Property Description

We are located in Salvador's Historic and Cultural Centre, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Pelourinho.


Right in our first year we were voted Best Hostel in Brazil by HostelWorld members. You can also find us in Lonely Planet's finicky Our Pick, along with some rather flattering words from the traveler's holy book.

No wonder. By staying with us you get tons of daily freebies, including the obscenely big breakfast until midday, caipirinha Happy Hour, Brazilian film sessions, and of course, discounts in TripAdvisor's top rated Bar Zulu. For the full list, please scroll down to Facilities.

Very Good

Overall, this hostel was nice, good to meet people, good happy hour and great breakfast. However, the hostel’s one downfall is it’s location within Salvador feeling unsafe and the issue of Ubers not being able to reach the hostel’s front door easily. Not the hostel’s fault but worth flagging, especially for solo travellers, as you cannot feel safe in the area once it gets dark (6pm). The problem is that Uber drivers get directed to the main square instead of the hostel. The hostel have tried to solve this problem by providing guests with a message to show Uber drivers but it is too long and, in our experience, drivers did not fully read it. This meant either risking walking from the square in the dark or making the driver reroute (which was complicated and took us 20+ minutes on two occasions).

Great location in the heart of Salvador. Really nice staff and nice breakfast. Unfortunately, the hostel was almost empty, so not easy when you're looking to connect with other. Could be a bit more clean.
