Hotel Villa Bahia

Super friendly staff available 24/7. Nice breakfast too. Right in the middle of Historical Center so great location. Can be a bit loud at night cuz ppl still party by midnight if u come back home early tho

Villa Bahia is such a charming, historic hotel, with a great sense of place and an amazing location on the main square. The front desk team are all so friendly and kind. The breakfast was good, in a nice setting. Our only recommendation is that the restaurant servers have a basic level of English

This is a lovely boutique hotel. The interiors are beautifully decorated and authentic. The room was lovely, large comfortable bed and a spacious terrace overlooking the city with chairs and a hamac. Very clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious, very good coffee. The staff were so lovely and welcoming in all areas. Our flight was in the evening and they kindly accommodated a late check out. The location is great, close to main attractions, however I wouldn’t recommend eating in the restaurants close to the hotel but take an Uber to other locations like Carmo. I will definitely comeback to Villa Bahia and recommend the hotel to friends visiting.

What a wonderful hotel! It’s quite simply beautiful! Although extremely comfortable, there’s an authenticity to the property that more “luxurious” and more expensive nearby hotels lack. I was especially fortunate in that I was given what I understand was the best room in the property, but I was told that all rooms will be updated. The room was spacious, the bed incredibly comfortable and the shower huge. The front-facing view onto the square and church and convent was amazing. The pool is tiny, but fine if no one else is using it. Breakfast was excellent. The staff were all superb. All my contacts – such as the lovely women who serve breakfast and prepare the guest rooms and the helpful accounts manager were tremendous. I would especially praise Javier at the reception. Apart from being extremely interesting, was cheerful, efficient and provided useful information about the hotel and Salvador. The one problem is that of local dining possibilities. The area is very quiet at night and getting to good restaurants involves either a somewhat uneasy walk or a taxi/Uber ride.

Located in the heart of Pelourinho, this hotel is beautifully decorated and has a lot of charm. The rooms are very clean and spacious and the beds are very comfortable. We loved staying in Villa Bahia because after dark we could walk around the large square in front of the hotel where there are many restaurants. The staff were always superfriendly and very helpful. And the breakfast was as if we were staying with family! Thank you all for a wonderful, memorable stay in Salvador!

The Hotel Villa Bahia reception staff , the breakfast team and the cleaning team were wonderfully helpful, approachable and responsive. The hotel location is perfect for walking to key sites around the oldest part of the city such as Pelourhino and quick access to the Lacerda lift down to the lower town. There are other hotels/pesadas in the area, but we enjoyed the layout of this hotel (access to a small pool and rooftop sunbathinig, lounge to front and back of hotel). We would have liked a bit more variety in the breakfast choice (felt a little limited by day 7) but always fresh and good quality. Our first visit to Salvador (won't be our last either).
