Hotels Near CASTRO'S in Salvador

I liked the accommodations, however there is no telephone / intercom in the room, it is necessary to have a whatsapp contact, provided by them, for everything you need, I found it quite uncomfortable. Towels very shabby (rough), they should be replaced. Good breakfast, but with few seats, you have to wait depending on the time you arrive. Good cleanliness, attentive and helpful maids. There is a fridge in the room, but without any products inside. You can bring it from outside or ask them via whatsapp.

This hotel does what it does well for the low cost. It is in a good location in a safe area of town. A rocky beach (not for swimming) is right outside, and although the rooms don't directly look out to sea, it was nice to be able to hear the ocean. The staff are friendly and helpful and although many speak some English, it is useful to be able to speak a little Portuguese . Breakfast was good, but dinner less so - on the night I ate in the restaurant the buffet wasn't on, and I suspect this would be better than ordering off the menu. The rooms are basic but clean and functional. Overall no complaints for the cost.

I have been a guest in this small hotel many times, I think for a 3 star it is of a good standard. The sea view rooms, some with balconies are delightful, thanks to the view. The bathroom is spacious. Its best thing is breakfast and chá da tarde, a gastronomic break offered in the afternoon, with sweet and savory options. The location is one of the best in Salvador, a neighborhood facing the sea but at the back full of restaurants, bars, museums, ancient buildings and many things to see. It's just a pity that the beach in front is not suitable for swimming. In a few minutes by bus or taxi you can reach the praia do flamengo, one of the best in the city.

Salvador city center, the rooms are average, a bit retro, but there is a breakfast room with sea views, which is not bad. For business travelers, the overall price/performance ratio is okay. There is a small Chinese restaurant 100 meters nearby. Fried noodles are better than many Chinese restaurants in Brazil.

My family and I stayed at the Wish with interconnecting rooms in August 2022. This worked really well for us. Lobby area is large and airy with lovely decor. Pool area looked really nice but was not warm enough for us to use. The gym was modern with plenty of choice in equipment. Had some lovely evenings at the bar drinking cocktails made by Mauro. We were allocated rooms on level 11 so we had the perfect view over the city. Just wish the windows had been cleaned. Our view was a little cloudy! On one occasion we had music outside the park for us to listen to! Plus we watched some lads playing soccer. Room sizes were good. Beds were supercosy with good selection of pillows. The decor was a little tired and could do with freshening up. There was a musty damp scent in the room on arrival which we resolved by opening the window. This must be due to the climate where its warm and wet in Winter. Breakfast was lovely each morning with lots of choice. Just wish they had some plant based alternatives. E.g soya milk, margarine etc. Outside the Wish hotel is a park which a huge monument and fountain, if you wish to take a morning stroll/jog. There are council exercise machines next to the childrens playground. We were fortunate to see Capoeira training going on. Other than that there is nothing else. A short cab ride away will take you to Bahia shopping mall - Really good food court on ground floor here - Oriental, Italian and Brazilian. Plus a good place to do a money exchange. Cash is king here guys! The tourist spots like praca da sa, Pelourinho, Rio Vermelho etc are 1.5 miles away. Hotel taxis accept card payments. Which is really convenient. Be prepared to hold on to dear life when taking a random taxi from the street. Some drive like lunatics. Our taxi from airport to hotel was like this. Maybe its worth booking a hotel transfer with Wish. Overall if I could afford the Fasano I would stay there for the luxury plus location,but if you require something more easy on the pocket and away from the madness of the tourist areas, I would choose Wish de Bahia. Many thanks for a wonderful first stay in Salvador. X

This hotel is good and has a very good buffet breakfast and I also enjoyed the evening buffet there. However, the beach which the hotel overlooks is difficult to access and also has a large building site next to it. The wifi is shocking and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it exists. In the rooms it keeps cutting out and in the restaurant it is not available at all in some parts

Very good hotel with an excellent location in Salvador, in the middle of the fashionable Vitoria neighborhood of the city. Service, including room service, is attentive and efficient. The hotel has parking and it is moderately priced.

