Right at the end of famous Pelourinho and close by the Lacerda elevator to the harbour quarter, this is an elegant, though noisy boutiquish hotel. Staff is friendly and speaks its English well. The interior of this old colonial house was brought down to its essentials and makes an airy and casual impression. The various function rooms on the 1st... More

This hotel is in a great location for the central historic area of Salvador. The staff were helpful and spoke good English. The hotel also doubles up as a cafe and internet cafe. The rooms were of a typical rustic nature which was very nice. Our room came with an air-con unit which worked well. The bed was comfortable, there... More

My friend and I spent 2 wonderful nights at this hotel which is perfectly located, in the heart of Pelourinho, + - 1h10 minutes by bus from the airport. To get to the hotel, we took the red bus from the airport (line name is Praca da Se) at the cost of 2.80 R$ and it leaves approximately every 50... More

This is an old building lovingly restored and converted into a small hotel right in Praca de Se which is the heart of old Salvador. To get to the Cathedral is a 30 second walk! This is an area which 20 years ago you might not have dared venture into but it is now a lively place with decent hotels,... More

We stayed in the Bahiacafe Hotel for one night on our way to Morro de São Paulo and wishes we could have stayed for longer. What a charming place, great service and lovely rustic rooms. Fab staff, ever so helpful. Breakfast is a little basic but certainly sufficient. We will be back given the opportunity.

We booked the hotel because of it's unique location, in an old house right at Praça da Sé. The hotel has plenty of nice small details in terms of decoration creating a very pleasant 'ethnic' atmosphere. The room was nice with a safe and a window to a inner court, which was great as Salvador can be a noisy place...the... More

This hotel is a wonderful find right in the middle of the Historic Centre in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The hotel is quirky and funky, with it’s rustic style and we felt our person and our belongings were safe here. We took a taxi from the airport, but later learned there is a bus which is a mere fraction of the... More

We stayed in Bahiacafe for three nights during Carnival 2013. We got a pick up from the airport, which I really recommend - the hotel would probably be hard to locate by yourself. The staff was nice, rooms were clean and simple with no extra fuss. Breakfast was also surprisingly good. The location was also good, since there is a... More
