This little cafe hostel was our first stop on a 3 month tour of south America. Unfortunately our luggage did not make it with us but the staff at the hotel were super helpful and phoned the airport hourly to chase it down and it arrived the next morning (few). Breakfast here is excellent and the rooms spacious and clean.... More

It is an excellent boutique hotel, right on Praca da Se. Cannot find a better location. You are a 2 minute walk from the Lacerda Elevador, 1 minute from Terreiro de Jesus, and 2 minutes away from the Praca da Se bus terminus. They have installed air-conditioning over the last 2 years, so it was very comfortable. There is no... More

This is a real gem of a hotel, located right in the heart of the Pelhourino a minute's walk from the elevator. Its been lovingly restored by the owner, Michel who is a great guy, helpful and friendly. Andre is wonderful on reception - its hard to find people in Salvador that speak good English so this was a godsend... More

I booked into this boutique hotel/coffee bar after a really bad experience in Salvador. It was a breath of fresh air. The owner Michelle was wonderful, the rooms are exceptional and the linen/towels are fresh and of good quality. Right in the heart of the Old Town, Pelourinho, its a bussy night life, 10 minutes to the beaches of Barra... More

Decent place, a bit overpriced for being right next to the ghetto. You're right at one of the main squares, which by itself is not very loud, but you will get ZERO sleep thanks to the neighbors across the alley, who are constantly yelling to each other -- as well as the row of stereo equipment shops right outside your...

L'hotel est bien au centre du Pelourinho, il est tenu par un Belge très sympa et courageux. Les chambres sont magnifiquement décorées, très propres et modernes avec une clim silencieuse et un grand ventilo. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux et le propriétaire est très prévenant. Je vous le recommande. More

The hotel is in located off the main plaza in the old town area. It is beautifully refurbished with reclaimed wood and local artisan crafts. The hotel staff is knowledgeable and friendly and the breakfast spread was fantastic. The rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean and modern. The owner is an expat from Belgium that clearly takes pride in the... More

The rooms and the location are nice enough, but the effort obviously put into restoring the beautiful old colonial house is not matched by the day to day organisation. There was intermittent hot water in the shower and the TV didn't work. We were told breakfast was served from 7am, got up early to find that there were no staff... More
