Salvador hotellia

Plussat: My boyfriend and I absolutely loved everything

Miinukset: There is nothing we didn’t like

Plussat: Casa Amerelindo was a splendid stay in Salvador. You are in the center of the most charming part of Pelourinho. It's like having front row seats to your anticipated show, outing, etc. Situated on a lovely street, with cute little shops, close to the square, to great restaurants and access to live music all day long. The staff were pros, kind and very attentive. As a solo traveler I felt at ease, very welcome and enjoyed my room. Highly recommend this part of town if you like being in the heart of things. And great breakfast!

Plussat: Hotel has the perfect location to historic landmarks in the Pelourinho area , great restaurants , nightlife , souvenir stores . Most friendly staff & owner that go beyond to meet our needs , we felt so pampered , & felt safe throughout our stay . Beautiful, very clean hotel with the balcony terrace .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I had the pleasure of saying at this lovely hotel for 3 nights in early October 2019 at the total cost of around R$1750, including breakfast. I had a lovely bay-facing room which was beautifully appointed and spacious, and contained a huge, double king-size bed - a little strange to get used to. Excellent bathroom facilities, with various shower options, a double sink and bidet, with generous quality linen. The hotel is beautifully decorated in all respects. It is very well situated just off the main square of Pelourinho, overlooking the beautiful bay, within easy walking distance of most sights in that part of the city. The hotel has a small but delightful pool. Breakfasts were served by hand in the lovely restaurant, the only one which I experienced as a non-buffet, with large poritons of fruit, breads, juices, eggs and cakes. I had dinner one night at the hotel which was very good; there is an extensive and unusual menu, very reasonably priced.

Miinukset: The staff were in general very helpful and friendly - and ubiquitous, perhaps overly so as there were often more than the required number of people (sometimes 3 or 4) at reception - for some reason. I met Didier, and his partner, the owners, upon arrival, and the check-in was fast and efficient; with a free drink given on the lovely roof top terrace. There was unfortunately, toward the end of my stay, one major indiscretion committed by the staff in my case. I will not recount the details here in the hope that it was a once-off offence. The hotel management is free to ask me more about this if it wishes to do so (slon@law.co.za). This is the only reason that I am not awarding the full 10/10 to this establishment.

Plussat: Really friendly staff, great restaurant and facilities. The swimming pool area is really peaceful and great to head to for a few hours after you've explored the city. The hotel is also in a great location and on the doorstep of the old town.

Plussat: The history of the house and its location are remarkable. The breakfast is really good and the staff truly makes you feel at home

Miinukset: The wifi could work better

Plussat: Some hotels just get it absolutely right. This is one of them. In all the time I've reviewed hotels on booking.com I've only ever awarded ten twice. This is the third. This hotel is a labour of love. Meticulously refurbished building with style throughout, from the names of the rooms after Portuguese colonies, the pieces of furniture, the decor, the small indoor courtyard for breakfast, the breakfast itself (wow, the tapioca, the papaya, the eggs), the engagement, friendliness and helpfulness of all the staff, the perfectly-formed small roof terrace, the location in the heart of the colonial area of Salvador, I could go on. This hotel was a pleasure to stay in and it's not that expensive either. Just stay here!

Miinukset: It was all wonderful.

Plussat: The hotel is a boutique hotel, located at the main street of the Pelourinho (the old center of Bahia); we were there as in the colonial time (the doors, the floors, the stairs, the decoration, etc). The restaurant is small but excellent: gourmet meals and the best of all: the caipirinhas (the typical brazilian alcoholic drink). The staff was very friendly. Everything fine.

Miinukset: Everything was fine.

Plussat: breakfast was great. I loved the woman in charge of it.

Plussat: Beautiful and charming hotel, great view from roof terrace, excellent location, fabulous breakfast

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Amazing Location, hotel with a lot of charm! Loved the private balcony with the hammock. The staff kindly offered to switch our room for a bigger one since we were traveling with a baby, but that room with the balcony was sooo perfect! You can hear music from everywhere, especially during the weekend. We personally enjoyed hearing music from our balcony but be aware it might be noisy. Great breakfast, very tasty with a beautiful set up! Friendly staff, reception staff spoke many languages, including french and english. I would definitely recommend the hotel for couples, families, friends..

