Salvador hotels near Farol da Barra Beach

Pros: Beach location, easy access to beachfront and inexpensive Uber to historic center.

Cons: Room a tiny bit small. Would have like umbrella and chair service until almost sunset.

Pros: Proximity to shopping mall. Safe area to walk. Very good breakfast.

Cons: Rooms are very small.

Pros: Beach access

Pros: The location was terrific.

Cons: The room phone had terrible connection.

Pros: The staff was super nice, courteous and showing the best spirit of the famous Bahia's hospitality. The breakfast was superb, great variety and new options every day. Room is very spacious. Nice touch at check-in with a personalised card and typical sweets.

Cons: Nothing. Had a small issue communicated to the management and a solution was immediately offered. It is a family business and that's great, they have the power and independency to directly solve any issues. Corridors and bathroom/showerhead are a bit outdated, but hotel is undergoing a refurbishment.

Pros: Location

Cons: Food staff very clean

Pros: Very clean and right on the beach in the Barra neighborhood. Within easy walking distance of lots of shops, restaurants, the mall and a supermarket. We had a spectacular view of the beach and the lighthouse from our balcony. Breakfast each morning had a ton of options and was delicious. Staff really went above and beyond for customer service - one of our bags never made it to our destination and was stuck in the São Paulo airport, and staff helped us call the airlines multiple times to figure out the situation. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Pros: The rooms and the breakfast were good and the lobby was very good (spacious and well maintained). They had a viewing room for the World Cup games. The view of the beach was good.

Cons: When I booked, the booking said Wifi was available everywhere and free. When I got there it wasn't free in the rooms (only in the lobby) but I was told that since I used Booking.com (via Kayak), it would be free. I had to go every night and have them give me access to wifi in the room (instead of providing it for my 5 days in one shot). They tried to charge me for it at the end of the stay but I didn't pay for it writing a note explaining that my booking confirmation stated it was for free. The location was not too safe at night.

Pros: The view is great and the staff is very nice.

Pros: The bed is very comfortable!

Cons: The jacuzzi was broken! I couldn’t swim in the pool as I had an operation. When I booked the property I was thinking of enjoying the jacuzzi and I was very disappointed that it wasn’t working. The breakfast wasn’t very good, they have a good variety but the quality of some stuff is poor! The sponge cakes especially were very dry and the tapioca was very chewy!

Pros: Nice hotel, very clean, good amenities and a fabulous breakfast!

Cons: More expensive than competitors.

Pros: - Big room in front of the sea. - Cosy light in the room - The room was large with a little living room - Complete breakfast with fresh products

Cons: - The hôtel and the room were old dated - At our arrival, the room was dusty like it nobody was in it for weeks. It was obviously cleaned but with a layer of dust. - The windows were very dusty from outside. It’s a pity with such a nice view of the coast and sea. - We didn’t really felt at home in this hotel. - The surroundings were too calm with no animation. - This hotel doesn’t have the standing of a 4 stars. - Few choice in the mini bar - The bed could be more comfortable (we could feel the springs)

Pros: The staff was excellent - courteous, professional. The breakfast was very good and the room was very comfortable. Special compliment to the person who served at the bar in the lobby. He was always extremely polite and had the important quality of remembering the drinks his customers liked.

Cons: The lateness the rooms were cleaned by the service crew. The job was well done but sometimes we were back to the room late on the day and the room was not prepared yet. I understand it is a busy hotel but maybe more people should be hired for this kind of job.

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Smelt old needs redecorating and furniture, safe is unsafe. Reception needs to wake up Food bad

Pros: Location and cleanliness

Cons: No reading lamp

Pros: Rooms are not clean and they smell cigarette. Location is not that calm, quite hectic

Pros: Friendly staff, good breakfast, great location

Cons: Dodgy lock on our door which needed the technician to check. Hotel staff were quick to act

Pros: beach view from the balcony

Cons: breakfast was not so good, lots of breads

Pros: Location was good

Cons: I was really dissapointed by how we were treated by the staff there, after we booked two nights in this hotel. It was actually the most expensive hotel we stayed in, in our 2 weeks tour of Brazil and there was lots of building work and noise so couldn't really use the pool area. The breakfast was pretty limited and had a lot of types of food that were just not catered for the average customers but maybe only for the few locals. What was most disappointing is the way were were spoken to by the manager Reginaldo and his staff when we explained that there was nowhere in the room mentioned that we would need to pay for the water which as a result we thought was complimentary. The manager was rude and said we need to pay ( which was charged 4 times more expensive as the same bottle of water anywhere outside the hotel)

Pros: comfortable bed and pillows, smelled and felt clean, good towels, window in bathroom, good AC, local specialities at breakfast buffet, good room size, safe, beach view. Fernanda was very friendly and helpful.

