Salvador … Definitely stay in the Pelourinho district. There are a lot of things to do in the area. Beware of beggars and people trying to sale you little ribbons as "gifts" or "presents". They are trying to scam you. Visit the beaches, especially on Sat/Sun.
Salvador … Be extremely cautious of your belongings here as petty theft is very common.

Albergue o Pharol in Itacaré … I want to say that Hostel O Pharol is an amazing place. Itacare is so beautiful, with its beaches, the people, capoeira, "forros" [dance halls]— everything. I really enjoy it here. It's one of the more beautiful places that I know.
Residencial Das Araras in Porto Seguro … This is a great hostel. We've stayed here with carnaval. The price was the same as normal, so especially with carnaval this is a good hangout. The owner, Paul Ericksson, is a great lad with tremendous stories. Ask him about his career as a 'flowerman'. A very good breakfast is provided by his beautiful sister-in-law.
Iemanja Hostel in Salvador … I was there in 2000 by myself. It was very cool. I hope to stay there again. Hi staff. Is my sketch still up?

Pousada Porto D'Ajuda in Porto Seguro … I really enjoyed spending time at the pool!!!
HI - Salvador - Laranjeiras Hostel in Salvador … Beds ok, but dorms are like monkey enclosures, and you may end up sleeping twelve foot off the ground. Bathroom ok, but might be crowded in high season. Staff a mix -- they don't check any bookings made on a Sunday, so book in advance, and they stuffed up our taxi collection. Still, they have a reliable taxi man for connections back to airport. Some staff pretty useless with vacant stares. Atmosphere varies depending on the crowd, but plenty of communal areas -- good creperie downstairs, (but avoid the mushroom crepe!) and two computers with Skype.
HI - Salvador - Laranjeiras Hostel in Salvador … I liked the hostel much. The hostel is big and the rooms too. We booked a triple room with a bathroom and we had also a big balcony. The room was cleaned every day and in general was neat. The breakfast was good, they serve bread with cheese and some fruits, marmalade, and pies. There is plenty of space to hang out and two computers to use. And in the creperia there are some concerts and live music, but not too late at night. The staff were not especially friendly but not bad as well. And there is a safety system at night that only the hotel inhabitants can get in. And the localisation is great as well!
