Lock in a great price for Hotel Catharina Paraguaçu – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

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 location is perfect the rooms are cosy and beautiful the stag at the front desk is very helpful the gym is amamzing as it is a proper gym so if u want to workout or swim or play tennis everything is there for you .

Parishot, India

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

Anita, Israel

The staff were very helpful. The location was very nice for the walks that we like to take and it was easy getting to places.

Raphael, Oman

The lacal is very pleasant, near the beach and good restaurants. many options , during day and night.

Nelia, Brazil

Very atmospheric heritage style building, and the breakfasts were awesome! Close to the beach and to active little civic squares where you can experience local colour and get a cheap feed.

Deb, Australia

For me the main selling-points are the location, right in the heart of Rio Vermelho, and the safe, onsite parking. In addition you'll get the charm of a beautiful old building and friendly, helpful staff. I have stayed here several times in the past and will no doubt book it again for the reasons above.

Unfortunately opposite a nightclub which belts out doof doof til 4 am 7 nights a week. We moved from the front room directly opposite the venue (avoid this room unless you intend to be a patron of said nightclub!) to a side room and it didn't bother us so much after that. You just have to accept a bit of noise when visiting Brazil!

Being an older building the rooms are perhaps not as modern or comfortable as in newer places and the aircon in our room was a bit noisy. The breakfast is a quite basic offering and could be improved.
For me the main selling-points are the location, right in the heart of Rio Vermelho, and the safe, onsite parking.
