Hotel in the center of all the action

The hotel is really nice; colonial style, beautiful interior design. It is amazingly clean, I don't know how they manage to get rid of the dust. The furnishing of the rooms is simple, even somewhat outdated but it is very uncomfortable and unpretentious. The staff is very helpful. If you need a taxi or uber ordered for you, they'll do it and will fix the price for you which I found really helpful, especially with taxis. I was there for work and needed a ride every day for a week. The receptionist never hesitated to get me the best price. The hotel is located right in the middle of all the night life action on and around Rio Vermehlio. It does get pretty noisy on the weekend but the noise stops at around midnight. The breakfast is included in the price and it is amazing: fresh papaya, different tapioca products, all traditional Brazilian and Bahian food. It has a beautiful courtyard where one can have their coffee in the morning. There is a beach right behind it. It's not the best beach, it's pretty rocky but there are small boats one can rent.

a great place to stay!

Everything was wonderful-the neighborhood is safe and fun with good restaurants and close to beach. The breakfast delicious, the room fine and comfortable. It is very pretty. Wagner at the front desk was helpful and delightful. The ladies in the kitchen were warm and friendly. The only difficult part was the keys- very confusing.

Cute Hotel, Easy to love

Regal decore, comfy bed and plenty of fresh towels. Great location just one block from the action. Public bus runs frequently and will get you to Barra Beach or Barra Shopping for about $1. Uber is easy and cheap. Quite, clean and safe place to rest your head. The staff is quite kind and will assist you with ease. Breakfast is nice.