Miinukset: It was missing some plugs in the room, we had to unplug the bedside lamps to charge our cameras/phones, and that wasn't very convenient. wished they had a menu for the breakfast, especially since the staff doesn't really speak english

Plussat: Unique Hotel in the historic center of Salvador. It’s a good starting point to discover the city. If you take a taxi or an Uber other places like Barra are also not too far. Staff is super friendly, rooms are huge and food is good!

Miinukset: Because it’s at the touristic center it can get a bit loud in the rooms from the noise outside, but it’s not too bad.

Plussat: Very comfortable and nice. New rooms !

Plussat: It did it’s job.

Miinukset: Too much meat and heavy food. Very little emphasis on fresh vegetables and fresh ingredients. Far too unhealthy overall.

Plussat: The best hotel in Salvador. I can not give one negative point. The renovation was perfect done

Plussat: Breakfast and facilities are great. The Hotel has something for everyone, especially families.

Plussat: Beautiful pool area and garden. Polite staff. We were allowed a very early check in.

Miinukset: The first room we got had a weird smell and we asked to change, the second room was better but still had some weird smell. The hotel is a bit old and apart from the pool area it doesnt look like a 5 star hotel but a very average 4 star. Breakfast is the same eveey day, i would expect some changes from a hotel branded as a 5 star. Itapua is not the nicest area to stay.

Plussat: Staff is amazing, room very comfortable and very good breakfast.

Miinukset: A little bit of loud noise coming from the street, in special at night, as hotel is located in an area of active night life.

Plussat: The staff is very helpful and friendly and the hotel is charming.

Miinukset: The property is in Pelhourinho which is beautiful, but not safe. There’s a lot of police around, but this does not prevent unpleasant accidents from happening...

Plussat: A lovely hotel right in the old part of Salvador. The hotel has a very authentic look but at the same time has all the facilities you expect from a good hotel

Miinukset: My room was on the top floor meaning it had perfect views but I found the stairs a bit trying.

Plussat: The hotel is gorgeous, clean and unique. There is no mimics here and nothing too try hard. The breakfast was fantastic..so good we never eat lunch during our stay in Salvador. The rooms have aircon and a fan so sleeping at night was easy. Comfy big bed and beautiful wooden shutters onto the juliet balcony. Felt very safe within the hotel as the staff are on reception 24hrs (despite feeling safe throughout Brazil anyway). Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Miinukset: There was nothing my partner and I didn't like.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful stuff.

Plussat: If you want to stay in the old city of Salvador, in the middle of buildings of the colonial Brazil, this is the perfect place. The hotel is in an old building but totally renovated with clean and cozy rooms. We liked a lot.

Miinukset: Need to have attention in the hotel surroundings at night, specially after 11pm. But you will be fine, just need to take some extra care.

Plussat: Location to main square. Very friendly and helpful staff. They helped me with booking all the tours in the city. Especially at the reception, Claudio.

Plussat: The location is perfect and the rooms are nice and with a good view.

Miinukset: The only thing that I didn't like was that was no hot water in the bathroom. I don't know if it's like this always or there was some problems, but nobody explained us anything about It.

Plussat: Nice and comfy rooms with a beautiful view of the historic center, breakfast was good, staff helpful, we felt secure, would stay here again

Miinukset: The seating area for breakfast was a bit too small for all the guests (we probably went to eat all at the same time)

Plussat: Very well located, walking distance to the pelourinho.

Plussat: Great view over old town, nice breakfast selection, good caipirinhas

Miinukset: If you do not speak Portuguese some of the employees might ignore you or react unpolite. Had 1-2 situations like that during our stay

Plussat: Location is perfect and reception is great too

Miinukset: The bed could be more comfy

Plussat: Location close to historic center.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I loved the breakfast. Plentiful and diverse, with different dishes every day. The staff was attentive and answered all my questions. Finally, the social areas (swimming pool in particular) were big and welcoming.

