We stayed for 6 days in this lovely hotel at the fringes of the historic Pelhourinho (just a few minutes' walk). The area is more quiet and feels safer than the Pelhourinho and can be reached quickly from the lower city (with bus connections!) by a historic inclined elevator. This stylish and very tastefully decorated building realizes a high quality... More

I cannot recommend this lovely hotel highly enough! We stayed for two nights, one night on each side of a trip to Morro de Sao Paolo, and really was very sad to leave and not to have had more time to explore and soak up the wonderful atmosphere of Salvador. The Redfish has been extensively renovated and is probably one... More

Having read Michael Palins book on Brazil, I think its fair to say that there can possibly be no better endorsement than from the great traveller himself.

The hotel is beautifully decorated, the walls adorned with painitngs by the owner himself, Charles Butler, and the staff are amongst... More

We had a great stay at Pousada Redfish. The staff helped us find bus schedules for a day trip, recommended local restaurants, and even arranged for an early breaksfast so we could make our connections. Our upstairs room was large with 2 comfortable beds, and was surprisingly quiet, although we were just a short walk from the sights and restaurants... More

We were welcomed upon arrival by a very friendly young man who happily took our bags up to the 3rd floor. Our room had two large comfy beds, high ceilings and a balcony with chairs and hammock overlooking the bay and a beautiful church. Breakfast was a delicious array of pastries, fruit, yogurt and cereals. The lovely cook offers you... More
