Great hotel, great location, great breakfast, great service. For the price, they should have bottled water everyday and a kettle and or coffee maker in the room. The twin beds are small! Almost cruise ship small. Our room could have had a desk. WiFi, at least from our room has horrendous.

Great historic property updated for a cozy stay. It was beautiful, comfortable and staff was great. The pool, though beautiful, was quite small and seemed unusable -- it looked like a mosquito haven of still water!

Fantastic location in centre of historic town, and very safe to walk about in the evening, which is an issue as a few blocks away from the centre it can be sketchy. The hotel itself was a sight of its own, as it is the former home of a sugar trade businessman, and it has beautiful pieces of that era while being beautifully restored. The breakfast in the terrace were delicious. The staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The only place we would stay in Salvador.

Excellent location. It is a well preserved old building. You hear the church bells toll and the beautiful music from the local artists who play on the street. It gets quiet at 9:30 or 10:00.

Wonderful kind service, everyone on the property from Marilene in the dining room to everyone at the front desk made me feel cared for and like I was staying at someone’s beautiful home because they treated me like a friend they cared about. When I was sick the hotel staff checked in on me and made sure I had tea. I am so grateful I was near such wonderful people while I recovered from my travel bug I got along the way. I think the colonialism theme of the hotel is the only downside, gives a dark vibe and feels pretty unoriginal. The hotel could easily be maintained as is but drop the intense colonialism elements and that would be refreshing. Good breakfast and pool looked super cute even though I didn’t swim.

Pelourinho is the central area of Salvador, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The hotel is in the centre of Pelourinho, what can be better. Everything is within 3-10 min walk. Sometimes outside sounds come through but those are church bells or local talented musicians, pleasant to hear that authenticity. The hotel is in a historic building, once in you feel centuries old cultural spirit, truly inspiring. The era of Portuguese geographical discoveries. Beautifully decorated hotel, with meticulous attention to every historic detail. At the same time modern amenities are there as well so the rooms are very comfortable, nice and clean. Small swimming pool is a relief after hot walk. Rooftop area gives good views of central part of the city. Staff members take care of every visitor. Really enjoyed my stay in this historic hotel. Thanks a lot.
