Salvador Hostellit

Plussat: the owner was very helpful Thank you very much Hope to visit again

Plussat: Proximity to Pelourinho and relative quiet at the same time. Found a great vegan restaurant 5 minutes away.

Miinukset: Bother the owner whenever I wanted to go out and in. But in the other hand this provided great security. There was a day I wished for an AC in my room. If there was a strong smell from the bathroom it gets in the room through the window easily.

Plussat: The owner is really nice, and makes you a good breakfast in the morning.

Miinukset: Our double room was small and had no windows, and it was pretty hot. Bed wasn't too comfortable either. The dorm room with a window facing the street is much nicer, as it has natural light and ventilation. But our room should def. have AC.

Plussat: Gerardo was a nice Host and very helpful. The hostel is located nearby the center - just a few minutes walk.

Plussat: Excellent! Wonderful owner, always willing to advise. We read here at home. I recommend it!

Plussat: Gerardo is very caring and helpful no matter what you need.

Plussat: Very close to historic center Gerrardo was so nice and always ready to help The only place which let me check in earlier than actual check in time in Argentina and Brazil :)

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We spent 4 nights at the hostel and we had an amazing time. The room and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was very good. Most of all, the owner, Geraldo, was very nice, helpful, accomodating and resourceful.....big plus the hostel was very close to the historic center (5 to 10 min walking) in a quiet neighborhood. We recommend it for sure.

Miinukset: Everything was great !

Plussat: The owner is very friendly and helpful. He served us very nice breakfast. The location is near from centre.

Plussat: I was alone and for 1 day is was good. The owner is very sympathetic person and gave me some tips. it is quite was clean as well and internet connection was good. The place is good depending what are you looking for of course. I wanted something not expensive and sleep alone. So was perfect.

Miinukset: Well If you do not know Salvador has some hills, if you come with a big backpack be aware to go up to the hill. It was a room without window one ventilator and one plug for the electricity. Luckily I had a multiple usb charger.

Plussat: Staff were super nice and helpful. Beds are comfortable with charging points and lights in bunk. Rooftop area is nice to chill. Modern Hostel

Miinukset: Wifi was terrible in the rooms. Often not working at all. The stairwell was leaking water, from the rooftop to the bottom floor. Made it a bit slippy when coming down the stairs. You don't get a top sheet; they give you a blanket but it doesn't get cleaned between every guest.

Plussat: Design Swimming pool on the roof

Miinukset: The other guests in my room, no hostel people ,

Plussat: The staff is amazing, really friendly and willing to help you with anything they can! Thank you for everything!

Miinukset: I’ll improve the cleanliness a little bit in general, and I’ll definitely would fix the door knobs so you can close the rooms

Plussat: Everything was perfect. Great location next to a nice and quiet beach. There are a bunch of bars and places where you can eat or have a drink just 2 min walk from the hostel. The staff speaks English and it can be very useful as no one else does.

Plussat: Staff were great.

Plussat: the hostel is located in Rio vermelho which is very good for night life ! the staff were helping and english speaking. the rooms are modern decorated and clean. you have an spacious locker in the room. and a good view from the rooftop.

Miinukset: the bathrooms were not satisfactory for me , I would take care of them more often during the day. I had a 4 bed room, The room was very dark and had a very samll window ! it was loud during night because of the window which opens to the Duct containg all the air conditioners.

Plussat: The location is great, absolutely can't fault it.

Miinukset: Don't be fooled by the pictures, it looks very different in real life, the pool is very small. It wasn't that clean, the bathroom curtain was shredded for example, there was a dead cockroach in my dorm bathroom when I arrived and the smell of damp. The breakfast is very basic, even for a hostel, it's quite standard in Salvador for eggs to be offered, as well as cereals and cake, but this wasn't offered at the hostel. I ended up having my breakfasts at nearby hotels for a decent price. The staff and other travellers weren't very friendly, no one spoke to me my entire stay. English speakers are definitely few and far between. Also, something happened on my first night there at about 11pm a girl was screaming, I believe at the entrance door to be let in (there are no keys, someone works 24/7 around reception) it sounded like she had been or was being attacked. It was terrifying, people started running from all over the hostel, I still don't know what really happened, as English was limited no one was able to tell me anything. Although I decided to stay in Salvador for longer, I changed to a different hostel.

Plussat: Great location. The bunk beds were comfortable and the room was quite. The air-conditioner at night is so good that I was cold. The rooftop pool was a big bonus!

Miinukset: The place is becoming a little bit run-down and therefore doesn't look quite as nice the photos.

Plussat: Location convenient to beach, restaurants, bars, public transportation

Miinukset: Internet wasn't solid enough for me

Plussat: Great location close to the seafront.

Miinukset: There wasn't much soundproofing in the room.

Plussat: Big room, very clean and really comfortable. And at a good price!

Miinukset: Not enough electricity plugs Shower was really confusing

Plussat: Really great location!! The staff was very kind and helpful! The room was very big and there is a great breakfast!

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The rooms very poor and the conditions of the hotel

Plussat: Close to beachfront, cafes, very clean, friendly hotel....staff helpful and speak a little english which helps.....no real criticisms

Miinukset: No real criticisms......

Plussat: Everything is good.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Excellent location steps to beach and scuba dive shop. Good food around the corner and easy trips around town with uber from this location. Great budget hotel, great staff and excellent daily breakfast.

Miinukset: Only thing I would like to see improved was the table/chairs were plastic patio furniture. A more solid table and chair would be preferred.

Plussat: Nice rooms. Great location.

Miinukset: A very small kitchen with no option to cook for yourself.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: My room was humid.

Plussat: Great location near the beach

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Hostel Pelourinho is nice. Great location and staff.

Plussat: Nothing, was a completely mess. If you want to rest and have a good time, please look for another place.

Miinukset: The place was a disaster, there is no control for nothing people shoting and doing mess all night. This was the worst reception and recepcionist that I've been in my life, first they doesn't know how to look for a reservation, I have one, and the receptionist twice kick out of the place because h doesn't know how to look for them. Also they don't know the wifi password. The internet was unstable and awful. Only a volunteer was able to help after an hour waiting and be threatened to look for another place at 1 am with my reservation made. Don't stay there if you want a clean and safe place, without being threatened.

Plussat: V pohode personál. Nice stuff. Open minded. Friendly. Helpful

Miinukset: The air in room was horrible like in WC, without windows...

Plussat: This place is exellent value. It’s right on the Praça de Se. I was in room 1 which looks directly onto the square so I could enjoy the music and people watching from my room. I loved it but I would only recmmend to stay 1 or 2 nights because of the noise

Miinukset: Not for light sleepers. It’s incredibly noisy all through the day with people talking in the reception area and in the night with musical performances. The showers weren’t very clean but that’s typical for a cheap hostel

Plussat: Excellent location especially room 1 ! Some staff are really great and speak good English

Miinukset: Some staff don’t speak English at all . Bathroom had cold water

Miinukset: Not clean!!! In the room the wasn’t a windows!

Plussat: The location, the bedroom balcony facing on to the main square with great views, very helpful staff member who could speak English and went out of their way to organise transport and the price for the single room.

Miinukset: Very difficult to say anything negative about the property, especially when you consider how cheap the single bedroom was. Overall, good value for money.

Plussat: Location is lively and central

Miinukset: -Our room smelt strongly of urine... -faulty plug sockets

Plussat: Very good breakfast

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: Not so friendly staff, not a breackfast buffet, just bread en fruit. And it felt like we slept on the floor... the matras is like concrete!