No momento da Reserva não me atentei ao fato que o quarto selecionado estava sem café da manhã incluso, visto que estava pesquisando em vários lugares ao mesmo tempo, e na pressa não revisei. Ao chegar no hotel e somente após pagar minha estadia, fui informado que teria que pagar o adicional do café da manhã (70/casal/dia). Na hora pesquisei no APP e vi que uma reserva para o mesmo período estava custando exatamente o mesmo preço que eu havia pago, mas com café da manhã incluso e perguntei ao funcionário se poderia cancelar a reserva e faze-la novamente no app para pegar o café incluso, mas isso me foi negado por um motivo muito ridículo e que eu teria que resolver com a plataforma Booking (no meio de um fds onde nada se resolve). No dia seguinte questionei outro funcionário que deu uma justificativa mais sem nexo ainda e que eu poderia perder meu dinheiro e ter que pagar por toda a reserva. Resumindo, não me ofereceram uma solução razoável para o caso, não se prontificaram a colocar um gerente ou alguém para analisar o caso, a plataforma Booking tbm não me deu resposta até hoje e eu acabei tomando café numa padaria próxima ao hotel durante 3 das 4 diárias que estivemos aí. Eu não estava pedindo nada além do que a aplicação do preço que vi no app com café para o mesmo período pois se tivéssemos que incluir 70/dia no orçamento, teríamos outras opções de hotel. O que salvou nossa experiencia nessas ferias foi que havíamos planejado ficar em duas estadias diferentes e a segunda foi ótima.

The Novotel Salvador Hangar Aeroporto best features are its location near the airport, newer facilities than most properties in Salvador, and it operates under the ACCOR hotel brand. Despite these advantages, I must report a unacceptable experience during my stay December 28th to 31st 2022 followed by deplorable managerial customer service in response to verified and documented service failures. I have reported these issues to my travel agency, my corporate travel unit, and my personal travel networks. As I discovered this property using Trip Advisor, I have decided to report this matter for the benefit of my fellow readers. I do not recommend this property for business travelers nor cultural tourism travelers (especially not those seeking afro-Brazilian tourism or those welcoming to the African diaspora). I share some reasons herein: • Unreliable Service: During my stay I experienced one major internet outage over six business hours, as well as minor room outages (less than 30 minutes) on each day of my stay. This hotel was advertised as catering to business travelers, but the hotel provided no updates when internet would be restored despite repeated requests. I did not receive any support to manage the disruption to my teleworking, and personnel were unable/unwilling to facilitate solutions (At one point, I was recommended to use the free internet of one of the shopping malls. Imagine carrying expensive computer equipment to what my taxi driver warned was a “high crime” area). Sadly, the ability of the reception staff to identify solutions was more unreliable than the internet service. • Poor Room Quality: This hotel advertises rooms of high standards of quality, and I am sure many receive good rooms. However, I received a room that was both substandard quality (bathroom sidings and interior furniture water damaged, door malfunction, refrigerator malfunction) and pollutted by the buildings HVAC exhaust being poorly designed, allowing exhaust to flow against rooms on the lower floor (high noise pollution noticeable when sleeping). I believe most guests do not have this experience, as the issue likely affects few rooms on the lower floors. However, when choosing this property, one must ask the question, how does the receptionist decide who receives these rooms which experience high dust inflow and high noise pollution (I have videos and photos available upon request). Why are some customers placed in quality rooms, and others assigned to substandard rooms (noting the hotel has standard room types based on bed requirements)? Why did this hotel property assume that one of their few afro-descendent customers would accept the worst room in the property? • Deplorable Managerial Level Customer Service: Upon checkout, a customer service representative noted my dissatisfaction with my hotel experience, and asked if I would be willing to receive inquires from hotel management the next business day. I did not have confidence in their customer service bu

We do not like the care at the very beginning of the day. the arrival, staff without patience, asked to make the record, not succeeded, much without will they called another person to help. We stayed 8 days in total in Bahia The first time we found someone with bad humor, I thought it was important to report even pq, the first impression is that which is left Good morning.