Miinukset: The complex in itself seems old-fashioned. The rooms have the typical 80's architecture, and it has not been renovated in a long time. The control panel (that other reviewers like) was pretty annoying with the light during the night. While I was there, the complex was in the process of repainting some of the areas, which means that some parts were a bit difficult to access. These were not major issues, yet they do weight when I get a top-tier hotel.

Plussat: Pool and food

Miinukset: Staff, hotel is old

Plussat: Nice rooms and very good breakfast.

Plussat: Good value for money, but also too cheap to be true. Nice breakfast Good view Big room

Miinukset: Super outdated, zero investment in the renovation Cleanliness is not perfect

Plussat: The breakfast is regional and with good variety. The staff is friendly.

Miinukset: The check-in is too bureaucratic. I'd prefer fill my data by my own, instead of answer questions. The hotel is nice, but need a modernization. The things seems a bit run down. The bed could be king size, the double bed it's just too small.

Miinukset: bugs everywhere

Plussat: Piscina, breakfast and employees

Miinukset: Tudo otimo

Plussat: The rooms and the pool are excellent, the panel at the bedside to control the lights, sound and aircon was a bonus

Miinukset: The taxis at the hotel are too expensive, we just used uber

Miinukset: They were fruit bugs everywhere the two time I stayed there

Plussat: Great location, safe, many restaurants within walking distance, great views, nice pool and gym. Great breakfast! One of the best we have had in our many trips to Brazil

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: The staff was excellent (super friendly) There was real natural fruit juice in the morning made by Mauricio . You could order certain foods 24 hr and have it delivered to your room.

Miinukset: Nothing against the hotel but against the restaurants among the vicinity - I ate in one of the restaurants and suffered food poisoning. I recommend everyone to eat in the hotel and avoid eating at local eateries

Plussat: Very good breakfast

Miinukset: Access to the beach but can’t really swim there

Plussat: Super clean and great staff. Amazing pool.

Miinukset: A shame that there was no drinking water provided in the rooms and the bathroom is fine but starting to look a bit old

Plussat: The view was wonderful

Miinukset: Wallpaper was peeling loose. HDMI cable from cable box to TV input was faulty. Lost the signal until I pushed the cable into the connector. If you bumped the TV, it would lose the signal again. Room telephone had no dialtone. My room key was incorrectly programmed one day too early for checkout. Had to return to lobby to reprogram.

Plussat: Breakfast and facilities

Miinukset: Restaurant

Plussat: Excellent coffee break, room and room service

Plussat: Great value Quiet neighborhood Good mattress

Miinukset: Breakfast is bad for such a hotel.

Plussat: It was very clean, the rooms are very big, in a good location and the staff was very nice.

Miinukset: I didn’t have any dislikes

Plussat: Clean comfortable would stay here again for business not leisure

Miinukset: Hotel far from the beach.

Plussat: good quality for the price. a very ample breakfast. lovely rooftop pool and sauna.

Miinukset: the food was terrible

Plussat: The location is fantastic, the food wonderful and the staff extremely friendly, helpful and obliging.

Miinukset: Hard to think of anything really.

Plussat: Beach location, easy access to beachfront and inexpensive Uber to historic center.

Miinukset: Room a tiny bit small. Would have like umbrella and chair service until almost sunset.

Plussat: Proximity to shopping mall. Safe area to walk. Very good breakfast.

Miinukset: Rooms are very small.

Plussat: The location was terrific.

Miinukset: The room phone had terrible connection.

Plussat: The staff was super nice, courteous and showing the best spirit of the famous Bahia's hospitality. The breakfast was superb, great variety and new options every day. Room is very spacious. Nice touch at check-in with a personalised card and typical sweets.

