The staff were excellent especially Nahuel who was very helpful and spoke English which made things alot easier for me 😊 The location is great, right across from the beach and there is a lovely restaurant on the corner a few doors down to the left. The hostel booked a tour for me but unfortunately due to weather it was cancelled, this could not be avoided. They had a lot of information on trips. The accommodation was very comfortable and I had a great experience here. Breakfast was basic but very nice.

Communication was always smooth, and the hosts were amazing — kind, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming. They even invited me to join them for some local activities, which made the experience feel truly authentic. Whenever I asked for suggestions, they were always available and helpful. It was the perfect blend of warmth and lightness.

Functional hotel walking distance from pelhouriño, so very comfortable position. The receptionist was kind and welcoming, he spoke only Portuguese but we understood each other somehow. Room was clean, bed comfortable and air conditioning worked fine! Good complimentary coffee in the morning. I worked very ok for my short passage in Salvador!

On my last day, while I was entering the kitchen to make my coffee, the manager very generously offered me free coffee! Thank you very much 😅😉 The place is very nice, comfortable, spacious, clean, very nicely located close to the beach. Good WiFi, nice kitchen. One tip to have amazing quality/price dinner if you stay there: Go to "MV Delicatessen" (type it on Google Maps). They have buffet for only 40 reais/kg after 19h. Also the snorkeling in the nearby beach left of the Morro do Cristo (when you face the ocean) is very nice 👍🏼

All hostels in Salvador

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location - not too far from the beachfront, a few restaurants and supermarkets. As a solo female traveller, the location meant that it also felt safe walking around at night. Hostel is fairly big with open communal areas which allow for socialising! Own kitchen too where a lot of guests cook which is also an added bonus.

Great location right in front of the beach and by the lighthouse. The promenade is brightly lit at night so very safe, and it's a great people watching spot! The hostel is clean with a cute social area. There are a number of bars and restaurants and supermarkets super close.
