Disappointing
The location was good, very close to Pelourinho and the room was generally comfortable.
The first day and night went very well — my friend and I genuinely enjoyed our stay, and initially we found the host to be kind and helpful.
However, things changed the next morning. I asked if the coffee could be made a bit stronger and whether I could have a fried egg instead of scrambled eggs (as I had seen this offered to another guest the previous day). The response to the coffee request was dismissive, but I didn’t insist.
When I asked about the eggs, the host became visibly irritated. The situation escalated further when I asked for soap for the bathroom, as we had been without it for two days. Although he provided it, his behavior changed significantly - he started making noise in the kitchen, throwing dishes, and acting in a clearly frustrated and unprofessional manner.
At one point, he approached me in a passive-aggressive tone and said, “If you want to leave, you can leave. You don’t have to stay here if you don’t like it.” This was surprising, as I hadn't felt like not enjoying my stay until that point.
After considering the situation, I decided it was best for us to leave and we moved to another accommodation. My friend tried to resolve things, and although it seemed he understood, he resumed making comments toward me as soon as he saw me again.
It’s also worth noting that guests are not allowed to keep a key, meaning you must rely on the host to access the property at all times.
Additionally, both my friend and I had food poisoning after eating breakfast there.

Gerardo, the host, was incredible! He's very kind, friendly and so helpful. The place is small but very clean.
The location is near small bars to have something to drink or eat.
Just one recommendation, some hooks in bedroom 2 to hang up some clothes.

- very friendly and attentive host / owner of the hostel; also very helpful
- even on day I had to leave early he prepared some breakfast which I did nog expect because it was very early
- the location is very good : 4 minutes walk to Pelourinho
- good breakfast (papaya, fresh fruit juice, eggs)
- safe also for solo female travelling
- the appartment is equipped rudimentarily, but you can see that in the pictures, so no surprise there
- if you are a high maintenance treveler it is not for you

The pillow was covered in black mold. The front door was chained closed and we did not have a key. No window in the private room.

The owner is super nice and helpful. The bathroom was clean and quite big. We left too early to try breakfast but I'm sure it's good
We only spent one night there and it was ok but I cannot imagine spending a couple of days there as the place is really small in general and the room as well. The room has no windows.

The location is excellent, and the breakfast is simple but delicious. The owner of the place is a one man show who runs everything and takes it very seriously, and he does a great job. The beds are comfortable and the one bathroom is simple, but clean and effective.

If I return to Salvador, this will be my first choice again. A simple room, but in a very good location, quiet and a very nice host. I slept very well and the breakfast was delicious.

Very good location overall although the last 2 streets at night can feel a bit unsafe, the room is fine for the price, breakfast is simple but good. More than anything price is cheap.
Lack of flexibility. You are very dependent on the host, no key, no independent entry. For the same reason, could not keep the luggage after 8pm. Host was fine and polite but I sensed more for his review than really trying to help. Also little flexibility in service, he requested me (and insisted like 5 times) to check out at 10am instead of 12pm because he has promised the next ones they could check-in earlier. But himself he showed no flexibility in using the shared bathroom to freshen-up in 5min while picking up my luggage or in keeping the luggage longer as my bus was at 11pm. No space to wait in the hostel either (no lobby or shared space).

I liked the host, the breakfest, the place.
Location was a little bit danger. Like most of the big cities in Brazil, the center It is not so safe as it should be.
