I stayed with a friend at Hostel Solar dos Romanos for Carnaval 2012. The hostel's location could not be better, it is within 5 minutes' walk of everything there is to see in the Pelourinho. Buses to Barra or towards the north are also easily accessed. The staff are quite friendly and helpful (especially on the evening and night shifts),... More

We booked our stay via Agoda, where it was advertised as a 'hotel'. In no way, could this property possibly be classified as such- it was a hostel, and a very basic one at that. Upon arrival, we were horrified to be taken to a spartan room reminiscent of a prison cell- stone floor, two beds with sheets, and a... More

We had a very good time at this hostel. Very helpful and friendly staff, every question or comment was immediately dealt with. We liked the Pelourinho, it is a very good place to stay in Salvador and beaches are reached very quickly by bus or taxi. There are always all kinds of things happening here. We booked a transfer at... More

This is quite an average hostel that is not great value for money. The rooms are basics and lack little things like bedside tables, bedside lights, mirrors etc. It is a budget hotel so dont expect much more. The staff are very friendly and helpful and offered us free pickup from the airport as we were staying 6 nights in... More

The two brothers that run this hostel are really friendly and go out of there way to help you. The hostel had a really nice feel to it. The breakfast is really nice with lots of fresh fruit.

This is a great hostel. It is very central. The staff speak a variety of languages and are very helpful and friendly. Good breakfasts. Sometimes they have a barbecue night or a Caipirinha night which is a great way to meet other guests. They have now installed a gym. Wifi is good.
