Salvador hotels near Praia do Porto da Barra

Pros: The location is fantastic, the food wonderful and the staff extremely friendly, helpful and obliging.

Cons: Hard to think of anything really.

Pros: Excellent staffs

Cons: Facility is dated , more like a 3 star hotel.

Pros: The location was terrific.

Cons: The room phone had terrible connection.

Pros: The staff was super nice, courteous and showing the best spirit of the famous Bahia's hospitality. The breakfast was superb, great variety and new options every day. Room is very spacious. Nice touch at check-in with a personalised card and typical sweets.

Cons: Nothing. Had a small issue communicated to the management and a solution was immediately offered. It is a family business and that's great, they have the power and independency to directly solve any issues. Corridors and bathroom/showerhead are a bit outdated, but hotel is undergoing a refurbishment.

Pros: X

Cons: Everything

Pros: Very nice hotel with good rooms and bathrooms en-suite. Clean. Very helpful staff, always friendly! Good varied breakfast. Location absolutely great!! Near the ocean, in an in general safe neighbourhood with several restaurants nearby. In 20 min. by taxi in the historic centre. Recommended!!!

Pros: Breakfast was the only good thing. there was a good variety of fruit, salty and sweet things. the lady responsible was nice and sweet.

Cons: the hotel is old and not well maintained. we were near a room that was under refurbish and there was a horrible smell of paint all around. it is true that it is in front of the beach but the area did not look safe to move around

Pros: Brilliant . I'm laying in bed watching the surf before partaking of the superb breakfast.

Pros: Very clean and right on the beach in the Barra neighborhood. Within easy walking distance of lots of shops, restaurants, the mall and a supermarket. We had a spectacular view of the beach and the lighthouse from our balcony. Breakfast each morning had a ton of options and was delicious. Staff really went above and beyond for customer service - one of our bags never made it to our destination and was stuck in the São Paulo airport, and staff helped us call the airlines multiple times to figure out the situation. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Pros: The staff were great, the situation very good, beautiful views from the room. Huge spread for breakfast

Cons: Only one small thig, the breakfast was great the the "hot dishes" were cold

Pros: The Barra beach in front of the hotel is great and the ladies who prepare the breakfast are really kind.

Cons: I asked by e-mail a calm room in front of the beach and when I arrived they gave me a horrible and noisy room with a small view to the sea. I had to pay more to have a better room.

Pros: All good.

Pros: Sorry, but I don’t like eggs

Cons: Everything went great

Pros: I like everything about This hotel, very clean, nice staffs very friends.

Pros: Brilliant breakfast. Loads of choice and Marcelo was excellent! Full of personality and very patient. Bed was huge and very comfortable. Shower was powerful and always hot. Location was great. Close to beaches and nice safe walk to lighthouse. Sauna/steam room was great but wasnt working all the time.n

Cons: Language barrier was hard at times as very few staff had any English. Marcelo was by far the best and made a fab omelette too! We were given a welcome drink voucher but we charged for the drinks upon check out. I'm putting this down to language barrier as no one could explain why we were being charged. We ordered room service one evening and it took over an hour and a half to arrive. We regretted not just going down stairs to get it ourselves. Fridge in room was quite noisy but we just plugged that out.

Pros: The rooms and the breakfast were good and the lobby was very good (spacious and well maintained). They had a viewing room for the World Cup games. The view of the beach was good.

Cons: When I booked, the booking said Wifi was available everywhere and free. When I got there it wasn't free in the rooms (only in the lobby) but I was told that since I used Booking.com (via Kayak), it would be free. I had to go every night and have them give me access to wifi in the room (instead of providing it for my 5 days in one shot). They tried to charge me for it at the end of the stay but I didn't pay for it writing a note explaining that my booking confirmation stated it was for free. The location was not too safe at night.

Pros: The breakfast was wonderful and delicious. The beddings were comfortable and smelled good.

Cons: The TV is a little bit small than what I expected.

Pros: The hotel was in an incredible location- close to beaches, an amazing view, and close to nice healthy restaurants, shops and salons. Location was quiet and private at the same time. Perfect for a getaway from the busy night life and tourism in Salvador without feeling too secluded.

Cons: Facilities need a serious upgrade to continue its status as a higher end hotel. Water should be provided complementary and 24/7 in the lobby and gym. It is a shame myself and another guest were shamed by some of the serving staff for filling our water bottles up at breakfast when that was the only time we could obtain potable drinking water without paying some outrageous fee. Air conditioning also broke and hotel staff handled the situation amazing but in the second room we were placed into, there was little differences in temperature control.

Pros: very big room ; very good shower ; very broad variety at breakfast

Cons: Gym outdated and broken equipment. Understaffed for number of guests. Services could be better for a 4 star hotel.

Pros: The location is great!

