Already the warm welcome by Vinie made me feel like i arrived somewhere special. It is a quite big hostel, where you have alot of chances to either meet people or read a book by yourself. The Staff is super friendly and the Dog really makes this Hostel feel like a home. The Kitchen is well organised and has alot of space for storage of food. Comfortable beds and everything is clean :) I like that it is social, but still after 10 p.m it is quiet. Bar‘s/ Restaurants and beach is also close by, like a 5 minute walk.

Functional hotel walking distance from pelhouriño, so very comfortable position. The receptionist was kind and welcoming, he spoke only Portuguese but we understood each other somehow. Room was clean, bed comfortable and air conditioning worked fine! Good complimentary coffee in the morning. I worked very ok for my short passage in Salvador!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great hostel in a great location. All staff are super helpful and provide you with loads of advice for where to go during your stay. Free Caipirinha hour was a great way to meet people. Breakfast was very generous and delicious.

Great location - not too far from the beachfront, a few restaurants and supermarkets. As a solo female traveller, the location meant that it also felt safe walking around at night. Hostel is fairly big with open communal areas which allow for socialising! Own kitchen too where a lot of guests cook which is also an added bonus.

Great location right in front of the beach and by the lighthouse. The promenade is brightly lit at night so very safe, and it's a great people watching spot! The hostel is clean with a cute social area. There are a number of bars and restaurants and supermarkets super close.
