The staff were excellent especially Nahuel who was very helpful and spoke English which made things alot easier for me 😊 The location is great, right across from the beach and there is a lovely restaurant on the corner a few doors down to the left. The hostel booked a tour for me but unfortunately due to weather it was cancelled, this could not be avoided. They had a lot of information on trips. The accommodation was very comfortable and I had a great experience here. Breakfast was basic but very nice.

I loved literally everything. I have stayed in many hostels and guesthouses around the world in many continents, but this one really stands out. It is probably my favourite place I have ever been to. If this place is available, BOOK IT NOW! Amazing location in the heart of the Cultural centre, fantastic people, warm and social hosts as well as special guests. Thank you for making my time in Salvador special, Amanda and Reidar! 🫶

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 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.

    HG13 is probably the best hostel in Salvador! The room was spacious and clean, with fresh linen and towels. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was helpful and lovely. The free caipirinha was delicious. Wifi worked like magic. The location was excellent and reachable by Uber ( before we came, I was told only official taxis can reach the centre) or by foot, really close to all the attractions and museums. I felt really safe and would stay in this hostel again.
