Hotel Villa Bahia

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!

It was all wonderful.

The history of the house and its location are remarkable. The breakfast is really good and the staff truly makes you feel at home

The wifi could work better

breakfast was great. I loved the woman in charge of it.

Amazing Location, hotel with a lot of charm! Loved the private balcony with the hammock. The staff kindly offered to switch our room for a bigger one since we were traveling with a baby, but that room with the balcony was sooo perfect! You can hear music from everywhere, especially during the weekend. We personally enjoyed hearing music from our balcony but be aware it might be noisy. Great breakfast, very tasty with a beautiful set up! Friendly staff, reception staff spoke many languages, including french and english. I would definitely recommend the hotel for couples, families, friends..

It was missing some plugs in the room, we had to unplug the bedside lamps to charge our cameras/phones, and that wasn't very convenient. wished they had a menu for the breakfast, especially since the staff doesn't really speak english

The hotel is a boutique hotel, located at the main street of the Pelourinho (the old center of Bahia); we were there as in the colonial time (the doors, the floors, the stairs, the decoration, etc). The restaurant is small but excellent: gourmet meals and the best of all: the caipirinhas (the typical brazilian alcoholic drink). The staff was very friendly. Everything fine.

Everything was fine.
