to get started.

Perfect location in the coolest neighborhood of Salvador - Rio Vermelho. Best bars and restaurants are a short walk from the hotel. Rooms are comfortably set in a beautiful old house refurbished with a new pavilion. Breakfast is great and staff is very kind. Second time here and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Salvador.

Excellent location Very nice staff Beautifully renovated colonial house

Carlos

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

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.

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

The gent at the front desk was very nice - extremely cool, calm and super-helpful. He also made a phonecall for me, to translate in portugues. The breakfast was real good. The renovated colonial house is very charming.

I don’t know the other rooms, but mine was real bad: No sight out the window. Just a wall and the neighbour’s air condition, which ran all through the night, very noisy. The AC in my room did not really work and was shot off after a while. I usually don‘t need AC. But with the neighbour‘s AC it was impossible to let the window open. At 6 am started the kitchen‘s noise at the other side. I recommend: Don‘t take room 348 in the ground floor!!

The room had a safe but we had to ask for the lock as at check in they din't provide it. We booked 2 rooms and when we came back in the evening one of the rooms hadn't been cleaned and the beds were not made, while in the other one all towels were missing. We complained and reported it immediately at reception. They apologized and said something but couldn't understand it as they spoke only portuguese. The next day at check out we were asked to pay the whole amount of the reservation, it seemed that the receptionist dindn't know what had happened. We complained again and asked for a discount, which was ganted
The room was big and comfortable . After our complain the manager granted 1 night discount on one room.
