1 Aram Yamí Hotel

Small but very pleasant. Everybody super helpful and friendly! Great place to stay in Salvador.
3 Hotel Catharina Paraguaçu



images
Fantastic place by its location, architecture and poetry. The photos of its rebuild in the hall is a very humanitarian museum of conservative measures to save old buildings. They pictured the workers doing their contributions. The antique air in the halls and buildings brings a colonial style to life.
4 Zank by Toque Hotel



images
This hotel is good! Great location, attractive public rooms, comfortable and spacious bedrooms and bathrooms very nice, attentive service, excellent listener, good breakfasts and probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Well done to all concerned!
Street is safe and reception gave me some local tips and also safe advice ..( do be carefull with the cellphone and also do avoid some streets)!
Only default is a sign in front the door because i forgot my room number or on the card.
Nice location
5 Pousada Pedra da Concha



images
My family of 7 stayed here in 2007. Service was excellent. The rooms were clean and adequately furnished. I especially remember the public areas being beautiful, open to well-tended gardens that were gorgeous. No English was spoken by any of the staff at that time. We could walk around in the neighborhood, to a bakery, a restaurant, to catch a bus to the city. Breakfast food choices were plentiful in a clean, beautiful, relaxed atmosphere.
6 Hotel Villa Bahia



images
Best Staff in the World. They went above and beyond. The hotel is absolutely Beautiful in an Amazing Location. I Loved it.
7 Casa Petunia Pousada Boutique



images
An incredible house PETUNIA is in the lighthouse area, close to the beaches, but hidden from the noise of the streets. The place where you want to return, the caring reception of the owners, the care and kindness of the staff and the friendliness of a cat who considers herself a dog and, a dog who considers himself man's best friend. The largest and most comfortable beds and breakfasts(ask for Cuscus de tapioca in coconut’s milk) in Salvador !!! Can’t wait to come back. We left our hearts there!!
Place blessed by all the bay’s Saints!!
для русских соотечественников: не просто как проживание, а часть идентичности Сальвадора. Поляну накроют, и на путь истинный по Баии направят.
8 Iara Beach



images
Great location and rooms.. but restaurant quality is really poor and price is high plus the 10% service that does not exist.. one person doing everything taking ages to serve. Tip: Stay but go out for food
9 Casa do Amarelindo



images
Nice and very authentic place.
Right in the heart of historical center.
And yeas the suite has the largest bed I’ve ever seen in my life!
Breakfast is good and very abandoned.
Guys who run the place are helpful and available.
- pool area is very, very tiny.
- need some soundproofing.. all night was annoyed with the moaning from the next room
10 Studio do Carmo Boutique Hotel



images
Great boutique hotel in Pelourinho - you will feel like a carioca there! The room is large and clean. The owner very nice and full of good advises. Go for it!
12 Hotel Pousada Salvador Paradise



images
Really only for a stay over before fly, but a very good one at that. Gives a little of an outside feel which is not common for airport hotels and pool is nice to cool off (mostly for the kids)
13 Casa da Vitória



images
Two years ago, my husband and I spent a week in this lovely place. Well located, fully furnished, well-appointed and the magic of this place is Denis Carla. She made every day so special for us, she took care of us as a friend would do. Great stay!
15 Pousada Villa Tropicale



images
Wonderful place to stay. The staff is courteous. The breakfast is simple but tasty. The site is quiet nighttime and close to beach. There are stores and restaurants nearby.
16 B&B JPA Casa Anselmo



images
Sr. Franco, dono do lugar, é maravilhoso demais, nos sentimos em casa pela receptividade e pelo ambiente acolhedor, até toalha pra maquiagem tem (detalhes que aquecem o coração). Os ambientes da casa sao muito bons e espaçosos.
17 Pousada do Pilar



images
It's a great Pousada, with nice employees and at a good location near the historic center of Salvador. The rooms at the back of the hotel offer a fabulous view of the Bahia.
18 Pousada des Arts



images
I stayed in this hotel for three weeks and it was amazing. I loved pretty much everything. The breakfast, the size of the rooms, the people at the front desk, the owner of the pousada, etc. I really felt like home there. If I had the opportunity to go back, I would not think twice to stay there.
19 Fera Palace Hotel



images
Nice hotel, everything new and stylish.
But the service... service is not for 5 star hotel. Receptionist are not very welcoming, sometimes quite sad, but may be its has to do with general lazy mood in Salvador, and they just wanna escape home
20 Villa da Praia Hotel



images
Good simple yet comfortable rooms, good food and drinks. Only minor issues were - wifi frequently cut out, occasionally slow service and the rooms had no towel rack. The location was terrific though, a great place!
