I loved the affable staff members like Rafael and Ana. They were so helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make my stay in Rio Vermelho great. I had loads of questions and they never made me feel like I was putting them out, so I really appreciated that. I got great recommendations for places to visit, and multiple resources which made my trip in Salvador safe as well as productive. Plus I got a room with a view of the beach off the varanda which I loved.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
