I've stayed at Cobreu a number of times in my travels through Salvador. The owners are full of hospitality and great ideas of things to do around the city. There are always great people to meet as other guests. The rooms are artsy and clean, and the best part is you are right in the middle of the cultural center... More

Salvador doesn´t seem to be the easiest place to find somewhere decent to stay at a reasonable price, Hostel Cobreu isn´t going to change that anytime soon. The location is great, in the heart of ´the Pelo´. There is, however, a downside to such a location: noise! It´s quite rowdy outside the hostel in the evenings - plenty of screaming... More

I think it is the best hostel in Salvador, at least in the old town. - The staff is very nice and helpful. Like a family. - The dorms are a little bit small, but big enough. There are fans, but no airconditioning. - Nice common area of computers (please fix the headphones or make it possible to connect your... More

Hostel Cobreu is in the beautiful historical center of Pelourinho, close to many of the best sights. It is a reliable hostel with comfortable beds, hot showers, and an UNBELIEVABLE breakfast (with eggs, ham, cheese, all kinds of fresh fruit, bread, butter, coffee, tea, juice, cake...). It is the best location to be on Tuesday nights, when the city parties... More

I stayed here with a friend, and then again when travelling solo. The hostel is clean and comfortable and the hostel staff are very friendly and EXTREMELY helpful (helping us make calls in Portugese-which I don't speak, looking up times and fares for various travel options, advising about places to go (and not to go), where to eat, nightlife, etc)....

This hostel was one of the best and most well maintained hostels I've stayed at. Amelia and Hector both really care about their customers and they are both very sweet people. The bartender downstairs was great too. I met great people from all around the world here. I think the review below is absolute rubbish (although I will admit on... More

Hello, I'm Amelia, one of the owners of Cobreu. I'm not sure if this review was written by a person who actually stayed here or a competitor trying to trash us as these comments are a bit far fetched. But if it is a real guest, I would just like to clarify that our cats have their own sandbox, away... More

My experience at Hostel Cobreu was amazing!! The owners, Hector and Amelia and the staff are extremely warm, welcoming, helpful and informed. Whenever I had questions about anything they were always there to help answer them for me and go beyond what I would expect from hotel staff. I had a question about Portuguese classes and Amelia called the school... More
