Housekeeping, skipped my Room 2 days in a row. Which was kind of a hassle? Put over all the hotels, okay? Okay, the gym, it's kinda terrible. And the room service wasn't that great. It is supposed to be 24 hours. So when I voted food at one a m I got no reply for a good hour, and I know they weren't busy Overall the stuff was very polite

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.

In the first day we arrived we went to the swimming pool and there was no towels Available. Someone from the staff said they were bringing but we waited for almost 1 h and they didn’t bring! We had to go all soak to the room! We complained to the receptionist who didn’t do anything! We had ordered drinks that we had to leave behind.

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.

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!
