Laranjeiras Hostel, hotel in Salvador

Situated in the peaceful Pelourinho neighborhood, Laranjeiras is a recently reformed hostel with free Wi-Fi, cheerful yellow exteriors and ornamental patios.

Located in the heart of Pelourinho, (we found this area not unsafe as somebody told, you just need to wear very basic). This hostel looks graceful, it's located in a historical building and there's a little common patio inside. Helpful staff, they can suggest tours and tips. Breakfast was ashtoning: rich and authentic. The've got security at the door during the night. Correct price.

    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.

    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.

    Nice hostel and a great price. The best hostel breakfast I've had and free caipirinhas at happy hour were fab! What I liked most about this hostel is everything is set up to encourage you to mingle with other backpackers as much as possible. We met so many cool people which isn't always easy in some hostels. We extended our stay and would stay again.
