Property exceeded expectations on all levels. This was my first time staying at a hostel and I was hesitant to do it, but the service was incredible and I did not feel much difference compared to hotels. Very clean rooms and restrooms. Staff is super friendly and humble. Breakfast was fresh and very tasty with so many varieties. Location is great for anyone visiting Salvador, Bahia. I met people from all over the world, including Europe, North America, South America. I had an unexpected incident during my travel and the hostel staff including the owner (Olivier) were super helpful and assisted me in every way possible. Definitely coming back if I visit Salvador again.

We loved the character and charm of the Hotel & the friendly staff! The breakfast was the best we have had and Larissa and Ariuma really made breakfast time so enjoyable. They were attentive and fun to talk to (in Portuguese). Fabio also looked after us like a friend. The street that the hotel is on is vibrant and there is live music every Friday night just outside.

    Beautiful boutique place with wonderful hosts! The room and the bathroom were spacious and light, nicely decorated and clean. The bed was large and very comfortable. The location is also great, right in the heart of Pelourinho, but quiet at night. Also very safe, there's always police around the corner (we checked out at 4 am and police was there as usual). Hosts were extremely kind, helpful and just fun to chat with, we left like staying with ckose family or friends.
