"Amazingly friendly and helpful staff from the receptionists to the lady preparing breakfast, to the cleaning staff. The rooftop is a great place to read, relax, work, wifi is working very well. Clean shared spaces, clean rooms. Only blot, the bedsheets which I found with marks, although clearly washed. It would be perfect if the sheets and pillowcases were new. Convenient location, just steps from the road where buses are."

"Worst hostel I ever stay at in Brazil. The volunteer staff was the worst I ever experience. One staff received my food and ate the food and lied and said he thought it was his food. The food wrapping has VEGAN printed all over the wrapping along with my name written on the bag. He later admitted ( after I asked him did he like the food at least? ) he replied “the sandwich was good but not the fries” I guess he forgot that he had told me 10 mins ago that the food had NO fries inside the bag. At...

"Gerardo is a great host! I felt at home during my stay here. The property is close to Pelourinho, in a residential area, which is quiet and parking was easy to find. The breakfast is delicious. Highly recommended if you want somewhere walking distance to the old town."

"Fiquei no quarto compartilhado com 8 mulheres, havia apenas um banheiro para as 8 Mulheres, infelizmente não dava para ter noção de que haviam feito a limpeza diária, tanto que após 3 diárias solicitei limpeza no banheiro pensando que não tinham feito, pois além de ser pequeno, estava com algum vazamento (box ou na vaso sanitário), que deixava mais sujo e inútil a limpeza diária. Hostel é novo e ainda está ocorrendo alguns reparos estruturais, mas nada que atrapalhe a experiência. Piscina...

"Great place, great location and great service. All the dudes at the front desk were awesome. Made me feel at home even though we barely spoke the same language. Highly recommend this hostel to anyone in Salvador."

"Hostel is in an amazing location, however, they had a few issues when we were there (no electric and bed sheets). However, the staff made up for the issues and owner was great. Kitchen could do with a better hob."

"Due to a glitch with booking, we got given a better room at a cheaper price. We were able to occupy, what appeared to be, a 4 bedded dorm with our own private, extremely spacious bathroom for just the 2 of us, for 4 nights. The hostel is well located in an area with plenty of bars and restaurants. Only 15-20 minutes bus ride to Barra for the beach and a further 10 minutes to get to old town. The breakfast was pretty standard and was similar to breakfasts we had had in other Brazilian hostels - a...

"Incrível. Atendeu minhas expectativas. Os funcionários são muito atenciosos e prestativos. Bem localizado, limpo, charmoso. O melhor hostel que já fiquei e pretendo voltar."

"The location is perfect but the hotel is a disappointment. Bad services, dirty and dishonest. Go somewhere else."

"No me gustó nada. Un pésimo servicio, a pesar de que tenía una buena vista del mar."

"O quarto da foto não condiz com a realidade. Selecionei um quarto suite com janela para frente do hostel. Chegando la o quarto de frente não era suíte, o quarto suíte o qual paguei, na verdade era nos fundos do hostel, com uma visão não muito privilegiada."

"Ficamos em um quarto de casal, o quarto era grande, mas o banheiro tinha um cheiro horrível de esgoto, além do cheiro do lado de fora do quarto ser horrivel também, ja que o quarto que ficamos era ao lado do banheiro compartilhado. O ar condicionado não podia usar a qualquer horário e isso não foi explicado antes da reserva, ficamos sabendo quando chegamos lá. A tv nao funcionou, falamos com a recepção e não resolveram, ficamos sem TV os 2 dias. O café da manhã também era bem ruim, só tinha pão...

"Great host, friendly, multilingual staff, solid internet connection, easy to access, walking distance to bus transportation, beaches, barra downtown center, food/restaurants, huge shopping mall and amenities, staff was helpful for planning the rest of my trip, good breakfast, online description matched reality :-) Muito obrigada!!"

"I loved everything about this place. It’s a little room next to the beach and everything else you’ll need. The staff are all very nice. "

"Sou da cidade. Meu ap estava em obras e fiquei dois dias no hotel. Gostei. Quarto espaçoso, limpo, andar alto, muito silencioso, hotel bem localizado. Recomendaria apenas a troca dos colchões pois já estão afundados. Senti dor nas costas. Virei ao contrário e amenizou, mas já está na hora de trocar. "

"Beautiful property, pool, breakfast, staff. Surrounded by beauty, beach. Not in the middle of a concrete jungle. Best choice in the area I would say"

"We definitely enjoyed our stay at the Wish hotel. It's conveniently located in the heart of Salvador so we were a cheap Uber ride away from the main attractions. Breakfast and dinner were included (which was a surprise, didn't know dinner was!) and the food was outstanding! Not a bad meal the entire 5 days we were there. A fresh buffet for dinner with a lot of options. My only complaint is that they do need to update their rooms. They are a little dated. But other than that, we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend it. We found out the Wish is the first 5 star hotel in Salvador and the art work in there has a history according to our tour guide. "
