The hotel is very close to the old city center. The staff is very friendly and gave us good advice where to go. Room very clean. The good breakfast was served outside on the terrace. Nice swimming pool with view on the old city of Salvador. Some evenings, you hear a lot of music from the Pelhourinho. Would go back... More

It is so close to the warm vibe of the old city center of Salvador de Bahia! The view from the patio is like rainbow of old monuments, from old city center! Claudio the manager help us to figure out how to gaze the city but as soon he pin point out all the avoided place, I started to worry.... More

We stayed there for 2 nights. We chose the hotel because of the proximity to the old city. That was indeed true but the neighbourhood is pretty rundown. Was very uncomfortable in walking in the evening. The hotel was okay but the staff were excellent. Helped us a lot in trying to find the safest route for walking as well... More

Claudio the front desk manager was very helpful in telling me where to go, where to eat and arranging tours, he was also very helpful in recommending where I should travel next. The Pousada is very well located across the street from the old city of Salvador. The rooms were clean and air conditioned and the view from there is... More

Avoid this hotel at all costs. We had a confirmed booking with the hotel. They overbooked but failed to attempt to find alternative accommodation which they are required to do. The hotel shows no compassion towards its guests. There is no concept of customer service at all.

We highly appreciated our stay at this pousada. Before our stay we were already contacted by Claudio, the manager, asking us for our room preferences. Claudio turned out a perfect host, who took time to give us precious advice on the cultural activities going on that week and developing some options. By following his suggestions we had some amazing insights!... More

We stayed at the Pousada da Mangueira for three nights at the start of our Brazil vacation ($116/night, high season) because we wanted a place that was convenient for exploring the historic Pelourinho district. After reading other reviews, I had trouble visualizing where the pousada was relative to the Pelourinho, so I will try to describe it here. The Pelourinho... More

I stayed in the Pousada for 7 nights. I was due to stay 14 nights but I left early as I found the area to be very noisy. Some noise was great. Such as hearing samba drumming groups rehearse in the heart of Pelhourino. But my room overlooked a busy road with bars playing loud music, cars revving up the... More

Location was excellent being central to old town centre and yet not so close that the vast amount of live music was annoying when in the room. Claudio and George were excellent, really going out of their way to ensure you get the most of your trip to Salvador and the surrounding area - even when their is no profit... More
