Uma verdadeira imersão na cultura, arquitetura e afeto baiano.
Pros:

O atendimento dos funcionários é um dos pontos alto. Eles dão dicas e sugestões com muito prazer, de lugares e experiências bacanas em Salvador.

Cons:

Acho q poderia ter uma cafeteira elétrica na acomodação. Pois sou uma apaixonada por café. Mas tudo estava impecável, não tem o que reclamar.

Hotel con mucho encanto y muy bien ubicado en Pelouriño
Pros:

Ubicación estupenda, uno de los motivos para reservarlo. Desayuno bueno y bien atendido ya que no era buffet, el personal muy amable, el hotel realmente bonito, cuidado y decorado con gusto y con mimo.

Cons:

Solo comentar que la habitación que nos dieron arriba de la escalera, "Guiné", estaba encima de la recepción y se oían las conversaciones desde las 7 de la mañana, único punto negativo

Joia no centro de Salvador
Pros:

O Villa Bahia é um achado no Largo do Cruzeiro. A arquitetura é encantadora, as instalações foram essencialmente preservadas (não faço ideia de como conseguiram esse feito garantindo a modernização elétrica) e o staff é extremamente gentil e prestativo. Os quartos são super confortáveis, grandes, limpos e as “cortinas” sao de madeira - inicialmente fiquei receosa pq sou super alérgica, mas a limpeza é impecável. Café da manhã delicioso.
Das outras vezes nos hospedamos em outro hotel 5 estrelas da região e achei o Villa Bahia muito muito superior (para um casal sem filhos) - e naquele tive uma crise alérgica por conta da poeira e cheiro de mofo.
Recomendo muito o Villa Bahia e não vejo a hora de voltar a Salvador para me hospedar lá novamente.
