Noisy ..... unfortunately

Lovely interior, helpful staff and good ish locale but severely let down by ability to control noise . They state on hotel website about getting a good sleep.... don't count on it. Building has practically no windows (shutters primarily, which do not in all cases cover window gaps) so any noise from street is audible throughout entire hotel at any time ie bar across street (5 metres away) which plays live music until 2300 then carries on until after 0000. Heaven knows if this repeats every night the bar is open... apparently police do not come to shut bar so answer is to better soundproof otherwise tjis pousada fails in any accomodations aim ie to ensure a good nights dleep Management compound problem by not shutting first floor shutters to balcony until 0100 as a rule for benefit of all guests. We had to ask to get shut on music night. Madness. Internally layout of building interior compounds any noise internal and external,so difficult for anyone to sleep who does not have ear plugs and even then thats no guarantee. you will not get woken up early as staff prepare breakfast. In short disappointing and not recommended. Harsh comments but true Avoid if you want to sleep when you want and at a reasonable hour

3 wonderful nights

The staff at Pousada Colonial were incredibly helpful, friendly and available 24hours per day. It was a fantastic walk into the main square and we could park our car out the front at no cost and secure. Our room was 35feet long and had two balconies but the cost was amazingly inexpensive.(with breakfast included) We had 3 wonderful nights.

For a nice stay at the historical district

Pousada Colonial is right in the historical district, a stone's throw from Carmo Church and a 15 minute walk from Pelourinho. Breakfast (by Brazilian law) is included but the rooms have few amenities: no TV or mini-bar (there is a communal TV in the living room upstairs that I never saw anyone use during our stay. There IS free wi-fi and the rooms are air-conditioned and there is a safe for valuables. Many restaurants close by, including a jazz club across the street. So it's not exactly a luxury hotel, but just the atmosphere pays for itself - when was the last time you slept in a 17th Century Colonial-era hotel?

L’accuel est très convivial ; nous avons reçu de l’aide pour monter les bagages dans l’escalier ; la chambre était au 1er étage ; elle était très spacieuse avec un grand lit et un petit lit mais les 2 fenètres ne donnaient pas sur l’exterieur mais sur l’interieur du bâtiment, ce qui est bien pour le calme mais moins bien pour la vue ; le wifi et la climatisation fonctionnaient très bien mais la télévision commune qui se trouve sur une terrasse près de la chambre était hors service ; le petit déjeuner était copieux et excellent avec des produits maison ; la façade de la pousada a beaucoup de caractère et des efforts sont faits pour la décoration intérieure ; il y a plusieurs très bons restaurants à proximité ; lus ne conseillons pas cette pousada aux personnes qui ont du mal à marcher car il y a des escaliers pour aller aux chambres mais aussi à la salle du petit déjeuner

El personal es sumamente amable. La Pousada es una casa antigua con mucho encanto y las habitaciones son bonitas. Lo que no nos gustó tanto es el lugar del desayuno y el desayuno que no es tan atractivo. El lugar es en la trastienda bajando y subiendo escaleras y da a una calle fea y popular. Podrían hacer un poco más de esfuerzo de proteger esa vista y poner un poco más de cosas. Hay también bastante ruido tanto para dormir la siesta que a la noche con el bar enfrente pero bueno esto es por la ubicación y no es culpa de la Pousada. El cuarto bien. Cama muy cómoda