Pros: - Great restaurant that offers breakfast, lunch and diner as a buffet, with large choice of fruits, meat/fish, starters and drinks! - Great bar with relatively good coffee - Reasonable pool, not that crowded - Cleaning ladies very accomodating! - Personnel allowed me to stay in my room after check out to work before my late-night flight

Cons: - Very few personnel who speaks English... Use Google Translate!

Pros: The bed was super comfrotable and the bathroom spacious. The best part was amazing breakfast with local flavours. Some grocery stores nearby.

Cons: There's some costruction works going on, which means it can get pretty loud during the day. And the mess (plaster, paints) gets in places like halls and elevator. It's a quiet area, 2 km from the beach and the old town. Not much going on there. The staff spoke no English.

Pros: Quiet cosy bed, really delicious breakfast!

Cons: Very old and dirty rooms, no restaurants nearby, unfriendly stuff and they cant‘t speak any english - we would choose another hotel next time!

Pros: Good breakfast. Helpful staff

Cons: TOO noisy. Drilling and renovations start at 8am until about 6pm. Extremely noisy. Internet didn’t work for 2/3 days

Pros: Breakfast was nice and big for a basic hotel.

Cons: Nothing to dislike if you have the right expectation. It's a good basic hotel.

Pros: The breakfast is very nicely stocked, although it was lacking vegetarian and dairy-free options. The people at the front desk were nice, the hotel is clean. Its in a more residential area so it was nice to be away from crowds when I stayed there.

Cons: The carpet in the hallways needs to go.

Pros: Excellent location for visiting the historical area and the scenic coast.

Cons: English is not easy to use!

Pros: I liked the location and off-street parking most. The staff are also very helpful. My son loved the big beds and pillows, which were very comfortable and also great for horseplay. The water infused with pineapple, cinnamon, etc in the lobby is a very nice touch.

Cons: The renovations underway detract from the aesthetics and comfort and the breakfast room feels more like a canteen for workers than an enjoyable place to start the day.

Pros: Very clean. Helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. Great location, especially for Salvador Carnaval.

Cons: Room was a bit too small.

Pros: I love everything about it , all the staff was very nice and friendly. House kipper all of them very nice people. Front desk and restaurant.

Pros: Hotel was clean and housekeeping was immaculate. Reception staff very helpful. Hotel is located a short taxi ride from tourist area in all directions

Pros: Your staff was very friendly and helpful and the location is wonderful. I felt very safe and well looked after.

Pros: This is a great place to stay in Salvador, I would highly recommend it. The location is safe to walk around even at night as it is right by a brightly lit promenade, and during the day it is a 3 minute walk to the bus into the old town/Pelourinho. The staff are super helpful, especially Gustavo, who gave great tips for exploring Salvador. I would stay here again.

Cons: Although you get a sea view, I would actually advise against the bedrooms at the front if you're after an early and quiet night's sleep, as the great location does mean that it can be a little loud at night.

Pros: superb location at porto da Barra beach, price quality offer, confort level, wifi.

Cons: Everything ok, no special complaints.

Cons: Not clean and staff was not helping at all

Pros: Bed amazing. Stuff very helpful

Cons: Nothing to say here

Pros: Splendid location, out of season travel is just the best

Cons: A little bit seasoned infrastructure

Pros: Good location, in front of the Porto da Barra beach, friendly employees

Cons: Very overpriced because of the carnival, this hotel should not cost more then 50/60 US$, it was 300 per day !

Pros: The location was very nice, very close to the Farol da Barra and there are plenty of restaurants around.

Cons: The bathroom was smelly. Not very clean. In general the hotel needs some maintenance. The breakfast was not good. Very poor fruit options.

Pros: The location

Cons: The staff was very rude, didn’t allow us to have more than one key that they kept with them. Which means if you come back from a really hot sunny day, the room will be hot because it needs the card to be in to have the electricity on, and the ac was so weak and would take 15 minutes to strut cooling the room. Also the bathrooms are due for a renovation very old and rusty broken tools. If you come here it’s for a quick check in and go. It’s not for pleasure. Some of the (clean) bedsheets had stains on them. They don’t bother or make an effort.

Pros: Location is close to the main promanade and where the Carnival "parade" starts. Good wi-fi, comfortable bed, clean sheets, towels and bathroom. Good breakfast and very friendly staff. If the location of the hotel suits you, you should have everything you need here. More about Carnival, Salvador, Brazil and South America travel on our blog THEKCOUPLE.

Cons: Location is not close to main attractions, but if you're here for the Carnival the main "parade" starts just minutes away. We bought an access to a viewing area, kind of like a football stadium's standing places, above the street which the "parade" goes through. The place is called CAMAROCE and there are many of them. If you buy that, make sure your hotel is close to it, as we had to walk with the parade for 2 hours to reach ours, because it was at the very end. It was very expensive, but that's probably due to the Carnival. More about Carnival, Salvador, Brazil and South America travel on our blog THEKCOUPLE.

Pros: Perfect location, practical and absolutely clean. My mother and I stayed there and loved it!

Cons: You can’t cook anything in there, because there’s only a microwave and a sandwich toaster
