This is an absolutely stellar hotel with a fabulous restaurant. The historic hotel environment is like a museum. The whole hotel is filled with gorgeous antiques. The restaurant is utterly beautiful and the food incredibly special.

A beautiful old house with gorgeous romantic large rooms, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast, set in a wonderful location at a breathtaking square with the famous church and near all attractions . The staff at the reception were nice, attentive and helpful. The restaurant manager at breakfast was a bit rude but maybe she just had bad days. We stayed 2 nights and it was the best part of our Salvador short visit.

An awesome boutique hotel in the middle of fun chaos. Loved the location. The double windows/doors really helped with street noise. Room was spacious and gracious. Had two luggage racks (thank you!). Lovely decorations. Hotels had nice sitting areas in a few places. Excellent staff - helpful in many ways. Breakfast (not buffett) lovely and great coffee! Wifi decent mostly, but did go in/out some.

Faint plumbing smell in room (Guinė). Not a lot of soundproofing (phone calls to the reception woke me up), which is of course expected in this type of building.
Wonderful old building with lots of character. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very good breakfast.

The bar prices were high. The laundry was too expensive. The bread could be fresher, and breakfast became boring after a few days. Our bathroom needed some attention and could have been cleaner.
The staff were a real asset to the hotel. The decor and restoration of a couple of old houses was done sensitively and tastefully. Our room Madagascar was magnificent. It was on the main square. I suggest if you want a quiet room you got to the back of the building although the street music does stop at 10pm.

The old town is noisy late at night, The hotel is in a pedestrianised street with musical performers every night. The hotel is very charming but don't expect 5* facilities, it is shabby chic.
A lovely boutique hotel located in a charming street in the old town. We had a good sized room with a terrace but all the rooms are different. The staff are very helpful and friendly, some don't speak english. Food at lunch and evening is reasonable and the breakfast is very good although not extensive. There's a nice lounge and a tiny plunge pool
