Hotels Near Cathedral of Salvador in Salvador

This hotel really lives up to its excellent reputation. The clowns from the last hotel I reviewed in Brasilia should send their miserable unhelpful staff here to see what proper top rate customer service looks like. Staff brilliant from beginning to end. Rooms were exquisite and very spacious. Air conditioning was superb. Staff unpacked for me and folded everything nearly. Anything left out daily was also tidied away carefully and efficiently. Unlike many hotels you receive plenty of free water. There is a free travel adapter to use in every room and complimentary flip flops robes slippers etc. Food was good and gym was modern and well appointed. Pool was very modern and the guys at the pool bar were happy and helpful. Reception always happy to help. I’m struggling to balance this with a gripe but there are two very shall ones. No shaving kit in the room. Probably could get one if you asked but would be nice to have that. Also a few occasions when we were slightly later to breakfast the breakfast staff start tidying bits from your table whilst you are still eating! Unnecessary! All in all superb.

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 simple but it has everything you need. The pool is great and the internet connection by the pool works better than the rooms. It is located near restaurants, bars, groceries stores, and pharmacies. Breakfast could improve. I wish they had more local tropical fruits. However, breakfast is simple but well served. Located just steps from the beach, which is calm and not lots of waves. Good for kids.

Então, eu gostei muito da minha hospedagem no Hotel Rede Andrade Ondina, bem localizado, quartos limpos, ficamos de frente para o mar, eu e meu irmão, banheiro limpinho, todos os dias é feito a limpeza do quarto e a retirada dos lixos, também, se precisar de ferro de passar ou secador, o hotel possui, vendem água mineral, refrigerantes e cerveja, as recepcionistas são bem educadas e sempre tiram nossas dúvidas, o café da manhã com comidas de boa qualidade, o pessoal responsável sempre repondo quando está acabando, água quente e fria no ambiente, a vista em frente ao mar, é perfeita, uma verdadeira obra pintada, o espaço possui uma cobertura, as fotos ficam incríveis, Uber local e pop sempre aceitando as corridas. Assim, recomendo sim, o hotel, outra coisa, muitas avaliações aqui falam mal do hotel, mas, por outro lado, tive minhas próprias conclusões, e digo sim, o hotel é ótimo para se hospedar.

Vou compartilhar a experiência que tive tanto os pontos bons quanto os ruins. Chegamos no hotel no dia 25/11/23 no final da tarde, fomos bem recepcionados pela recepcionista de plantão, ela inclusive nos ofereceu para fechar alguns passeios com ela, mas como já tínhamos fechado com a Decolar agradeci e disse que não tínhamos dias livres. Depois disso, a simpatia dessa recepcionista acabou, atendeu a gente sempre se cara fechada e com uma má vontade de lascar. Pedi para ela 1 travesseiro extra, ela disse que não tinha ali no momento mas ia solicitar, no dia seguinte cobrei novamente e ela disse que estavam lotados e não tinham sequer 1 travesseiro extra. No outro dia perguntei novamente, mas notei o mau humor então deixei pra lá. Como nosso checkout era ao meio dia e nosso vôo apenas as 22 hs, perguntei se tinha a possibilidade de fazer um late checkout, ela nem olhou no sistema e disse que estavam lotados e não tinha a menor possibilidade. Na manhã seguinte que era o dia do checkout, conversando com outra recepcionista (essa sim muito simpática) nós ajudou, disse que sim haviam 4 quartos vagos, e poderiamos fechar pelo aplicativo. Fiz isso e agradeci, uma pena que esqueci o nome dela, mas ela estava no sábado dia 02/12 pela manhã na recepção. O quarto que ficamos tem uma vista excelente ficamos de frente para praia, muito boa a vista e o quarto atende as 3 estrelas do hotel. O pessoal da cozinha, copa e do café da manhã foram extremamente simpáticas com todos, só tenho elogios para todas elas. No geral o hotel é bom na sua média, mas esse atendimento dessa forma realmente deixa a desejar, uma pena que algumas pessoas tratem os turistas dessa forma. Infelizmente esqueci de perguntar o nome da recepcionista que nos ajudou a ficar algumas horas a mais no quarto, pra ela só temos a agradecer pela ajuda e presteza, para a outra que nos atendeu de uma forma bem mau humorada, tudo bem não lembrar o nome, pois a intenção não é prejudicar ninguém, mas sim que outras pessoas possam ter uma melhor experiência.

Fantastic stay! The hotel is beautiful. It is right on the top of the hill of Rio Vermelho and it offers a free service from the hotel to the main street and the other way around. When we arrived we found very nice receptionists. We were initially given an accessible room, we requested to change it as we were there to celebrate our honeymoon. One evening the hotel staff treated us with strawberries, chocolate and 2 brigadeiros ＜3 The room was very nice and clean, with all the comforts. The breakfast, unfortunately, wasn't very good. The quality was poor. The positive thing is that we could order omelettes and tapiocas cooked at the moment. All the staff very nice and friendly. Definitely recommended! :)

This is basically a convention hotel surrounded by medical practices not far from a dirty beach and away from ALL major attractions in the city - in theory and in practice, not the best choice for tourists in Salvador or those visiting it for the first time, it's a fact. No wonder it is often busy with congress members, groups from other states or patients from the hospitals and clinics nearby. That being said, it is not a bad hotel at all, though some update and renovation is urgently needed. Staff is most kind and friendly, be it reception, housekeeping or restaurant. Rooms are large and comfortable, breakfast is assorted, parking is available at a (high) fee. TV has tons of channels, internet works really great, the pool is not to be missed. This was my third time in the hotel and each had a fulfilled purpose. Just make sure it is the right choice to meet your purpose.

For the price paid, the value is exceptional. The location is safe, 5 metres from the beach (about as close as a hotel can get) and a few minutes walk from supermarkets, restaurants and other amenities. The breakfast as is always the case with Rede Andrade hotels is varied and sizable. This hotel branch is much nicer than two others I stayed at in Salvador with a comfortable lobby area and outside seating courtyard. Though my room was misrepresented as ”an apartment” when it is a normal room, I was fine with it given the low price paid. I had a sea view and the room contained the necessary features, i.e. fridge, TV, hot shower, ac, and towels/soaps. The WiFi was terrible though with no signal at all in the room. Aside from the latter, everything was great as were the staff. Would recommend 100%

The hotel needs urgently a retirement, the room in which I stayed had a moof and the bathroom too. The lifts also need a reform. Breakfast needs improvements, needs to be more diversified. The bed linen and towels need to be exchanged, they were very wearing.

The foods are good.
