to get started.

Perfect place to explore Rio Vermelho, right next to Largo de Santana! The hotel is tastefully decorated with a mix of historical and modern take. Right on the action but quiet at the same time. RV is the place to be if you want to avoid the overly touristic Pelô and this hotel is right on the money

Manuel, Norway

This is my second time in this hotel, and I would stay there again! Excellent breakfast. The neighborhood, Rio Vermelho, is beautiful, safe and has the best options of bars and restaurants in Salvador. The room is comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a historic building.

Anthony, Brazil

for someone who doesn't want the quintessential tourist experience in Salvador, this hotel and location is really ideal - that said, its helpful to have some knowledge of the city if staying here

Anna, United States of America

Great location in Salvador. The staff is extremely kind, polite and useful.

Rn_1980, Brazil

The breakfast was good, and the service was good too

Lucasxas, Australia

It felt very safe. I am from Europe so I did like that

Maija, Chile

The interior and its homely atmosphere. Nice gardens to relax and a good breakfast buffet. Very clean room and very comfortable beds!

My, Netherlands

The place is beautiful, very romantic and charming. We loved the whole traditional vibe and the location couldn’t have been better. Located between two of the best acarajé places and right near the most amazing Bahia cuisine restaurants. We walked everywhere and felt safe the whole time. Highly recommended!

Laura, Netherlands

Staff were so friendly and accommodating. We arrived early morning after an overnight bus ride not expecting to check in til 2pm, the staff accommodated us to check in much earlier. Breakfast is awesome. Only thing bathroom was a little pokey and water flow in tap sometimes off. Otherwise all was fantastic

Francesca, United Kingdom

All the staff was lovely and very helpful and also spoke English (very important!). The place is beautiful, a renovated old building with many lovely corners to sit and relax

Weather was crazy hot but that's not the hotel's fault!
The staff we're fantastically helpful. It's in a great location in the centre of the bohemian neighbourhood of Rio Vermelho. Easy walking distance to the best restaurants and beaches. Perfect for the Festival of Yemanja! Pretty Garden. Sea Views. Fabulous breakfast buffet! Wish we could have stayed longer.
