Very good location. The hotel build in an ancinet convent is simply beautifull with a nice reading room and patio (with swimming pool). We liked the restaurant (which is very practical if you arrive late at the hotel in the evening). We had a very nice and large room with a big bed. We liked our stay there. A place in Salavador where to come back again. Breakfast is not at the level of this hotel. Security around the holtel remain an issue for tourist that would like to get out free and walk at any time.

Great location if you want to visit the historical centre. The fantastic building has been beautifully decorated. There is a charming swimming pool in a very quiet patio. The cuisine is excellent. All together staff are rather friendly and helpful (with a couple of exceptions). The hotel is supposed to be a 5-star hotel and claims to be a leading hotel in the world. However not enough attention is paid to details in the rooms and public spaces: windows hardly clean in my room, light bulbs that don't work. A couple of staff members were particularly unfriendly. This is not acceptable for this category of hotel.

The location is good. The design of the hotel, old monastry is very beautiful. Service at the bar is excellent and the chairs at the pool are very comfortable. The rooms, even though very luxurious, are quite dusty. It would not harm to do some vacuum cleaning. The spa/sauna is not good. It does not work well and is not cleaned very well.

Wonderful facilities in the Pelourinho district of Salvador Serving staff quite familiar but even when low workload they seemed very slow. Location in Pelourinho and transport situation - very difficult neighbourhood. For your own safety need to take a taxi from hotel front door - those that apply the hotel rate are premium rates compared to ordinary taxis called by telephone. Given the thick walls of the convent the mobile telephone network is difficult to get any coverage!

The serenity of the hotel and the tranquility. Breakfast was pleasantly served. The proximity to Pelourinho is a major advantage. My security box was not working. I reported it and a security man came to look and said it was the batteries. The box remained broken for my four day stay and noone came to rectify it. The cleaning of the room was slow and erratic.

The hotel is beautiful, the buildings and decor are very tasteful. Also liked the bar and pool area. Beds have great linen The staff were not always great, in fact some of the female waitstaff at the bar and breakfast were borderline surly and rude. I also think the food is over-priced. I asked for extra sliced tomatoes and they wanted to charge me R$11.00 which I found to be ridiculous.

O atendimento foi bom e o clima do local eh encantador. Escolhi o Convento para me arrumar para meu casamento e avisei ao hotel. Eles não informaram q a corrente era 220v ( em Salvador tudo eh 110v), a iluminação do quarto eh ruim para maquiagem. Os profissionais tiveram q se desbobrar! Tinha algo de manha que ficava dando uma pancada na parade, parecia o elevador.

Um lugar histórico, muito bem restaurado, onde foram adicionadas comodidades modernas sem afetar a proposta; restaurante ótimo, café da manhã de primeira, sem frescuras ou excessos. Clima intimista e relaxante, com seleção musical muito bem pensada, área de convívio e quarto bem decorados e muito bem cuidados. Os funcionários são prestativos, simpáticos e discretos, tornando a estadia bem agradável e relaxante. A localização é única, a alguns passos dos lugares históricos mais bonitos do centro. Parabéns ao grupo Pestana/Pousadas de Portugal! Voltarei em breve. Não chegou a atrapalhar, mas eu sugiro que a não aceitação de crianças seria perfeita

Prachtig oud klooster, goede service speciaal door receptie die ons heel hard hielp voor verdere reis te organiseren, prachtig zwembad op binnenkoer. Spijtig van de erg vuile ramen, dit voor een leading hotel of the world...

Achten Sie darauf, dass Sie niemals das Zimmer 210 erhalten, aufgrund der darüberliegenden Treppe ist an Ruhe nicht zu denken. Sehr positiv ist, das uns schnell ein anderes sehr ruhiges Zimmer angeboten wurde.

El edificio es maravilloso. Para ser un hotel de 5 estrellas gran lujo y un precio tan alto , carece de un servicio a ese nivel, carece de un restaurante a ese nivel tambien. El nivel de decoracion , mantenimiento del mobiliario, tapicerias es bastante precario. La limpieza es escasa. Los aseos de la planta bar-recepcion, olian de espanto.El gimnasio pequeño y viejo.Las toallas de la piscina pequeñas , de mala calidad y viejas. Tampoco merecedoras de un 5 estrellas gran lujo. El personal del bar es antipatico, poco amistoso, y muy lento. El personal de recepcion fue amable y atento , especialmente Cristina. Por ese precio te puedes alojar en el Ritz en Madrid o en el Grand Hotel en Paris.

As instalações são maravilhosas, serviço atencioso. Alguns dos funcionários eram visivelmente inexperientes, poderiam ser melhor treinados, mas isso não atrapalhou nossa estadia no hotel. A comida, há tempos considerada maravilhosa, também se mostrou fraca.

A feliz combinação da austeridade do prédio com o conforto hitech e a boa vontade e alegria dos funcionários. O s funcionários, embora alegres e demonstrando boa vontade no atendimento, deixavam transparecer que não estavam bem treinados.
