I was truly impressed by this pousada. It's incredibly convenient, just a short walk from top attractions like Pelourinho—perfect for exploring on foot. The staff went above and beyond with their warm welcome and excellent service. The lobby is spotless, well-organized, and welcoming. I was genuinely taken care of—I even got helpful suggestions for local sights and activities. The attention to detail and hospitality made my stay feel personal and memorable. Definitely a standout choice in Salvador.

My stay at this hostel was extremely disappointing. I lost my money while staying there, which raised serious safety concerns. To make matters worse, the room I was given was completely different from the one I booked—definitely not what was advertised. The street where the property is located is also very unsafe, especially at night. It’s dark and filled with homeless individuals who constantly approach guests shouting for money, demanding 'give me 50, 20 reais'—it felt intimidating and uncomfortable throughout the night. Overall, the experience was far from what I expected. The location, safety, and room accuracy were all major issues. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

This stay completely exceeded my expectations. I’ve visited over 15 hotels in Salvador before, but never experienced such incredible value at this price point. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach with stunning views and easy access to local attractions. More importantly, the owner truly goes above and beyond. From the thoughtful renovations to the personal touches throughout the property, it’s clear this place was restored with passion and care. When I ran into a minor internet issue, she didn’t just fix it—she personally followed up, adjusted settings, and made sure I was comfortable. That kind of dedication made me extend my stay by two extra nights. It’s rare to find someone who invests so much effort not only into creating a beautiful space but also into ensuring every guest feels valued and happy. If you’re looking for authenticity, warmth, and exceptional hospitality, this is the place. I wholeheartedly recommend it—and I’ll definitely be back.

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. What truly stood out was the warm hospitality of the owners—they made us feel right at home. The highlight was definitely the breakfast on the rooftop, where we enjoyed a panoramic view of the ocean. Everything was prepared by hand—from delicious fruit cakes to freshly squeezed juices—each bite full of care and flavor. It’s not just a stay; it’s a genuine taste of Brazilian warmth and authenticity. A must-visit for anyone looking for something special.

Staying at Aquarena Hotel in Salvador was an absolute delight. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transit. The hotel itself is spotless, with brand-new facilities and cozy, well-designed rooms that feel both modern and welcoming. Every detail, from the comfortable beds to the thoughtful touches in the decor, makes for a relaxing stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt warm and inviting.

Staying at Hotel Porto Da Barra was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transit. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always maintaining a safe, clean environment with proper distancing and mask usage. Our room was spotless, fresh-smelling, and well-maintained throughout our stay. We didn’t have breakfast since we left early in the morning, but even without that, the value for money was outstanding. For comfort, cleanliness, and convenience, this hotel truly delivers on every level—highly recommend it to anyone visiting Salvador.

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.

I absolutely loved my stay at Suites do Meson in Salvador! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the metro and surrounded by great local restaurants and shops. The room was spotless, cozy, and very well-appointed with everything I needed. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, friendly service—always smiling, helpful, and attentive. 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.

The stay at this hotel was absolutely fantastic! The room was quiet and well-insulated, making it a peaceful retreat after a day exploring Salvador. Breakfast was delicious and varied—especially loved the local pastries and fresh fruit. Location-wise, it's incredibly convenient: just a short walk to Salvador Shopping and right next to the metro station, so getting around town is a breeze. I originally booked a standard room, but due to an issue with the air conditioning, the staff kindly upgraded me to a larger suite with two TVs, a comfortable sofa, and a dining table—way more spacious and enjoyable than expected. The team was attentive and efficient in handling the change without any hassle. Overall, the service, comfort, and value for money were outstanding. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Salvador—great experience from start to finish.

Staying at Pousada Bahia Morena was an absolute highlight of our trip to Salvador. The warmth and genuine hospitality truly set this place apart—especially Roberto, who welcomed us with such kindness and humility, even on short notice. We were a family of five exploring Salvador, and without a doubt, this pousada was our best choice. The breakfast view is breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the entire city—rich in history, color, and charm. Location-wise, it’s perfect for tourists: all major attractions are within walking distance, making sightseeing effortless and enjoyable. One thing to note for guests with mobility concerns: request a ground-floor or street-level room in advance, as there’s no elevator and several flights of stairs lead up to the rooms. That said, every other aspect of the stay was exceptional. Huge thanks to the team at Pousada Bahia Morena and to everyone in Salvador for creating such a memorable experience—we’ll be back!

My stay at Love Story Hotel (Adult Only) in Salvador, Brazil was extremely disappointing. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, the shower provided only cold water—no hot water at all—which made for a very unpleasant experience. To make matters worse, there was no internet connection in the room, which was a major inconvenience for me. I requested a discount, but was told it wasn’t possible. I also asked about upgrading to a better room, but that was denied too. In the end, we were stuck with just one bed and no comfort whatsoever. The entire experience felt underwhelming and poorly managed. For the price and location, this hotel simply doesn’t deliver. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The Hotel Dom Passos is incredibly convenient, located right in the heart of Salvador. I was impressed by how easy it was to access public transportation and nearby attractions—everything was just a short walk away. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making my stay comfortable and stress-free. The hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of location, cleanliness, and service. It's an ideal base for exploring the city, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a central, well-located, and welcoming place to stay.
