This family run hotel exceeded our expectations.We loved staying in this historic section of Salvador.Rooms were spacious and clean.Well worth the extra cost to have a balcony and sea view.Exceptional breakfast.The hotel is loving decorated with art.The owners were extremely helpful and were always willing to recommend a museum to visit and would often draw a map.Highly recommend .

We chose to stay in the Solar do Carmo because we wanted a different experience having stayed in some ordinary tower block type hotels. We weren't disappointed. It is located in a street of partly renovated colonial houses and even though the area appears a little run down you get a great surprise when you enter the main lobby. It... More

Hhaving to overnight in Salvador en route from Morro de Sao Paulo to Amsterdam we chose this place as being near the historic centre. It did not disappoint. Friendly welcome, knowledgeable host. Really varied and good breakfast. Lovely balcony with superb views provided you look beyond the dock area! Very nice and spacious room. A bit noisy at night as... More

Short walk from the town centre (old quarters) is a cute and cosy boutique hotel with tidy and bright room. The hotel staff was very friendly and useful. They even advised us which road to avoid at night. The pool is a little small (more like a jacuzzi) but was very relaxing.

Flavia sits down with each guest individually upon arrival, and describes what to do and where to go in Pelourinho and Salvador, tells you where are the best spots to go and how to find them. It's valuable information, because Salvador can be... More

We stayed three nights on different occasions, and have mixed feelings about this hotel. The host, Flavia, was fantastic; she spoke English and made a huge effort to give us information about how to enjoy Salvador. The decor was special with many fine individual local paintings. Breakfast was good. However, no lift (though they do aim to help with luggage);... More

Situated within the historic quarters of old Salvador this is a converted old mansion that comes with superb service. While the rooms are basic, they are clean with sheets and pillows in pristine condition. The owners have instilled the ethos of a warm welcome and service with a smile in all their staff and each one will try their best... More

We arrived in Salvador on a Sunday evening during a tropical rainstorm! Our room was on the top floor of this quaint little pousada in the backstreets of Salvador. That meant a climb up three flights of spiral stairs with heavy suitcases (fortunately a very nice member of staff helped us). The room was very nice and overlooked the docks... More
