We were there for 3 nights, end of december. The hotel is very good situated (in the middle of the old town, perfect for sightseeing!)
There is no lobby or bar just a little front desk - but we didn't missed'it at all. The hotel and room was clean, the interior very nice in old-modern-bahian style. The staff was very kind and helpful. You can fill out the breakfast order with all wished things and the breakfast will be brought and served in to the room (it was excellent!) There is a big choice of restaurants, bars, shops and tourist atractions around, all by walking distance. There is a possibility to book a sightseeing-tour trought a tour operator right in the next buillding; the tour was interesting and we can recommend'it even we have to appologise about the bad organisation.
Even we heard about safety problems in Salvador, we had no bad experiences, probably becuase of tourist-police presence. However, you have to keep your eyes open and don't walk around by night.
Summing up, Solar dos deuses was a great place and we've enjoyied our stay there!
