Salvador

I came here with friends after being in Rio for 3 days and let me tell you this hostel is like a home away from home. When we first pulled up we were so excited because the decor is gorgeous, but we were stunned once we actually stepped foot inside and walked around. Thankfully nobody was around that afternoon because we were yelping with glee at the how beautiful the house was and the amazing view! 

Once we dropped our bags we walked about 10 minutes to the beach/shopping area, that's when we decided we're never leaving lol The hostel is very close to Barra Beach, which has clear, calm and warm waters you can just stay on the beach forever. The owner, Rita, is such a blessing! She drove us around and have is great tips on where to go and what to eat, more like your favorite aunt than Hostel owner. But it's not just Rita that makes your experience here great, the entire staff is warm, super friendly and nice! Victor who works at the front desk also makes BEAUTIFUL postcards, the cook/cleaning lady, Leia (sp?), makes a nice breakfast and comes to clean your room once a day, and Marcelo (sp) is fun and also hilarious! 

This was our first time in Salvador, Brazil, in Brazil as a whole and this hostel really helped make it an experience I'll never forget! Anytime I come to Barra I hope Rita has space for me!

A home away from home

The hostel is simple but with excellent bathrooms, neat and clean, I went in the off-season and was able to miss it then but overall it's a good accommodation option. The bar I've never seen, I guess it's in the off-season.

Good location 

I really loved my stay at the hostel. I stayed there for a week during he WorldCup. The Owner Rita was just awesome and treating us like hers, making sure that everything is fine. The hostel is clean close to the center and with a great view over the coast!!! We ended up several times sharing our breakfast with little monkeys showing up at the terrace, unexpected and really fun! Thanks Rita!

Absolutely Great Hostel!

A really nice house with a wonderful view from the top of the breakfast room including a small terrace. Still, it just didn't convince us. We booked an offer on booking.com which made the whole thing more tolerable. Not a single night I would have spent there for 50 reals. It all started with the staff not knowing English and there were problems with the reservation. After the Google translator got the thing, we were actually not addressed at all. The rooms were okay. We were in 10 rooms, which was very much lacking. Still, there was no way to plan to put his luggage anywhere. My mattress was gray and in the middle was completely emptied, but the back room was filled with gray and cold water, which made the back room offer a little more reservation. Even after the Google translator got the thing, we were actually not addressed at all. The rooms were okay. We were in 10 rooms, which was very much lacking.

You could make more out of it.

The Santeria Hostel is located in the district of Barra, the upscale neighbourhood of Salvador. First of all, the positive things: the hostel's climate is simply charming Rita. The old building is beautiful and the balcony on the roof is first floor. The sunsets are stunningly beautiful. At first glance, the hostel seems to be perfect. The ten-room apartments are no longer fully furnished, but we can't afford to buy them, and then we can offer them. However, before breakfast, we have a large room in the hotel, but we can't expect to get a large room in the hotel, but we can't see anything else happening.

The view is beautiful, everything else is bad.

I traveled for an academic research conference. The date I was there were no other guests. I felt like I was at home, with excellent quality service. The exquisite breakfast, prepared very carefully. A service with many details that make the stay pleasant. A beautiful view. In terms of cost-service very economical. The location of the hostel is very accessible, you can easily transit. It is located near the beach and del Porto da Barra, a special place.

A very special stay.

This hostel is a meeting place for both foreigners and Brazilian guests who decide to fly to Salvador for a weekend of relaxation. The rooms are clean and decorated, as well as the rest of the structure.

Breakfast overlooking the Bay of All Saints.

I spent four days at the Santeria Hostel for the World Cup football. It was a terrific experience. The location is very practical, very close to the beaches and the city and with a beautiful view over the ocean. The accommodations are simple. but very clean and the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly and they speak different languages. The breakfasts on the balcony overlooking the ocean were excellent with pancakes and a variety of home-made jams. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay at the Santeria and I can recommend it to anyone.

A terrific experience

I and a friend stayed at the Santeria Hostel while traveling for the World Cup over the last few weeks, and were very excited about staying here.  While the hostel was very clean, with great views of the ocean, and a fantastic breakfast, there is actually no Bar at the hostel, and two of the fans in our dorm room were not operational. What really knocks this place down is there was not bar, and therefore no common space to relax and meet other travelers - that's one of the main reasons we had decided to book our stay here.  With that said, the staff was helpful in pointing us to points of interest and the hostel is very centrally located close to the Barra district which has great beaches and restaurants, and also within an easy taxi or bus ride of the historical Pelourhino district which is a must see while in the city.

Clean hostel - no Bar

Excellently located, just 5 minutes from the beach Barra, this hostel is incredibly beautiful. the beautiful decorations, the very complete kitchen and the super clean bathrooms. the hostel administrator took us out for a drink the first night and it was great. it has a terrace for breakfast with an incredible view!!!
