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.

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.

It’s clear this place values guest experience above all. The atmosphere blends heritage charm with modern luxury seamlessly. If you’re visiting Salvador, this is the only hotel worth considering.

Fera Palace Hotel

Our stay at Fera Palace Hotel was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Leandro greeted us with such warmth and energy—his passion for Salvador truly shone through, making us feel instantly welcome.

Every staff member we met was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience special. The rooms were spacious and impeccably designed, with beds so comfortable we almost didn’t want to get out of them. The rooftop pool and bar offered breathtaking views of the harbor—perfect for relaxing with a drink in hand. As food lovers, we were blown away by the quality and creativity of the cuisine.
