I got a great room with sea view. Room and bathroom are big. The view was breathtaking. And balcony with veranda was large. Breakfast is great and included. Rio vermilo is close by with bars and clubs close by. Casa Teresa is a restaurant close by to eat Bahian food. Everything is walkable. Go see lighthouse. Rooms can be upgraded with new fixtures and furniture. Overall very good hotel. Gym needs improvement.

Very expensive and not as advertised

Must have been a nice hotel in the past. Outdated rooms, mouldy bed linen, at very high prices. One sugar satchel and one coffee cup in a room for a couple. Housekeeping come into your room when you're out, even when you put up the 'do not disturb' sign. A lot of the staff were very friendly and helpful but management need to address these errors.

I love the hotel was in a great location near to bars, restaurant, with security and walking distance if you wanted to walk. I did not like the cleanliness of the room. Found someone’s hair in the toilet, bath floor was dirty and looked stained. In addition we found our toilet was leaking all over the bathroom door. Bed linens felt cheap and very thin, fitted sheets kept falling off the corners every time I rolled over and found myself freezing because there were only one sheet to sleep with no blanket or comforter. For the price and how nice the hotel looked I expected a little more.

The hotel is located in a good area. There are lots of restaurants and bars walking distance. In addition, the hotel has a great rooftop with a beautiful view to the ocean and you can watch the sunset. Luiza from the reception desk has provided great recommendation. Breakfast is great, but I would recommend to be more attentive with the room since it was cleaned around 5 pm and the toilet paper wasn't enough for one night.

Great pool and breakfast. The party at the ocean view does go late (3pm) but we slept through it. Location was fun. Paid parking at about $5 a day valet. Vent in bathroom smelled of sewer which was gross. Maybe the trap dried out again and again. Overall great though.

I enjoyed myself at Novotel in Salvador where I stayed for 1 week. Great location with plenty of restaurants and music and great buffet and very kind staff who went out of their way to accommodate me. There is a shuttle car that takes guests up the hill where the hotel is located. Great rooftop bar and pool with beautiful sunset views. They are busy painting some floors of the hotel but very accommodating if you are uncomfortable. I can’t wait to return!

The staff were fantastic 10/10. The location was fun, with things happening all around. Such a fantastic vibe. The breakfast was ok, with a lot of options; however, any other meals were mediocre, taking a long time to be served even when no other guests were in the restaurant. The gym was very small and the equipment in poor condition and the pool was often dirty with algae and things floating in it. The view, however, made everything better!
