there can be petty theft and crime, so be careful with your money, bags etc and recommend going out in pairs or more people for safety reasons. My son unfortunately was mugged on our last night and he had been walking on his own. Don't let that put you off going, just be careful.
The hostel was lovely and completely in keeping with the quirkiness and bohemic qualities of the Pelorinho area in Salvador. Breakfast was very tasty and lasted till midday which was great when you want to have a lazy morning. Being a hostel it had both a few private rooms and shared rooms. We had a private room with bathroom which was very quaint in decor and clean. The location was fantastic, an easy walking distance into the main heart of Pelorinho historic centre and surrounding areas. The reception staff and owner were very welcoming and helpful and could speak more than on language. The chill out room, small pool and free caipirinho happy hour were all great perks to the place. I came to Salvador about 28years ago and have very happy memories of a wonderful vibrant city full of music and culture which still exists today and this hostel is a great place to experience it.