Miinukset: Nothing. Had a small issue communicated to the management and a solution was immediately offered. It is a family business and that's great, they have the power and independency to directly solve any issues. Corridors and bathroom/showerhead are a bit outdated, but hotel is undergoing a refurbishment.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Food staff very clean

Plussat: Very clean and right on the beach in the Barra neighborhood. Within easy walking distance of lots of shops, restaurants, the mall and a supermarket. We had a spectacular view of the beach and the lighthouse from our balcony. Breakfast each morning had a ton of options and was delicious. Staff really went above and beyond for customer service - one of our bags never made it to our destination and was stuck in the São Paulo airport, and staff helped us call the airlines multiple times to figure out the situation. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Plussat: The staff was very helpful, even though they couldn't solve the WIFI issue.

Miinukset: WIFI did not work, even changing to a different room on another floor.

Plussat: The hotel was small but very nice and extremely clean. The service was excellent. I really enjoyed the restaurants.

Miinukset: My room was two levels with the circular stair which was a little awkward. But not bad. The lighting sometimes was not working well in the hallways. But otherwise it was a very nice day.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Maeby a little more variety at breakfast.

Plussat: All ... love all .. the restaurant , the staffs , all was perfect! Deff i will be back again! Amazing place near flamengo beach, in itapua tive tardes maravilhosas !

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: As we were 2 travelling, the first room we got was terrible with absolutely no space for opening suitcases and almost no lighting but the staff were amazing and managed to get us another room a day later. So kudos to staff that try make your stay better. The beds were very comfortable, the mini bar has a good variety if you're into that. The pool was nice but very small. The beach right across is just beautiful. There is a lady giving massages by the pool but be ready to pay. No other form of spa was available.

Miinukset: Breakfast was more basic than expected given the stars rating of the hotel (we had just stayed in another one with less stars and the breakfast was better), but it was ok enough. Make sure you ask for fresh made eggs and they will try for you. The fried ones on the buffet were usually cold and the scrambled overcooked (green). The second pool can only be used during a very limited time in the day, so if you want to swim away from kids etc you don't have a choice. Not sure why they would build a pool in front of the restaurant that u can only use for about 4hrs a day (8am-12noon). The area really isn't very safe so if you are looking to go for walks don't choose the area or to try out restaurants nearby you need always taxi or Uber.

Plussat: gentleness

Miinukset: the correct price should be a maximum of € 45

Plussat: Total service we received was good

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Lovely breakfast, lovely staff, nice location. I was there for work so not much time to enjoy the surroundings, but morning walks on the beach were wonderful

Plussat: The staff is super friendly!

Miinukset: Everything was ok. Points to improve: AC is noisy when you first turn it on; There was a corner at the bathroom that was a little bit dusty

Plussat: Staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Hotel was lovely, small with only 16 rooms, facilities and rooms were very good. Bar was reasonably priced.

Miinukset: Could do with a lick of paint here and there.

Plussat: service

Miinukset: breakfast needs to be paid and not included

Plussat: Excellect. European standard in Brazil. An oasis amid the chaos of Salvador.

Plussat: Staff were very nice and breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. It's perfect if you are using the airport and the free shuttle bus service was great. The pool is open 24 hours!

Miinukset: The rooms are dated and could do with some modernising. The beds are not of very good quality. The mattress wasn't comfortable.

Plussat: Location is excellent near a shopping mall and 10 minutes from airport with a free shuttle every hour from 8am. Breakfast is excellent!

Miinukset: Need better pillows

Plussat: Location is perfect for an early flight.

Miinukset: The restaurant was not good. Food was just ok and service was extremely slow.

Plussat: Comfortable

Miinukset: Staff/ they cannot even speak English

Plussat: The breakfast is very generous, offers a good variety of products and of good quality. The staff is very good in general, among which Francis and Maria were very helpful and attentioned. The room was quiet and well isolated from the noise of the avenue.

Miinukset: The noise of the machinery of airconditioner outside the hotel.

Plussat: The service and staff were both very good. The location is a bit out and away from the beach, however, the hotel itself is first class.

Miinukset: The cost for a taxi to get downtown.
