HI Laranjeiras

Friendly staff. Quiet hostel (when I visited) that is right in the centre of the old town. Nice big windows in the dorm. Lovely cafe downstairs to chill in and great breakfast. The kitchen didn’t look great but I didn’t use it. (For other female solo travellers: I’d recommend arriving while its light - old town doesn’t feel very safe walking from the bus at night as it’s deserted and dark. This comment would apply to any hostel in the area. The beach areas felt safer at night.)

great location and friendly staff, cafe and breakfast were very good. could do with Aircon in rooms although it was exceptionally hot weather.

Good value for the money and in an amazing location in the heart of historic pelourinho. Pros: good location, value and security. Always security people at the door at night and usually hanging around the block during day. It’s a clean place, I’ve been seeing people washing floors all the time. The breakfast is great! Cons: No AC, no outlets by the beds, internet or WiFi is fine but unstable. It’s fine for English speaking folks but not conducive for making friends.
