Laranjeiras Hostel

Dont try to book anything with the guy armand. He is offering the candomble tour but this guy is so unprofessional. Doesnt reply properly to messages and just stops answering. Even if u call him, he won't be respectfully answer you. I think its an overall problem here in brasil this very bad customer service

What a great hostel! You could not be more central without sleeping in the square. The perfect base for exploring the historical area.|I had a private room with shared bathroom. The room was comfortable and had terrific views of the street and big windows that open.|Towels and soap were provided. |The hostel was clean and the showers had hot water.|The wifi was a little temperamental but worked on the whole.|The hostel felt very secure. There was always security and someone at the front desk.|Breakfast was good.|I liked the hang out area with hammocks.

hostel laranjeiras  in  Old Town is a wonderful place, in midst of historical buildings. The hostel is also in old building, renovated for accommodation. Rooms, dormitories are clean and quiet, only thing you have to climb stairs. Breakfast is fresh and tasty with local jams, enough coffee and chocolate. The best hostel in central location with reasonable budget prices.

Airco and fan didn’t work well. The staff were not friendly. Not so clean

If you would like to stay in the Pelourinho, the location of the hostel is perfect - it is just around the corner of the most popular squares, churches etc. of Salvador's old town.||I booked the female dorm with 7 beds and I stayed only for one night, so it was fine, but the dorm is very, very small. It has no ensuite bathroom, there is a community bathroom for women on the same floor with 3 toilets, 3 showers and 3 washing tables. That was also totally fine for one night, but I could imagine that is gets busy when there are more guests in the hostel (e.g. in the summer time). The bathroom seems to get cleaned quite often which is good and I appreciated the liquid soap.||There are some community areas where you can sit down and read or watch TV, but there is no atmosphere for socializing, let alone partying with other travellers. The staff speaks English and is very friendly. For a hostel, there is a wide choice of food at breakfast. All in all, it's a respectable hostel for a short stay, but it doesn't belong to the ones where you feel at home or have the time of your life!

Ĝreat location to explore Pelourinho and within police cordon. In fact, a policeman was based outside and advised us which streets were safe to walk in. Even then we were constantly asked for money by hungry locals. Breakfast was good and triple room more than adequate. The security situation is so bad, that we cut short our stay. Bewarned it is too dangerous to travel by bus if you have suitcase, uber is cheap and reliable.

Really great location and the place is nice. Friendly staff, clean rooms and bathroom. We had a privet room so we had a privet bathroom but my friends shared the bathroom and they had nothing bad to say at all! Walking distance from historical monuments and nightlife. Watch you pockets all the time and don't go out alone especially at night. Otherwise, have fun and enjoy the party town!

We've been here low season so the hostel was quite empty. We had such big bedroom for two of us. If you want to visit Salvador, the location is really really really good ! You'll find lot of bars, restaurants around. If you want a quiet hostel it is may be not the place for you because you'll hear the music schools repeating for the carnival all day and night. Really good breakfast.
