The hostel is located at the center of Pelourinho and very near to the elevator which takes you to the port, near the Mercado Modelo (which is nice to visit and buy crafts and gifts). The place is wonderful and picturesque, being in a typical Pelourinho house. It has a great view, especially from the upper floors, views to the... More

This is absolutely unique place to stay in. Perfect location (Pelourinho) combined with the nice, colorful interior. Clean, comfortable rooms. Access to internet (two computers available). Delicious breakfast being served in common room overlooking the lovely square. Great atmosphere co-created by the friendly staff and the owner who put a lot of heart to make this place special and unforgetable. More

We had a wonderful time in the Pelourinho and a big part of this was Anna and Felipe's (the owners) gracious hospitality. Along with their friendly and helpful staff, they provided a welcoming atmosphere, wonderful breakfast, great common room with two computers where people could skype and use the internet and clean, comfortable rooms. The location is perfect to experience... More

The staff is exquisitely friendly and helpful; there was a familiar atmosphere. Also the breakfast was great with a big assortment. The location of the hostel in the historical center (where always something is going on) could not be better. With its design and the staff the Pousada Pais Tropical represents the colorful and joyous atmosphere of Salvador very well. More

...sadly the private room with bathroom that I had smelled awful! The plumbing clearly had a problem as it stank of sewerage. The air con was next to useless as I had the ceiling fan on all night too to 'get rid' of the sewer smell. As I arrived after midnight, I couldn't find somewhere else sadly. The dorms didn't... More

As the below reviews summarise perfectly, Felipe has achieved a pousada with an atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The service is excellent (Felipe even collected us at the airport due to a 2am arrival), the rooms clean, quiet... More
