Hotel Casa do Amarelindo

Staying at Hotel Casa do Amarelindo was an absolute delight. This charming little gem is perfectly located in Salvador, just a short walk from the heart of the city and all its vibrant energy. What truly sets it apart is the personal touch—the staff and owner know each guest by name, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere that feels incredibly welcoming. The breakfast starts at 7 AM, but on one occasion when our schedule was particularly tight, they kindly arranged a full breakfast at 6:30 AM just for us—such thoughtful service is rare and deeply appreciated. The restaurant’s small garden and terrace offer stunning views, making morning coffee or breakfast a peaceful, memorable experience. Every detail feels intentional, from the cozy ambiance to the attention to comfort. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a home away from home with exceptional value and genuine hospitality.

Aram Yamí Boutique Hotel

Aram Yamí Boutique Hotel is an exceptional find in Salvador. Located just steps away from Pelourinho, it's incredibly convenient and feels safe even in the evening. The rooms are well-equipped, quiet, and offer stunning views of the bay—perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city. The staff are genuinely warm and attentive, going above and beyond to make guests feel at home. We made a small mistake by booking a massage at a nearby spa instead of at the hotel itself. After paying full price for two 2-hour sessions, we were disappointed—the therapist was unskilled and rushed through the treatments. Lesson learned: always book your spa services directly through the hotel. It’s safer, more reliable, and worth every penny. This place truly delivers on comfort, service, and location—highly recommend for anyone visiting Salvador.

Intercity Salvador

Staying at Intercity Salvador was a great experience overall. The room was surprisingly spacious with modern amenities—everything felt fresh and well-maintained, especially the bed and bathroom fixtures. Being on a higher floor helped reduce noise from the street, making it quiet and peaceful, perfect for a good night's sleep. The only minor downside was waiting for the elevator, which could take a bit longer than expected, but other facilities like the mini-fridge, laundry options, and air conditioning worked perfectly fine. Cleanliness was impressive—every corner looked spotless, including the bathroom and carpets, which were free of dust or stains. The location is unbeatable: right next to a shopping mall, so grabbing food, snacks, or just exploring the area was super easy. Public transport access was also convenient nearby.
