Description

PAULO(very English name) new native ENGLISH speaking owner provides PELOURINHOwith its'NEWEST HOSTEL' ,the old colonial house already has its own history in the Pelourinho-historical centre & night spot playing an important role as a famous rendevouz for artists & musicians when it served as a bar & restaurant.

Transforming the beautiful colonial house,it now offers a comfortable,homely experience but at affordable prices providing a new meeting point for like minded folk,you guys,Travellers!!! After eleven years travelling & living in various countries around the world, it was time to choose a spot to settle so i decided on Salvador- a great city that provides a super mixture of art,culture,music & of course sun & beaches-to be my permanent base & where i will offer other travellers a comfortable & safe temporary home whilst visiting this amazing city

From the street the old house deceives the on-looker as it seems to have only two floors, but in fact it offers three floors, the upper two divided into five dorm rooms with wooden floors & strong bunks made from local wood ,all the rooms are with en suite showers ..

Downstairs you will find the large area divided between the reception,stylish bar/restaurant & morrocan chill out room with the interesting options to relax & mix with your fellow guests.

Running along side the house you will discover the super garden & terrace area where breakfast is served & where meals can be enjoyed through the day or where a peaceful beer can be savoured away from the hustle & bustle of the terraces of Pelourinho where sometimes just one too many offers of free gifts is enough.
Even though recently opened the hostel is attracting lots of other hostel guests & locals as the garden area is a unique spot in 'pelo' to relax & charge up for more action.
Another unique feature is the 'SKYPE' phone,need to phone home? make it from your bed or maybe the hammock,its amazingly cheap & certainly a lot better than an internet cafe oh yeh & more private!!!
.
