Nomads Hostel Multicultural & Coworking, hotel in Salvador

Nomads Hostel Multicultural & Coworking in Salvador provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a bar.

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!

Really nice staff. Felt like family. They would bring us fruits from the market, which was really nice. They always looked after us, that we were safe. When the WiFi wasn’t working for a day, they even brought us to a place with WiFi. Across the street there is a Subway Sandwich.

    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.

    HG13 is probably the best hostel in Salvador! The room was spacious and clean, with fresh linen and towels. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was helpful and lovely. The free caipirinha was delicious. Wifi worked like magic. The location was excellent and reachable by Uber ( before we came, I was told only official taxis can reach the centre) or by foot, really close to all the attractions and museums. I felt really safe and would stay in this hostel again.

    Nice hostel and a great price. The best hostel breakfast I've had and free caipirinhas at happy hour were fab! What I liked most about this hostel is everything is set up to encourage you to mingle with other backpackers as much as possible. We met so many cool people which isn't always easy in some hostels. We extended our stay and would stay again.
