Hostel Odara offers an unbeatable location for exploring Salvador's highlights. You're just a 4-minute stroll from the beautiful Praia da Barra and a short hop to the iconic Farol da Barra and historic Pelourinho. The hostel provides comfortable air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi and clean shared bathrooms. The convenience of a shared kitchen, helpful tour desk, and currency exchange adds to the appeal. Beyond the prime location, Odara fosters a welcoming and social atmosphere. The shared lounge is perfect for connecting with other travelers. The friendly staff go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. For its excellent location and great amenities, I would absolutely choose Hostel Odara again for my next visit to Salvador. Highly recommended!

Functional hotel walking distance from pelhouriño, so very comfortable position. The receptionist was kind and welcoming, he spoke only Portuguese but we understood each other somehow. Room was clean, bed comfortable and air conditioning worked fine! Good complimentary coffee in the morning. I worked very ok for my short passage in Salvador!

On my last day, while I was entering the kitchen to make my coffee, the manager very generously offered me free coffee! Thank you very much 😅😉 The place is very nice, comfortable, spacious, clean, very nicely located close to the beach. Good WiFi, nice kitchen. One tip to have amazing quality/price dinner if you stay there: Go to "MV Delicatessen" (type it on Google Maps). They have buffet for only 40 reais/kg after 19h. Also the snorkeling in the nearby beach left of the Morro do Cristo (when you face the ocean) is very nice 👍🏼

I loved literally everything. I have stayed in many hostels and guesthouses around the world in many continents, but this one really stands out. It is probably my favourite place I have ever been to. If this place is available, BOOK IT NOW! Amazing location in the heart of the Cultural centre, fantastic people, warm and social hosts as well as special guests. Thank you for making my time in Salvador special, Amanda and Reidar! 🫶

All hostels in Salvador

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
