We stayed at the Pousada da Mangueira for three nights at the start of our Brazil vacation ($116/night, high season) because we wanted a place that was convenient for exploring the historic Pelourinho district. After reading other reviews, I had trouble visualizing where the pousada was relative to the Pelourinho, so I will try to describe it here. The Pelourinho... More

I stayed in the Pousada for 7 nights. I was due to stay 14 nights but I left early as I found the area to be very noisy. Some noise was great. Such as hearing samba drumming groups rehearse in the heart of Pelhourino. But my room overlooked a busy road with bars playing loud music, cars revving up the... More

Location was excellent being central to old town centre and yet not so close that the vast amount of live music was annoying when in the room. Claudio and George were excellent, really going out of their way to ensure you get the most of your trip to Salvador and the surrounding area - even when their is no profit... More

Glauber, the manager, is super laid back, professional and helpful. Anderson, does a great job with the airport transfer and tour of the city (his price is below the competition and his professionalism is par with the best). The location of the guest house is basically on Pelourinho with a great view of many of churches and old colonial houses... More

My stay there was really enjoyable as the pousada is fantastic: nice rooms and views, clean, good breakfast... On the top of that, the owner and the staff are extremely kind and helpful, which contributes to a very friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. I am very grateful for the support they offered to me!

Very close to historic Pelourinho, with brand new and clean rooms, private bathroom. The view from the swimming pool is just lovely. Breakfeast OK and served by the pool. AC units in the rooms are quite noisy. Staff is very friendly though the ladies at the desk in the middle of the day didn't speak any english.

Stayed for two nights in December. Well located, close enough to Pelourinho (down and up a narrow steep street), just max 5 minutes walk. But away enough to spare you from the noisy nights of Pelourinho. Great if you are part of it but not so great when you actually want to sleep. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Room... More

Pousada da Mangueira is a wonderful pousada just two blocks outside of the heart of Salvador's tourist area - the Pelorinho. The Pelorinho is an artistic, cultural, musical mecca. There is music almost every night, and often during the day. Pousada da Mangueira is the perfect location to take a walk into the Pelorinho to enjoy the sights and music... More
