Having travelled round South America for the last 12 months we think this is probably our favourite hostel! As soon as we arrived we felt at home! Alex, the owner made us very welcome and when my husband had to seek medical assistance, he stayed with us at the hospital to translate and even sent supplies while we waited! Nice... More

My husband and I stayed here as part of our honeymoon and absolutely LOVED IT. What makes this hostel tick most though is the host, Alex. Probably the kindest guy out there. There wasn't a thing he wouldn't/couldn't do for us. We had a massive room downstairs that usually hosts big groups which was just fab. The breakfast is just... More

This is a great place to stay. It has a good atmosphere, the staff is really friendly (except the owner's girlfriend) and helpful with useful information. I will recommend people to stay here when they visit Salvador! More

We booked the guest house from the recommendations on tripadvisor and had a great time. Alex and Jaqueline made our 5 day stay in Salvador memorable. They were extremely hospitable, warm and friendly, and provided a wonderful and fun atmosphere in the guest house. It has been the best accommodation during our entire trip. It was a great ending to... More

Without a doubt, it's the best place we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived Alex and Jacqueline (the owners) were incredibly hospitable and really helpful in making sure we had a great time in Salvador. They gave us maps and directions to get around and told us about places to eat and things to do that you wouldn't... More
