Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Villa Bahia in Salvador. The hotel is beautifully decorated, with a lot of character and charm that reflects the history and atmosphere of the city. Every space feels carefully designed and full of personality.

What truly made the experience special was the staff. Everyone was extremely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warmth made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

A fantastic place to stay if you want to experience the charm of Salvador in a unique and elegant setting. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, friendly and helpful staff.
Pros:

Beautiful old building, lovingly restored from its previous use. Although the hotel has been open for 20 years, it is well maintained. Amazing breakfast. Breakfast staff were lovely. Will stay again!

Cons:

Bedroom was oddly laid out. Just needs reversing to make it work with the odd angled walls.

Dejligt hotel i centrum af Poulorino
Pros:

Stiligt ældre hotel i kolonibygning fra 16-1700 tallet. Meget centralt placeret. God service fra personalet og meget godt morgenmad. Lille, men fin pool. Restauranten er desværre lukket, men vi kan anbefale restaurant Cocu tæt på. Hotellet kan klart anbefales.

Cons:

Alt godt
