If hostels would be rated this one would had 5 stars! I loved the interior design of the common area and the patio with the pool. If I wouldn't be travelling, I could spend a whole day there and enjoy the positive vibe of the place without going out ;)

The hostel is located on one of the main street just a couple of blocks from the towns center. Bank and market were located on the same street within short walking distance. Arraial is a small town.

Arraial d'Ajuda Hostel is a very charming and cozy place. It seems that they reinvest a good bit of their revenue into keeping the place look like new.

Best hostel ever seen: clean, nice room, beautiful patio/garden with pool, good and plentiful breakfast, free internet, friendly and helpful staff. I highly recommend it

It´s a great place! Interesting architecture combining concrete with a lot of wood. Nicely painted. Swimmingpool surrounded by palms and flowers. Pool table. Small open kitchen, covered by a roof, right next to the swimming pool. Equipment rather basic, but sufficient. Nice breakfast is included, but nothing extraordinary. Located in the town center, ca. 15 min. walk to the beach... More

A very cosy youth hostel in indian-greec-brazilian style. The best hostel I ever visited. With swimming-pool and rest area under coconut trees, kitchen for guests, lovely personal, internet-access, professional guidance, tipps, clean. I recommend this hostel as the best in Brazil!
