Pros:

The staff is kind , the location is great, the building is beautiful, it was a worth stay.

Cons:

I just didn’t like that there was no view, there was like a cement wall opening the window. We stayed only one night so it was great, but for more days, I think it is better to choose another room.

Tres bon hotel mais tapage nocture constaté durant mes 2 nuits
Pros:

8/10 pour l'établissement: deco, massage, petit dej, propreté, qualité de la literie ok. Le personnel est adorable et parlent anglais. Peu d'établissement parlent anglais au Brésil.

Cons:

Le bruit des sans abris jusqu'a 2h du matin, passage des poubelles à 5h et musique à fond dans la rue à 6h.
Pour le côté reposant on repassera.

Ascenseur en panne au premier etage mais j'étais au 2eme etage donc ca fonctionnait.
Chambre et salle de douche un peu petite.

Escale indiscutable !
Pros:

Un établissement au centre du Pelourinho donnant sur la place Praça da Se. Securisé, un personnel sympathique et un hôtel à la décoration vintage. On ne peut que s’y sentir bien!

Cons:

Peut-être le bruit extérieur mais c’est la vie animée du Pelourinho. A y séjourner on doit l’accepter.

Un rifugio elegante e tranquillo nel Pelourinho
Pros:

Praticamente tutto. La posizione centralissima nel Pelourinho, l’eleganza e l’originalità dell’arredamento, la comodità della stanza, la cura dei dettagli, l’ottima colazione in una sala che guarda alla piazza, e non da ultimo la professionalità del personale che, cosa abbastanza rara in Brasile, parlava bene in inglese.

Cons:

Non ho trovato nulla di cui lamentarmi

Joli mais drôle d’ambiance.
Pros:

L’authenticité de l’hôtel, son petit déjeuner

Cons:

L’hôtel est au milieu de la vieille ville. C’est un endroit réputé dangereux et quadrillé par la police ce qui génère un sentiment constant d’insécurité. L’hôtel est entièrement protégé par des grilles aux fenêtres et il en ressort une ambiance de prison. Ce n’est pas tant lié à l’hôtel lui même qu’à son emplacement.
Les équipements sont également un peu fatigués.
