Salvador hotels near Mercado Modelo

Pros: Very charming hotel in the middle of old town

Cons: Staff is very friendly, but not all speak english

Pros: 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.

Cons: The price was quite high, but I understand that in the times of Carnaval it is normal. So I am not complaining about price, it's just a matter of fact.

Pros: Wonderful location and very charming hotel.

Cons: The breakfast could bee better

Pros: Great location. Rest of staff were good.

Cons: I found the waiting staff at breakfast time a little bit miserable and unhelpful. No toast available. On the last day the breakfast serving lady was downright rude to me and really spoilt my good experience of the hotel. Very expensive stay.

Pros: Staff were very friendly and helpfull Breakfast was very good!

Pros: 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 :)

Cons: Restaurant was closed for dinner, because there was no cook! Not cool if you want to spend a romantic evening in the hotel. Reservation of one of the tables in front of the water spring, wasn't possible, because that part of the restaurant is closed for dinner time.

Pros: 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.

Cons: First we were put in the tiniest little room you can imagine, named St Tome & Príncipe. With low ceilings and a very small bathroom you could hardly move around the bed, not to talk about opening suitcases, putting your stuff down or sitting around. It was a very claustrophobic experience. And although the room has a secluded terrace, sitting outside was not an option either because of the heat. We obviously asked for a room swap but as the hotel was fully booked we had to spend two nights in this tiny space. Unfortunately that made our stay quite disappointing.

Pros: Best Hotel in Bahia! Location No 1! Interior Design No 1! Service and Food No 1!

Pros: Superb location. The best breakfasts of our trip. Lovely bedrooms. Very good restaurant. Really, really recommend it.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: extremely helpful front staff was excellent for recommendations on food, tourism, and local events.....specifically, "Jefferson" was amazing!

Cons: nothing......loved it all and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the historic part of Salvador

Pros: Beautiful antique colonial design, very large room (luxury room), staff very helpful.

Cons: Wireless Internet didn't work in the room because of some kind of special security protocol on the second floor only. Had to go to reception area to connect with a normal protocol. Internet being very important to me, I had to change hotels, since the hotel staff didn't really understand what to do.

Pros: Friendly staff, antique type furnishings, excellent location in the most picturesque part of Salvador, delicious breakfast. Good wifi connection.

Cons: Occasional loud music from outside, although not fault of hotel. Somewhat dim lights in room.

Pros: The location and ambience of the Hotel Villa Bahia are exceptional. The rooms are large and elegant and one feels as if they are truly living a moment in the past...but with very comfortable ammenities! The staff is multi-lingual and very helpful. I enjoyed the first moment of our stay to the last! Awesome, truly!

Pros: The Hotel Villa Bahia is housed in what was originally two adjoining houses one XVII century the other XVIII century. It is beautifully furnished with antiques and antique copies.
