May 11, 2023 Darwin Bolte

Brazil's former capital is renowned for its African-influenced cuisine, music and architecture. Known as "the Capital of Joy," because of its exuberant week-long Carnaval celebrations, Salvador brims with contemporary music and art amid architecture that has gone untouched since the 17th century.

The best hotel in Salvador

Reviewed By Curious35437315592

I was here with my wife, we had a lovely time. During the day we enjoyed the pool area with really nice music and happy people. All people working is really nice and service minded, specially Luciano Brito. We got a lot of support and recommendations about drinks, food from him. At night we went to the restaurant and they had live music that was really good. Next year we will come back with our family. As they also have a lot of activities for children. I can highly recommend this hotel!

Very good hotel with an excellent location in Salvador, in the middle of the fashionable Vitoria neighborhood of the city. Service, including room service, is attentive and efficient. The hotel has parking and it is moderately priced.

Terrible Hotel

Reviewed By Henry W

Hotel is old and it is falling apart, from the faced to the service. Bathroom needs deeply cleaning and repairs urgently. It is disgustingly! Felt hotel does not offer level of comfort and service they charge for. Be honest and don’t overcharge for something you cannot offer.

Honestly, the customer service is absolutely amazing! I needed to get a private room to get my hair and makeup done with my mom and sister for my Baby’s christening and they did not hesitate to help me on this. I would love to thank Mario, Carla and Ramon for being so helpful and kind. All the staff were very gentle and friendly with us. The hotel has also a beautiful location. I would definitely be back.

Hotel in a good location but a disappointing beach

Reviewed By geoffreyk142

This hotel is good and has a very good buffet breakfast and I also enjoyed the evening buffet there. However, the beach which the hotel overlooks is difficult to access and also has a large building site next to it. The wifi is shocking and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it exists. In the rooms it keeps cutting out and in the restaurant it is not available at all in some parts

Unpleseant staff and one of the worst hotel breakfasts I've ever had

Reviewed By ps4gamer

My stay at this low budget hotel wasn't pleasant at al. The rooms are nice enough for what you pay for. The room I was given was at the top floor and for whatever reason the lift does not go all the way up there, so I had to get off one flooer before mine then carry two large suitcases up 2 flights of stairs. Annoying but not the worst part of my stat. In my room there was a power switch in my room and hummed the whole night and made it difficult to sleep. That is very unusual in my opinion. The breakfast was absolutely vile. I don't mind a simple breakfast but a disgusting one? The coffee was diabolical and they kept running out of things all the time and it would take ages for the staff to replenish the items. The absolute worst part of how unfriendly and unhelpful all but one of the receptionists were. A young man that the morning shift has a very arrogant attitude and could. The girls were less obnoxious but equally unhelpful and seemingly apathetic. The only staff member that was trained to be courteous and helpful was a really nice guy that I can't remember the name that worked the night shift. One thing to be aware of is that they don't have a storage room to keep luggage in case you have a late flight and need to go somewhere else to kill time until your flight. I left my luggage at reception and they just left it there which made me very nervous as Salvador is an extremely dangerous city. I would not recommend this hotel to any one.

The irresistible charm of Bahia Othon Palace begins with its location: the top of a cliff, facing the turquoise waters of Ondina Beach in Salvador. Perfectly integrated with nature, with colonial arches, the hotel offers the utmost sophistication and comfort.

Sleep to waves crashing

Reviewed By S1PRA

I agree with other guests, it is extremely well located. You can go for a walk or run on a beautiful oceanic view avenue. I will add that with just opening your window, you´ll be sleeping with the fantastic sound of waves crashing all night long. Very quiet also. Nicely priced services, not so expensive for a hotel of this kind.
