My daughter and I went for Christmas vacatin and stayed for 8 days. We found a good room, a very good restaurant which served very good breakfast and snacks. The view from the pool was amazing, and the staff was helpful. The only problem we had was languge, people not only at the hotel but everywhere only spoke Portuguese so... More

We had a good time in this golden tulip hotel. Big rooms and, a very nice restaurant/breakfast area with view ons the city. The swimming pool was also very nice, even in the evening our kids of 8 , 15 and 18 years old enjoyed the swimming pool. At night, the view on the city, from the top of building... More

There are no other words to describe this hotel, but OLD! And being this old, I think its very expensive ! This is one of those traditional, and historic hotels you find in any touristic city, that is kept as intact as posible. The Hotel is very well located on a hill, on the Red river district, with an amazing... More

The hotel has a stunning roof top view of the ocean but the rest of the hotel feels pretty 70's and was unremarkable. Not bad for a temp stay, but on this trip I also stayed at the nearby Mercure hotel which for the same price is quite modern and has even better ocean access and upscale feel.

We booked 10days in this hotel but only stayed 1 night. The lobby is huge and when we arrived (eastern week) there were many people checking in and out, it almost felt like a hospital lobby. The pool was closed for renovation or maintenance and the whole place is very oldish and needs renovation to be called a luxury hotel.... More

A lot of food, including local food (tapioca is delicious) with , again, a great view. Bad: The pool bar was closed the 4 times I went there (usually... More

We stayed at the Golden Tulip for two nights in December 2011. Golden Tulip it wasn't, it would be more accurate to call it the Withered Corm. It was a massive disappointment. I suppose we had been spoiled by coming directly from the fabulous Das Cataratas at Iguacu and we knew from Trip Advisor reviews and ratings not to expect... More

This hotel was booked by SouthAmerica.travel. I traveled to Rio, Iguacu and Salvador, and this hotel was part of that tour. I had a standard room which did not have a view of the ocean, and I tried to upgrade, but they said all the rooms were filled. So I had to take an elevator down to a lower level... More

My husband and I visited Salvador de Bahia as part of a 3-week South America trip. We do not speak Portuguese and had never been to Brazil, so it was very important to us that the hotel staff speak English. We relied on the hotel staff for tourist information and advice on how to navigate the city. Also, it was... More
