Run by a lovely Bahian women (and her son!) who speak good English and currently staffed by a Spanish, German and Italian trio. The hostel was quiet when I was staying, which is why I didn't score 'Excellent' for atmosphere. Location is very good, as long as you don't want to be bang on the beach. It is on a quiet street, that you can safely walk down at night and is very close to the Idioma language school. Free nightly caipirinhas is a nice touch; breakfast is okay, but nothing special.

Please don't rate the Hostel taking Salvador streets as part of it. I'm not the Mayor, I'm not responsible for the street's safety/cleanliness. Inside the hostel yes, it's up to me to make sure it's clean and secure and this not only me but most of the guests are quite happy with the results.
