I stayed at Pituba Praiamar Hotel in Salvador, Brazil, and had an excellent experience overall. While the bathroom is a bit small, it’s spotlessly clean and functional—no complaints there. What really stood out was the warm and friendly staff at the front desk and throughout the hotel. They went above and beyond to assist with anything I needed, making me feel welcome from day one. The location is perfect—just steps away from the beach, so morning walks along the shore were peaceful and refreshing. With its cozy vibe, great service, and affordable rates, this place offers fantastic value. I’d definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a relaxed, authentic stay in Salvador.

The Hotel in Salvador, Brazil is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transport. The breakfast buffet was exceptional, with a wide variety of fresh, local flavors including delicious pastries and freshly squeezed juices. Staff were incredibly attentive and polite, always ready to assist with a smile. The entire stay felt seamless and welcoming. Highly recommend this hotel for travelers seeking comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality.

Absolutely avoid this place—leaving felt like escaping a nightmare. This isn’t a hotel, more like a hostel with zero standards. Upon arrival, my booked room had no working air conditioning, and the neighboring unit was under construction—noise so loud it felt like it was inside our room. We asked to switch, but the only available room was a queen-sized bed, so we reluctantly shared it with my husband and 13-year-old son. Then came the worst part: I was in Salvador celebrating a dear friend’s birthday, and she was supposed to stay at the same hotel so we could all be together. When she arrived during a heavy downpour, she discovered her room had been reassigned to us—and she had nowhere to stay. Shocked and heartbroken, she said, 'It’s my birthday!' The owner, Cristiane, replied coldly: 'You’re not getting a room here.' 😱😱 My friend ended up staying with friends, but Cristiane didn’t offer help—no Uber call, no support, nothing. We had no choice but to stay. The next day, we found out breakfast wasn’t included—it cost 37 BRL per person—and again, no courtesy or compensation offered. No face towel, no bath mat, and on Sunday night into Monday, one of the bars played music at ear-splitting volume until 4 AM, then started again at 7 AM. On our final night, there was no hot water for showers. Pure hell. If you value peace, comfort, and basic decency—run away from this place. Don’t let anyone stay here. It’s not worth it.

Staying at Vila Barra Porto was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Salvador. The location is unbeatable—everything you’d want is within walking distance, from local restaurants and shops to iconic sights. The property itself is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed to make guests feel at home. But what truly sets it apart is Tarsila, the owner. If you’re lucky enough to meet her, you’ll enjoy one of the most genuine and insightful conversations you’ve had in Bahia. Her local recommendations are gold—authentic, practical, and full of personality. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a real experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Salvador.

Staying at Laranjeiras Hostel was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—super central, safe, and easy to get around the area by foot or public transit. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the breakfast was fresh, plentiful, and delicious. I stayed in a private room with an ensuite bathroom—clean, well-maintained, and felt just as comfortable as a mid-range hotel. The room itself was spacious, featuring a closet, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and free Wi-Fi—perfect for relaxing after a day exploring. There’s live outdoor entertainment just a few blocks away, which can get lively on weekends, but it’s mostly brief and doesn’t carry into the night. Inside the hostel, it’s quiet and peaceful, making it easy to sleep soundly. On the ground floor, there’s a small but fully equipped shared kitchen, a water refill station, and a cozy little restaurant—great for grabbing a bite without leaving the property. Everything is thoughtfully designed, and the overall vibe is friendly and laid-back. If you're looking for a budget-friendly yet high-quality stay in Salvador, this place is a top pick.

I arrived late at night and was warmly welcomed by the owner, who even recommended trustworthy drivers for my arrival.

We stayed at Pousada do Pilar with a group during our trip to Brazil, and it was an unforgettable experience. The place has a unique charm with its wooden staircases and simple yet clean rooms.

This hotel doesn’t actually exist—there’s nothing but construction barriers blocking the entire property. I booked through the platform, only to find out it’s completely closed and abandoned. It’s really misleading that this listing is still active. I’d strongly recommend travelers and locals alike to leave feedback to warn others—don’t get caught like I did. The lack of updates and transparency is disappointing, especially when you’re relying on accurate info for your trip. This place should be taken down from the site.

Breakfast was an absolute highlight: fresh, diverse, and full of local flavors. I didn’t have to leave the hotel to enjoy a delicious morning meal. It’s rare to find such a reliable, comfortable, and welcoming place, especially at this price point. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip to Salvador—and I’ve already recommended it to friends.
