Cozy yard with swimming pool, excellent breakfast with freshmade eggs, very central location in the Pelourinho, a lot of information and clean rooms are on the absolute plus side for this hostel. The only minus was that the reception played music until 1 am in the morning, which we could hear loud and clear from our room. So make sure... More
