The Bahiacafe is a top hotel in Salvador, ideally located in the historic center, with local flavor to its design, an attentive, caring staff and terrific breakfast. Take care, however, to stay elsewhere during big music festivals, such as Sao Joao, in late June, as the hotel faces directly onto the Praca Da Se, where extremely loud music is played until 1 or 2 in the morning.

It is a perfect place to enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage Pelourinho neighborhood. It is a historical house nicely converted to hotel. The room was small but adequate for two persons. There was always hot water and good pressure. Everything worked fairly well considering it is an old building. There is a loud nightclub on one side but it didn’t stay open very late. It seemed like the whole area pretty much shuts down completely by about 11 pm even on weekends. I would stay there again if I ever return to Salvador da Bahia. Breakfast was adequate. People working there were particularly pleasant. There is a lot of police presence in the area so you feel pretty secure outside at least until about 11 pm.

It’s a perfect boutique hotel at the edge of Peroulinho. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. A nice breakfast with lots of choices in the morning and a cute bar in the lobby. It’s a bit uncomfortable walking late at night but totally walkable throughout the day. There is a noise from bars and other businesses around. Close to restaurants, museums, and attractions and easy to get around in Uber.

The hotel was really nice and is central to the location. During the day it’s ok to walk around but one needs to be careful of the surroundings but the old town is a fun place to go around. At night it’s not a good idea to walk just take Uber. The staff was super friendly and it’s a great place to stay to explore Salvador

Just in the middle of the Carnaval at Pelourinho

Good small hotel at the real middle of Pelourinho at Salvador. We stayed for Carnaval and is really everything happening just in front of the hotel. The staff is very gentle and the rooms are good enough considering is an old house converted into an hotel.

Bahiacafe is ideally located at the entrance to the historic sector of Salvador, and at affordable taxi rides from beaches etc. Warm and friendly staff assist with organising excursions. Interesting breakfast buffet but no other in house dining, ( but why bother with so many alternatives within walking distance?). The Caipirinha cocktails in the evening were great. Overall, a nice alternative-but-modern vibe at reasonable prices.
