“Didn't expect to get sick from hotel food!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We had been quite careful of what we ate while we traveled but wanted to try palm hearts. I ended up in hospital from mishandled food in their restaurant...not what I expected. Thought you could probably trust a hotel...be careful
Otherwise Renata at the front desk was very helpful and gave us a tour of the compound (gated) including the free business center, pools etc. Most of the other staff didn't speak English but there always seemed to be at least one person on shift who did. The rooms are more like apartments with kitchens, eating areas, sofas as well as a separate bedroom and bath. We faced the ocean and overlooked the pools which was nice. The rooms are a bit older and showing signs of wear but were clean with comfortable beds.
If you are planning to tour around the city be prepared for long cab rides in crazy bumper to bumper traffic. It took at least an hour to get into town or back. Good thing is that the tours will pick you up and return you to the hotel and save you the expensive cab fair. Also, not an area for shopping, the two large malls are closer to the center.

“A Little piece of Paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2009

My partner and I stayed at Mar Brasil for 10nights. It was supposed to be 9 but due to a flight change we needed to stay an extra night, They easily made these changes for us with no problems, even got to stay in the same room. The 5 star service of the staff was fantastic, they all really went above and beyond the call of duty. Out of all the hotels I stayed at in brasil, there we're the only one's who spoke english. Next time I'm back in Salvador I'd definitely be staying there again. Congratulations to the staff, and thanks for making our holiday wonderful.

“Fine situated location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 June 2009

We stayed for only two nights on our way from Brasil to the Netherlands, Europe. The staff is very helpfull, breakfast is wel taken care off, the room was good. Free internet is a plus.
The location next to the sea is nice. The connection by public transport to the center of Salvador is easy. The commemorable location is special because the hotel used to be originally the house of the famous Brasilian writer Vinicius de Moraes.
Further more it is located close to the international Airport of Salvador de Bahia. Specially for a stopover of some days it is recommendable!

Excellent Hotel, if you want to stay in a secure and quite place, this is the place to go.
The staff are extremely friendly, the apartments are very clean with good conditions and the food (Bahia Cuisine) is very good. I will stay at the Mar Brasil Hotel again and again, and I recomend this Hotel to everyone.
