This is in the historic district of Salvador, which has some beautiful buildings and sights but also can get a little rough around the edges. We stayed here just a night and then moved closer to the beach area. We stayed in the dorm, which is a pretty typical dorm with bunk beds. They give you fresh sheets, although they´re... More

I stayed here with 3 other friends during Carnival 2012. The location of the hostel is amazing, at the top of a little cobblestoned street, amongst brightly coloured terraces in the heart of the pelo. We had originally booked a 6 bed dorm, however there was a problem with the advanced payment on our end and the staff were unable... More

I've stayed at Cobreu a number of times in my travels through Salvador. The owners are full of hospitality and great ideas of things to do around the city. There are always great people to meet as other guests. The rooms are artsy and clean, and the best part is you are right in the middle of the cultural center... More

Salvador doesn´t seem to be the easiest place to find somewhere decent to stay at a reasonable price, Hostel Cobreu isn´t going to change that anytime soon. The location is great, in the heart of ´the Pelo´. There is, however, a downside to such a location: noise! It´s quite rowdy outside the hostel in the evenings - plenty of screaming... More

I think it is the best hostel in Salvador, at least in the old town. - The staff is very nice and helpful. Like a family. - The dorms are a little bit small, but big enough. There are fans, but no airconditioning. - Nice common area of computers (please fix the headphones or make it possible to connect your... More

Hostel Cobreu is in the beautiful historical center of Pelourinho, close to many of the best sights. It is a reliable hostel with comfortable beds, hot showers, and an UNBELIEVABLE breakfast (with eggs, ham, cheese, all kinds of fresh fruit, bread, butter, coffee, tea, juice, cake...). It is the best location to be on Tuesday nights, when the city parties... More

I stayed here with a friend, and then again when travelling solo. The hostel is clean and comfortable and the hostel staff are very friendly and EXTREMELY helpful (helping us make calls in Portugese-which I don't speak, looking up times and fares for various travel options, advising about places to go (and not to go), where to eat, nightlife, etc)....
