If I were to try and design a hostel - from decor, to location, the facilities and crucially the way the staff have been obviously trained to give friendly non-intrusive, but informed advice, the Hostel Cobreu would be very near my perfect ideal. Well done Hector, Amelia and everybody else - may you make many more travelers extremely happy.(Especial thanks to Marcus who makes a mean capirinha, and the lady who prepares a fabulous breakfast every morning - both served with incomparable smiles!)

We loved our stay at Hostel Cobreu. Super nice people and amazing location. Suggestions for improvement? Reading lamps in the bedroom (we stayed in private room with double bed and one bunk bed), daily complete cleaning of showers/bathrooms, comfortable sofas in the common room. Would happily recommend Cobreu to adventuresome, able bodied friends! Thanks!

A charming little hostel in a great location in Salvador. It's safe and has a very nice and welcoming staff. Great bar/café on the ground level with tasty caiparinhas and good snacks. Like most hostels, this is not the place to go if you require absolute quiet at night. It's not loud, just thin walls. Recommended above some of the other hostels I saw in Salvador, which are in even more touristy locations! Try to come over a Tuesday night for the street party!

The hostel is really well located, the staff was helpful and could speak good English. Pity that the place was full of huge cockroaches and smelly because of pipes issue. It was not very clean as well.

The hostel was very good. It was clean and also the atmosphere was fine. The location is perfect. The only fault is about rooms. The double one is pretty and well furnished but it is hot inside and the window faces on the internal stairs so it is not really ventilated. The staff was always helpful even if most of them can't give any suggestion about places worth to be visited around Bahia and how to get there. Just one guy at the reception was able to give us valid suggestions.I recommend it!

Such a cute place to stay with fantastic staff and a wonderful servic. We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom and the facilities were great, nthe showers on our level were open air which was really lovely. There is a kitchen available for use and two computers as well as wifi throughout the hostel. Security is great and you have to be buzzed in and out of a security gate. Located right in the Pelo. Great bar underneath run by same owners!Unlimited breakfast! Highly recommended.

I had a great stay, staff was helpfull, breakfast was the best I have had in a hostel in Brasil so far, very elaborate. Bathrooms very clean and overall it hast a good vibe. The common room is a great place to meet people in the evening and so is the bar next to the hostel.

I loved this hostel. The staff were super friendly and very flexible. I needed to change dates on arrival, and although at first they were not happy, they did it. I made up the dates later. They have all the knowledge on what to do in the city. The breakfast is SUPER!!! Loved it. The hostel is clean. Nice place to meet other travellers. I would definitely be staying there if I go back to Salvadore and I highly reccommend the hostel.

Location excellent for Tuesday night party - if you want to party of course - right next to the stairs where it all starts with the concert. Big dorm - too squeezed, not enough room for everybody. The hightlight thou for my stay it was the helpful staff, especially Carolina from Argentina and Olivia from US - thank you guys for your help! There should be more people like you working at the hostels.
