Renilda United States of America

*Beautiful, period rooms with plenty of space and character. *Large bathroom with fresh towels daily. *Everything was exceptionally clean. *Air con was quiet and effective. *Reasonably priced minibar. *Comfortable bed with quality bedding. *Friendly staff who spoke good English (amongst other languages). *Breakfast was simple, but well executed and served in the lovely courtyard. *Central location right in the heart of the old town. We felt safe enough as long as you use common sense.

Nicholas United Kingdom

great service, especially from the waitstaff at breakfast (Maria made us feel like we were at home and was very attentive and friendly.)

Adam United States of America

Everything was outstanding. The service was friendly and competent, the facilities in great condition, the room well-appointed. The location could not have been better for exploring Pelourinho, and the view from our balcony was great. Breakfast was ample and delicious.

Jennifer Brazil

Lovely hotel right in the buzzing center of Salvador at one of the main squares. We had a wonderful spacious room, nicely decorated and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Pretty bathroom with a strong shower, quality towels and a seating area in the hallway with a couch and TV. The staff is friendly and the breakfast is good with fresh cut fruits, yoghurt, granola, bread, eggs and a local dish. I celebrated my birthday during our stay and when returning to our room we found a bottle of champagne with a little note. How attentive! :) We hope to return some day.

Due to travel issues, we needed assistance from the hotel; they were beyond helpful and generous in their assistance!

Lance United States of America

the property was beautiful, comfortable, well located and clean.

Stacey United States of America

The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful décor. Our room was very clean and opened up to the José Anchieta Square across from the famous cross. There are many restaurants and cafes to choose from within walking distance. My husband and I rarely went outside of the area because there was so much to do. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was top notch and a great way to start the day. You get to choose your breakfast items and it was always fresh.
