Nomads was one of our favourite hostels that we've stayed in in South America! The vibe was really friendly and sociable and there were lots of activities arranged by the hostel so it's easy to meet people. The bar closes at 10pm so it's quiet at night if you want to sleep. The staff were really nice and helpful. Carol was amazing and made sure everyone had the best time on the boat trip! The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend staying here!

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!

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.

Great location - not too far from the beachfront, a few restaurants and supermarkets. As a solo female traveller, the location meant that it also felt safe walking around at night. Hostel is fairly big with open communal areas which allow for socialising! Own kitchen too where a lot of guests cook which is also an added bonus.

Great location right in front of the beach and by the lighthouse. The promenade is brightly lit at night so very safe, and it's a great people watching spot! The hostel is clean with a cute social area. There are a number of bars and restaurants and supermarkets super close.
