Kwangsoo, United States of America

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.

Tangocil, United States of America

Amazing Location The hotel is wonderfull. The room decor and the services are outstanding. Definitely I will return. Sparkling clean Very good breakfast

Bogdan, Romania

Just a wonderful hotel with the best location. The rooms and the whole hotel were decorated by the Ts. Amazing guest service skills.

Rodrigo, United States of America

Hotel was my kind of ideal: intimate, charming, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, clean and friendly in a gorgeous central location. I felt like I was at home. The staff were all exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful. The (included) breakfast was generous and yummy; the restaurant was delicious.

Erica, Canada

The building itself was beautiful. Restored with an eye for detail. Also the breakfast was very generous and nice.

Filip, Belgium

Very charming hotel and perfectly well located in the historic center of Salvador. Very charming and helpful staff.

Diego, Uruguay

Great historic property. Location is great but beware of hoards of tourists and music and noise in front and back. It is pelourinho so nothing you can do about that. Restaurant offers terrific dinner menu by Chef Luto. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Rooms are quaint and bathrooms very nice.

Alexander, United States of America

Location, comfortable room, fabulous breakfast and friendly staff.

Anonymous, Panama

The property is visually stunning inside and out. A lot of care and attention had been given to all of the details, both big and small. As an Architect and interior designer I appreciated it all the more. It is rare to find accommodation that exceeds my expectations and this one certainly did. The staff went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. The reception staff all spoke very good English. Our stay was an absolute delight and I wish I had more time to spend there.

The small pool. The little one they have is tucked close in by walls and feels a little awkward to want to enjoy time at (for me) so didn't use (even though was hot and muggy and would have felt nice).

Superb location, beautifully restored historic building, truly boutique hotel. Mr Santiago was a truly exceptional concierge, whose in depth knowledge of Salvador, and advice on cultural events made my stay in Salvador interesting. I am very grateful for his input, and understanding of guests needs.

There was a lot of traditional drumming right behind the hotel, but it did add to the ambiance.
The breakfast was varied, filling and delicious. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The location was excellent- very central to the old town. The ambiance inside was calm and the historical setting was just what we desired staying in this part of Salvador. Would definitely stay there again.
