Absolutely outstanding experience! The location is perfect—just a short walk from stunning natural attractions like waterfalls, lagoons, and natural hot springs. Everything we wanted to explore was within easy reach. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was diverse and delicious. Dinner was equally impressive in quality and presentation. I appreciated how thoroughly they prioritized safety during the pandemic—cleanliness and hygiene were clearly a top focus. This place truly offers everything you could want in a getaway, all while feeling peaceful and close to nature. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a relaxing, authentic escape.
Pousada Acácia da Barra
The breakfast was simple but absolutely delicious, with fresh and tasty ingredients that made every bite enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive—special shoutout to Vitória, who handles breakfast; her warm hospitality really made the experience memorable. The location is perfect—just a short walk from Farol da Barra, the beachfront bars, and the Barra shopping mall. With Bahia’s intense heat, definitely book a room with air conditioning. It’s worth it for the comfort and convenience. A fantastic stay overall!
Pousada Estrela do Mar
This hotel is absolutely wonderful! The breakfast was incredible—fresh, delicious, and varied every day. They offered a different natural juice each morning, along with treats like cake, couscous, tapioca, bread, cold cuts, and fresh fruit. It’s such a delightful way to start the day. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The entire place was spotless and well-organized. If you’re looking for a memorable stay in Salvador, this is the perfect choice—you won’t be disappointed!
Pousada Mar Aberto
The price is very fair, and the location is excellent—super convenient for getting around Salvador. I loved how close it was to local restaurants, shops, and attractions. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the place felt clean and welcoming throughout my stay. Definitely a great value for the quality you get.
Hotel Don Juan
Hotel Don Juan is located near the historic center of Salvador, which makes it convenient for exploring the city. The area is a bit risky at night, so I’d recommend being cautious after dark. The hotel itself is decent — clean rooms and a surprisingly good breakfast with a nice variety. However, the front desk service was a major letdown. The platform advertised 24-hour reception, but when we needed to check out early (at 6:00 AM) for a tour, the front desk was completely empty and the door locked. We had to track down the receptionist in another part of the building, who responded with irritation, scolding us for not informing them in advance about our departure time. That was extremely inconvenient and felt totally unreasonable. Given how early we were leaving, expecting guests to plan ahead like that isn’t practical. While the hotel’s basic amenities are solid, this poor experience significantly affected my overall impression. I wouldn’t recommend staying here, especially if you’re planning an early morning schedule.
Manga Rosa Suites
Manga Rosa Suites is a straightforward, no-frills stay located just steps from Porto da Barra Beach—perfect for travelers who value proximity and simplicity. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, with basic but satisfying breakfast options. Staff throughout the property are friendly and attentive, especially the kitchen team whose warmth really stood out. However, one major concern stands out: the manager was consistently seen without a mask during the Omicron surge, even in common areas. This lack of basic hygiene awareness was disappointing and concerning, especially in such a sensitive period. While the location, cleanliness, and overall service make this a solid choice, the management's disregard for health protocols is a significant drawback. Hope future guests won’t have to face the same issue.
Pousada Bamboo da Barra
The stay was absolutely comfortable—everything was spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully arranged. The breakfast was a real highlight, fresh and delicious. Location couldn’t be better: just a short walk from Farol da Barra lighthouse, local bakeries, restaurants, bars, and the Barra Shopping mall. The owner was incredibly welcoming and always available to help—genuine hospitality that made a big difference. We felt right at home. This place is a gem with exceptional value, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, authentic experience in Salvador.
Pousada do Pilar
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.
Hostel Barra
Staying at Hostel Barra was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with genuine warmth and were available 24/7—perfect for late arrivals or early departures. The rooms were spotless, stylishly decorated, and had a unique charm that made me feel right at home. What stood out most was how personal it felt—my name was written on my bed, which added such a nice touch. The location is fantastic, just steps from the metro and close to all the best spots in Salvador. Friendly staff, great vibe, and amazing value—all reasons why I’ll definitely be back.
Aquarena Hotel
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. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Salvador—whether for business or leisure. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. Definitely a top pick.
