Location in the city center, staff always super friendly, clean and nice colonial interior design, small pool is perfect for cooling down in the hot afternoon, breakfast was great :)

I have chosen this particular hotel for it's closeness to the ACMB capoeira Academy, where I have participated in the ACMB event. Besides, it did fully correspond to my comfort requirements. The breakfast was perfect for me, the bathroom,the size of the room - all was perfect. The Staff was friendly and very helpful, and they did assist me with keeping my luggage in the hotel when I was away for some days.

Once a bigger room got free the staff helpfully moved us. That new one, named Calicut, was more than twice(!) the size of the previous one. A completely different experience, then we could enjoy the charm, magic and 350 years of history of Villa Bahia.

I loved everything. The hotel is divine. * Gorgeous building, thoughtfully renovated to a high standard. * Location is perfect, great for sightseeing. We had been worried about safety in Salvador but felt safe there. I thought it might be noisy given the location but we didn't find this to be the case despite being peak season (January) * Fantastic staff (5*), they all went above and beyond helping us arrange a guide and offering a late check-out * Bed was really comfortable and shower was great, loved that each room is unique * Breakfast was lovely (I disagree with reviews as I found it quick to arrive, plentiful and varied). The coffee was particularly delicious Thanks to everyone for a wonderful stay. We will be back for sure!

We loved the ambience, the furnishings, the courtyards, the room with private terrace and the staff who were very helpful and courteous. Good coffee and good fresh fruit was served for breakfast. The restaurant food was very nice, but prepare to wait for a while.

Some hotels just get it absolutely right. This is one of them. In all the time I've reviewed hotels on booking.com I've only ever awarded ten twice. This is the third. This hotel is a labour of love. Meticulously refurbished building with style throughout, from the names of the rooms after Portuguese colonies, the pieces of furniture, the decor, the small indoor courtyard for breakfast, the breakfast itself (wow, the tapioca, the papaya, the eggs), the engagement, friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff, the perfectly-formed small roof terrace, the location in the heart of the colonial area of Salvador, I could go on. This hotel was a pleasure to stay in and it's not that expensive either. Just stay here!

Beautiful and charming hotel, great view from roof terrace, excellent location, fabulous breakfast

Unique Hotel in the historic center of Salvador. It’s a good starting point to discover the city. If you take a taxi or an Uber other places like Barra are also not too far. Staff is super friendly, rooms are huge and food is good!

Beautiful hotel, extremely helpful staff, great central location

Beautiful property in excellent location. Rooms were stunning and the place has a great feel to it.
