Good value proposition. Fair/clean/solid breakfast hotel, in a good / safe location and walkable distance to Farol da Barra and less than 10min car to Pelourinho.

Hugo United States of America

I liked the swimming pool and the location. The bed was big with a great view from the sea.

Mariana Netherlands

Good Bed, Excellent breakfast from 7am to 10 am, Friendly staff, I was on a pleasure and business trip as I had some work to do at the university of Bahia and the Hotel is conveniently located 5 minutes from the university. Also very close to the main attractions in the city.

Adnan Libya

Everything! It's nearby the most famous tourist spots in Salvador.

Dionei Brazil

Room was clean, nice and big. I love the ocean view, super bonus. Breakfast was included and it was really good. Omelette and Tapioca stations, and lots of options for all tastes. The pool is not big but good, and I really liked the bar in the pool, which also had contactless menu. We used uber or friends car to drive around but the hotel has a taxi stop in front of the main entrance.

Adriane United States of America

The staff was excellent - courteous, professional. The breakfast was very good and the room was very comfortable. Special compliment to the person who served at the bar in the lobby. He was always extremely polite and had the important quality of remembering the drinks his customers liked.
