Loved the breakfast and the hospitable staff. The location was perfect to access Carnival. Lots of security and felt safe. If you're a light sleeper, you'll hear Carnival music in your room until 6am daily. Lol.

The staff was very respectful, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and patient. There was a language barrier, so I could not use the phone in my room. The front desk staff used a translation service on their cell phones to assist me. They even assisted me with one issue that had nothing to do with the hotel. They were available to me every day for assistance. I felt I was calling on them too often, but they insisted on helping me. All the other staff was also excellent...room cleaners, restaurant, front door, etc.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is old. The staff did not speak any english so we had to translate everything. The room had no view and that was one of the reasons we chose the hotel. The food was not great. They did not accommodate a request to change rooms. The room had a smell to it that we had to endure during the stay. I do not recommend this hotel if you want to have a great experience in Salvador.

A localização é perfeita para sair para caminhar na orla e de uber tudo também fica sempre barato pros principais pontos turísticos. A vista da piscina é impagável. A limpeza do hotel em si é boa mas o dia que solicitei limpeza no meu quarto não fizeram. O funcionário do café da manhã (da tapioca) era excelente, no geral os funcionários são prestativos, acho que são poucos pois o hotel é imenso e estava cheio então algumas coisas acabam demorando. Percebe-se que é um hotel mais antigo e precisa de manutenção em alguns lugares mas no geral foi uma otima estadia. Coloquem mais ganchos nos quartos para pendurar as roupas molhadas da praia.
