The owner Russell is fantastic and really made our trip. He knows the area very well and can recommend things to do and places to go, the hostel feels like a home from home with a wonderful breakfast including scrambled eggs & pancakes. Very clean and friendly, he let us leave our bags there when we checked out so that we could go out until it was time to catch our bus. Will definitely come back here again.

Great hostel- beautiful old colonial house with very comfortable small rooms, each has an en-suite which really cuts down waiting for the shower! Loads of tours and information on the city available as well as advice from the owner. Very close to Barra beaches, bars and a HSBC just up the road. Great breakfast too, fruit, juice, eggs and pancakes on request. Free caipirinha every night! Good value for money, I would definitely recommend to a friend.

During our stay we especially appreciated the friendly advice and help from staff. The breakfast was also delicious with fresh fruit juices (clean water and ice cubes), superb cakes prepared, eggs to order, pancakes, fresh fruit etc. A great start to a day in Salvador.

This is the best hostel that I have ever been. Russel is a very knowledgeable manager and keeps everything in a way that makes you feel as if you were his personal guest. The breakfast is indeed the absolute best of any other hostel. Where else can you get made to order pancakes and scrambled egges in a hostel? The only observation I have to make is that the design of the guest house doesn't allow people to meet and socialize as is typical in hostels. Given this fact this is more of a place for an extended stay such as a language course or for a romantic couple than it is for a solo traveler looking to meet people.

Very helpful English owner who kept a good grip over the place. Friendly atmosphere but most people there were English. Very good location for beaches and restaurants, and safe enough. Free internet. Private room facilities average.
