Vila Barra Porto

Staying at Vila Barra Porto was one of the best decisions I made during my trip to Salvador. The location is unbeatable—everything you’d want is within walking distance, from local restaurants and shops to iconic sights. The property itself is spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed to make guests feel at home. But what truly sets it apart is Tarsila, the owner. If you’re lucky enough to meet her, you’ll enjoy one of the most genuine and insightful conversations you’ve had in Bahia. Her local recommendations are gold—authentic, practical, and full of personality. This isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a real experience. Highly recommend for anyone visiting 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.

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.

America Towers Hotel

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.

Hotel Pousada Papaya Verde

The hotel is exactly as advertised online—no surprises, just honest value. We stayed for five days and found the place simple but well-equipped with all the essentials. The location is a real highlight: quiet street, close to restaurants, markets, Barra Beach, and Farol da Barra—the heart of Salvador. The hotel offers airport transfers, which made our arrival smooth. Breakfast was solid for the price: fresh juices made from local fruits, eggs cooked to order (including sugar-free options), and at least one homemade cake per day—delicious and thoughtful. I stayed in the 'Uva' room, which had a fan, air conditioning, TV, mini-fridge, private bathroom, and an open closet—comfortable and functional. There's also a pleasant rooftop terrace on the second floor, perfect for relaxing with a drink or enjoying sunset views. The front garden adds charm and privacy to the rooms. No bugs during our stay, and housekeeping was consistent with towel changes and room cleaning. One minor downside: slight humidity in the rooms, though they're constantly repainting to combat it. Staff can be a bit slow and occasionally confused, but it never disrupted our experience. Overall cleanliness could be improved slightly. Still, we highly recommend this place and definitely plan to return.

Pousada Bahia Morena

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!

Hotel Verdemar

The service at Hotel Verdemar was absolutely outstanding—staff went above and beyond to make sure I felt welcome and informed about everything the hotel had to offer. They genuinely cared about my comfort and well-being, which made a huge difference. The location is perfect: just steps away from the beach. While some people may say the beach isn’t ideal, I actually had a fantastic time enjoying the sun, sea breeze, and relaxed vibe. Everything I needed was within walking distance—supermarkets, small shops, pharmacies, and local eateries. Getting around was super easy too; a quick and affordable ride via the platform took me to all the main tourist spots in under 20 minutes. Breakfast was excellent—not just good quality but also beautifully presented, like what you’d expect from a top-tier hotel. Overall, my stay exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend this place more highly—it’s a true gem in Salvador.

Love Story (Adult Only)

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.
