“In need of restauration, cleaning, and not worth the money”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

+ if you are on the ocean side, it is quiet and all you hear is the ocean
+/- buffet in the restaurant is ok and tasty, though the presentation and especially the worn down dining area are a downside
+/- location is what you can see on any map, not in the center wich means you pay for the taxi, but it is quiet
- in need of restauration, some work being done, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Rooms, communal areas are run down
- no access to the beach, and no beach worth mentioning either
- pool are is relatively small
- definetly not woth the money

“No complains”

Used the hotel for a trip to Morro de Sao Paulo , and liked. A little decay,but in a nice location ( ask for an ocean view). Breakfast very fatty but with a lot of fruits. I recommend the restaurant Amado near the marina in cidade baixa, very expensive but almost flawless!

“No complaints”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

Stayed a weekend here while visiting Salvador with friends. The hotel is clean, modern and has a nice breakfast in the morning. We even had dinner there the night we checked in because we were all so tired from the flight. It was actually very good. Staff was helpful and we had a pleasant stay. We had booked because the hotels we wanted in the old town didn’t have enough rooms to accommodate us all.

The only downside I can see is the location, you’re going to have to take a taxi to any sights in Salvador. However, I read some reviews about how sketchy the old town gets after dark, so maybe that’s actually an upside.

“Not worth the price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

The hotel in general is declining as well. In the days I spent there, they were making small improvements. However, much more is needed. Cleanliness was not the best. Good breakfast and beautiful view. Frankly, not worth the price they charge. By visiting the "pelourinho", do not miss eating at garden of delights (Jardim das delicias), a must see restaurant.

“take care of hotel taxi”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

I stayed in this hotel. I can tolerate every thing but the thing that I could not stand it was at the date of check out on 16 August at the morning. I was hurry to catch my flight . I used to take the taxi with 50-60 Reis from Ondina to the airport. The bellman of the hotel got me taxi waiting outside number AZ0456 Salvador Taxi. I asked him to switch the taxi meter. He did. Instead he transverse through the city he passed along the beach as the public bus does.I told him that I am hurry but he ignored me. Not only this but he go along the northern coast and access the main road of the airport from its right side and he took 45 min while I normally took 20-30 min which risked losing my flight and invoiced me 80 Reis!!!!!!!!!.I advise everybody to take the public bus .It is 2.5 Reis. The station is after the parking of the airport. It is 50 meter from the airport. It is more safe. the buses go every point in the city. Avoid the taxi called by bellman as I think it is involve commission between him and drivers!!!!!!!!
