Novotel Salvador Rio Vermelho
The ocean-view room was absolutely stunning—spacious, bright, and with a balcony that offered uninterrupted views of the sea. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the endless blue horizon was truly magical. The breakfast was delicious and varied, with fresh local touches that made it special. The hotel’s location is fantastic—just a short walk from the city center and easily accessible by public transit. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s where I created one of my most cherished memories in Salvador. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area—perfect blend of comfort, scenery, and value.

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.
Bahiacafé Hotel
My stay at Bahiacafé Hotel was absolutely wonderful. The property was immaculate and beautifully maintained, with a breakfast spread that exceeded expectations—especially the fresh ciabatta made by Josi, which was simply divine. Patricia, the host, is such a kind and attentive person; her warmth made the entire experience feel personal and welcoming. The service at check-in was flawless—10/10 in every way. Located just steps from the metro, it's incredibly convenient for exploring Salvador. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. I’m already planning my return visit!

The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service—always ready to help with recommendations or any request. It’s clear they take pride in providing a comfortable experience.

The location is fantastic—super convenient and safe, with easy access by public transit. The room was spotless and impeccably clean, making the stay very comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and always attentive, going above and beyond to help with anything we needed. Everything about this place felt perfect—from the ambiance to the service.

Pousada Beija Flor
I traveled to Salvador last December for work, and all the hotels I usually stay at were fully booked. Thankfully, my company managed to secure a lovely stay at Pousada Beija Flor in the Santo Antônio neighborhood. I was doubly impressed—by both the area and the experience, which felt like it came straight out of a Jorge Amado novel. The neighborhood is full of character: colorful streets, local vibes, and an authentic Bahian atmosphere. The hotel itself is charming, clean, and well-maintained, with friendly staff who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. It’s just a short walk or quick transit ride to downtown, making it easy to explore the city. The overall experience exceeded expectations—perfect for travelers who want a mix of culture, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely choose this place again on my next visit to Salvador.
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.
Hostel Galeria 13
The atmosphere at this hostel is incredibly welcoming, and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. The included breakfast is generous and delicious—perfect for starting the day right. Located right in the heart of Pelourinho, it’s steps away from historic sights, local shops, restaurants, and vibrant street life. What really stands out is the daily WhatsApp updates with curated recommendations for tours, dining spots, and city events—super convenient and thoughtful. Everything you need for an authentic Salvador experience is just outside your door. This place feels like a home away from home, and I’d absolutely stay here again.
Hostel Cores do Pelô
I had an amazing stay at this hostel! Even though I don’t speak Portuguese, the staff went above and beyond to help me plan my trip around Salvador. They gave great tips and made everything so easy. The breakfast was delicious—fresh and filling. Best of all, the location is perfect: just a short walk to Pelourinho, where you can easily catch an Uber or taxi. The atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and vibrant. It’s clear they care about guests’ experience. I’d definitely come back here on my next visit to Salvador.
Marazul Hotel
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.
Hotel Pedra da Concha
We were just looking for a place to sleep, but this ended up being one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. Right when we arrived, the pillow was covered in someone else's hair—there was no way to tell if it had been changed or not—and it looked pretty grimy. Later that night, we found a cockroach in the bathroom and asked for insecticide, but shockingly, the hotel didn’t even have any. The breakfast was awful—cakes and pastries swarming with flies, and the tapioca was inedible. The overall cleanliness was terrible, and the staff didn’t seem to care. I won’t be returning, and honestly, this stay felt more like a horror story than a vacation. Definitely not worth it.
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!
