Top Hotels Near Palacete Das Artes Rodin Bahia in Salvador from AU$53

"HORRIFIC! Do not stay! I wish I could upload pictures of the reality because it does not match the photos. Stains on bedding & furniture, bugs in the rooms, holes in the walls, no hot water, broken patio door (safety hazard), moldy smell, chipped and dirty toilets….we left the property after 1 day and didn’t finish our stay. All of that and no help or accommodations for this disaster. Victoria was no help and would not refund us. Avoid at all costs!"

"The most amazing thing about The Wish Hotel Bahia is the staff. We checked in with two reservations—a single night via Expedia and a week with our timeshare. In an attempt to honor our request for an upgrade from a standard room, Rafael appointed a bellman to show us several options. The day after our arrival was Easter Sunday and much of the city was closed for the holiday. Henrique’s—who was an absolute delight for our entire stay—searched the internet for museums and other venues that could occupy our day. He recommended restaurants, gave us walking directions, advised us on how to stay safe, and checked on the status of our time in Salvador everyday that he was on duty. As first-time visitors to Salvador, these interactions were invaluable to us. There are two restaurants—the one closest to the bar leaves much to be desired. We didn’t try the other, but it has great reviews. The bed was very comfortable, and our three issues with the room concerned the military school that performed drills sometimes as early as 6:45am., the shower—which was a nice size, had a shower head that only pointed toward the floor and water pooled nearly an inch deep in the back of it that had to be swept toward the drain. "

"Excellent service from start to finish. Hotel is being renovated but this did not disturb us. Excellent room, pool/sea views. Staff helpful. Breakfast amazing. Had lunch at restaurant twice. Excellent quality."

"This property is in a great place but is very dated. Rooms are basic and need a refresh. Bathroom is clean but old fashioned and basic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. "

"Sempre bom"

"Clean, well-equipped apartment in a secure building. Grocery store next door."

"Perfect location. Wayyyyy overpriced for Carnivale, but it is, what it is. The sheets were clean, and the pool area has a good vibe. It’s usually a very cheap hotel, and for its usual $50 per night charge, you would accept it. However, for the $600 during carnival however, it’s a hard pill to swallow. "

"The best thing about this place is the location: right in front of the beach, a lot of restaurants and bars right down the stairs, close to public transportation, grocery stores and to Shopping Barra. The staff here is phenomenal, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. The rooms and room furniture could use an upgrade."

"Amazing cost-benefit, you're in the heart of Salvador Carnival for the Barra-Ondina circuit. There are also good options to eat, very close to Shopping Barra, supermarkets, and drugstores. The hotel's structure is not the most modern or well maintained, but it is not an issue if you don't care about it. Also, be aware that depending on the floor, you may hear significant street noise."