Cons: should provide water fountain for guests, staff could be more helpful (reception), wifi very patchy, expected more for the price

Pros: Location, huge swimming pool, nice breakfast

Cons: Property a little old, probably twin bed rooms did not have ocean front location

Pros: I Loved the location

Cons: It Said theres Wifi connection but didnt have it for 4days in a row. Also a tab in the toilet was broken

Pros: The hotel have a great location and the staff ( Ivan from front Desk) made us fell welcomed.

Cons: Our view of the the back street wasn't so horrible until night, gets noise, very noise from early in the morning till late( 2/3 am). The hotel must to change that windows for one with sound proof.

Pros: Excelent location. Cleanliness. Eficient staff.

Cons: Room was ok, but not as good looking as in the pictures.

Pros: Location in Barra was good Breakfast had a good selection

Cons: Staff wouldn’t let us change our dates so we had to pay for an extra night even though we wanted to come back & stay after our Chapada Diamantina trip. We would have stayed for another 3 nights after the CD trip but decided to stay elsewhere

Cons: Not clean and staff was not helping at all

Pros: The location - right by the beach- was the best aspect of the hotel and having access to breakfast on the property was good and quite convenient.

Cons: The room was clean- in a basic sense -but the age of the property was evident. The bathroom mirror was dirty, as was the main mirror outside, the bathroom shower head was in an awkward location and on the last day little bugs were in the shower. The bed was comfortable albeit uneven, and since the bed sheets were two flat sheets- not a set, the bottom sheet would come off a little. The television worked at first but after it shut off on its own I didn’t use it again (the remote was difficult to use and was missing a back.) I was only there for two nights but on the second day-after having checked in the night before I had to wait more than 5 minuteswhile they located my information to let me back in the back (weekend ) entrance.While passing a stairwell on the way to my elevator, I saw a mattress on the stairs. The location is great and the staff was good but it is issues like this that keep the hotel from receiving a higher rating from me.

Pros: Good location. During high season, I imagine this is the best hotel on the strip! Great staff at the front desk.

Cons: Small window in room, not much natural light.

Pros: The location was very nice, very close to the Farol da Barra and there are plenty of restaurants around.

Cons: The bathroom was smelly. Not very clean. In general the hotel needs some maintenance. The breakfast was not good. Very poor fruit options.

Pros: Great location close to the seafront.

Cons: There wasn't much soundproofing in the room.

Cons: All forniture must be renewed

Pros: The location

Cons: The rooms very poor and the conditions of the hotel

Pros: Other wise clean and nice staff.

Cons: No hot water, only one towel, thin curtain, tiny sink.

Pros: everything was great ... the place is convenience, beatifull...feels like home.. willcomeback for sure!

Pros: We were in front of the nicest beach in the city. The weekend road closure is really nice.

Pros: The location and the sea/beach view was brilliant. Because the hotel is on the boulevard, it is noisy in the evenings (especially during the weekends) and you hear many sounds from the street when you are in you room (or trying to sleep). But that is inherent to the location where I wanted to be. The room was tastefully decorated and every day I received new towels. Really great!

Cons: Actually almost nothing. Something that the hotel can't do anything about is the people at night who make a lot of noise. If you want to sleep early (or have to get up early), this is a downside. In addition, I can only think that the shower mat in the bathroom could be replaced for a new one, but that's all.

Pros: The view. It was excellent

Cons: Cold water, not enough towers

Pros: Very creative, original space and everything was up to date.

Cons: Was all great.

Pros: The best location in all of Barra. Right on the beach with all the restaurants and shops either side. The hotel building is really nice and authentic. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Cons: Personally nothing. But aside from the sound of the waves hitting the shore there are quite a few people around the streets and beach until late. If you have an issue with noise this might disturb you. I thought it was great to be in the heart of everything.

Pros: Great atmosphere, very friendly stuff. Very good food.

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: Location was great. Had a very good breakfast. Host were very accommodating.

Pros: Very comfortable room with an abundant variety for breakfast and a friendly and helpful staff.
