Lock in a great price for Pousada Estrela do Mar – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Pousada Estrela do Mar was visually beautiful. It is decorated with white and blue tiles and has eclectic paintings on the walls. The staff at the front desk, especially Daniel, were so kind, patient, and helpful. A lovely aspect of the Pousada was how organized they were. Upon our arrival we received a map of the area, a little paper with the wifi code, and a paper of recommended restaurants nearby- super useful! The breakfast was amazing! Did I mention they have bfast until 12p? There was fresh squeezed OJ, cut-up fruit like watermelon and papaya, delicious eggs made to order and fresh bread with ham and cheese! They even had exotic fruit jams like pineapple and guava!

Excellent location within walking distance to farol da Barra. Super friendly and nice staff. Breakfast prepared freshly with a base of bread fruits, tapioca crepes and eggs but with a new local recipe daily. Our day had fried curd cheese which was delicious. Cute picturesque building, tiles and windows.

“Estrela do Mar is a great place to stay- yummy breakfast, great area, and awesome staff!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double Room

눉On a negative note, I do think that the room was smaller than I expected for my partner and I. There was also no pool, but thankfully we were right in front of the ocean and very close to the lighthouse of Salvador.
눇Pousada Estrela do Mar was visually beautiful. It is decorated with white and blue tiles and has eclectic paintings on the walls. The staff at the front desk, especially Daniel, were so kind, patient, and helpful. A lovely aspect of the Pousada was how organized they were.

눉The only thing I dislike is not even their fault; there are some men that seats all day at the street beside the Pousada trying to get money from watching cars, and they are very loud and screaming and they disturb people when walking down the street.
눇Everything is excellent! You feel at home at Pousada Estrela do Mar! The staff from reception, Núbia and João and the owner Shaun, were extremely nice and friendly! There is always nice hot coffee for the guests, and the room is very cozy, the beds are very comfortable! The location is excellent, near shopping area and restaurants.

눉Wi-Fi in the rooms was terrible. Needed to go to the reception to use it. Reception area does have tables and you can sit there and use the Wi-Fi. Beds were old and not very comfy. But ok for one night.
눇Excellent location within walking distance to farol da Barra. Super friendly and nice staff. Breakfast prepared freshly with a base of bread fruits, tapioca crepes and eggs but with a new local recipe daily. Our day had fried curd cheese which was delicious.

“Nice and friendly guesthouse in Salvador with a very nice breakfast”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Superior Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The big size bed in the superior room was great, however the second bed was only a single sized bed. Unfortunately we also had a cockroach in the bathroom. Considering the tropical weather in Salvador, this could probably happen in every guesthouse.
눇The best breakfast we had in Brazil with daily varieties, fresh juices and local food such as tapioca cake. We had a superior room, with a pretty big bathroom, aircon, fridge and TV. The television has a nice selection of international channels. The staff was very nice and helpful. Great location, less then 5 minutes away from the Lighthouse and beach. Many restaurants and bars around the corner.

눉I stayed in a room under the stairs and it was a little bit stuffy and smelly. Also, the breakfast was too much food and a bit heavy for first thing in the morning.
눇The location was perfect and the staff were extremely helpful. The free coffee, tea and hammocks were also a very nice detail which made the place really nice to stay in.

“DON'T LOOK FURTHER, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE FOR YOUR STAY IN SALVADOR”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Superior Triple Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉If I really should mention something is that the room could have been a bit bigger. But this ain't something that you can just change. I mean the space is given. :) But what could be improved is adding more options to hang clothes. I do not necessarily mean hangers what you can put in the closet but on the wall. And more power sockets would be handy, too. For the rest, it was just all too perfect.
눇It's a simple accommodation. Perfect if you have no special needs and need no luxury. Yet, it was just perfect for the purpose: sleeping. It was a typical (as far as I know) Brazilian-type accommodation and looked superb. What a difference the personnel can make was proved at this place. I would like to hereby thank Sean and his staff for being so friendly and helpful at all times. They assisted us with our thousand of questions, gave advice on basically anything, booked tours for us and much more. Given my gluten-free diet, I often have problems finding something to eat. Here, there were no problems as I got freshly made cheese bread (pão de queijo) every morning. Thumbs up for that and basically for everything you do. I love your approach to the guests. That's how it should be.
