Novotel Salvador Rio Vermelho

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, lots of music and restaurants nearby. Very kind and helpful staff. Delicious breakfast buffet. Wonderful pool."

Hotel da Bahia by Wish

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really nice hotel near the center of town (although not near any tourist sites). The rooms are great, the staff is friendly and helpful. It's near the Metro. The usually-included breakfast has a good variety of Brazilian and other western dishes, although during "rush hour" they are not replaced as often when emptied, and the fruit "juices" are not actual pressed fruit, but oversweet processed varieties. Also, one of the 3 elevators was out of order for some of my stay, which considerably slowed access."
