Rooms are cute, stylished and clean with some terraces. The breakfast is delicious with local discoveries every day. In addition it is perfectly located. Most important thing: the staff and the owner are wonderful, smiling,... More

The place was nice, the owner (French) very friendly as well as the staff. The breakfast was the greatest we had in Brazil, with lots of choice. The place is very clean. The bathrooms were like private bathrooms, which I really appreciated, and we did not have to queue as it was low season and the dorms were rather empty... More

Staff members are very nice and friendly, especially Amelia been very helpful during the stay. The location is ideal because of nearby Beach. It's nice place to stay with family members or for a couple on vacations. Buffet Breakfast was good too.

Lovely Pousada! Extremely friendly staff that makes you feel home. Good location closed to the beach, restaurants, supermarket and bus stops. The pousada is very clean and safe. Excellent breakfast buffet. If some day I come back to Salvador (cross fingers ;)), I will stay here again. Thanks a lot to the Ambar team for this great time in Salvador
