A cozy Pousada in the center of Salvador, very close to the Pelourino. We were on the first floor in a room with view on the sea. The rooms are clean and nice with Air Condition. The Breakfast is very good and you can have it on a wonderful terrace on the sea. In the evening there are near a... More

Located in historical side of town, so good for sight seeing. This isn't a hotel with too many luxuries. It is just a cosy bed and breakfast. The rooms are spacious and very well maintained! They have around 2 laptops which you can use if you want to check email etc (free of cost). Loved the breakfast floor which had... More

This charming pousada in a quiet street has clever designed rooms. Most rooms have lovely balconies with a great bayview. The staff is very kind and helpful, most speak English. And they offer all day long excellent coffee in their beautiful, spacious lobby. Wifi works fine and is free. The good (basic) breakfast is served at the rooftop with an... More

Speaking as an experienced world traveler and a repeat visitor to Brazil, I found the Pousada do Pilar to be one of the worst stays I've had anywhere on the planet. Not because of the accommodations, which were better than average, or because of the location, which was okay though not spectacular. I'm white and my girlfriend is black. I... More

I remained for almost a week at Pousada do Pilar with my wife while traveling in my honeymoon. The stay was good, the staff is very polite and helpful, they gave us lots of tips about where to go and how to go. Even Pelourinho is not a quiet and clean place to be, it's a postal card from Salvador.... More

When travelling I'm happy if my accommodation offers three basic things: a comfortable bed to have a good rest, a clean decent bathroom to clean up, and a good breakfast to start the day the right way. If the place is nice and well located, that's a plus but not a requirement. The bed I had in this pousada was... More

Thouroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pilar. Can recomend without hesitation. The rundown; The Pelourinho is the ancient part of the city and is in the process of being restored. The Pilar has been completely redone and is gorgeous. The drive through the Pelourinho made me nervous at first but I was completly won over after being there only a... More

This small hotel is just a short walk from the Pelourinho, and there are two local 'squares' with their own street cafes, all very friendly. We were welcomed by the reception staff, who spoke good English, and taken to our room which had a terrace with a bay view. Clever planning of the space fits two comfortable ensuite rooms next... More
