Pousada Redfish is not only in a great location, has delicious cafe da manha, and lovely decor, but everyone who works there is wonderful. The block the pousada is on is filled with colorful, colonial buildings, and is a short walk to Largo do Santo Antonio, Pelourinho, Elevador Lacerda and so much more. Decorating the walls of the pousada are... More

The pousada Redfish is such a lovely hotel and in a great little neighbourhood (we were there at the end of March and there was a free samba show in the Largo do Santo Antonio, just down the road). The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the guy working the night we turned up. The English owner Charles (who... More

The other recent reviews sum up the simple functional elegance of this pousada. The hammocks in the garden area are a lovely feature. What also deserves a mention is the overall level of security. There is a doorman on hand night and day, so that you can only get access to the building through them opening the entry gate. The... More

Pousada Redfish is more than just a beautiful B&B run and managed by an English chap, Charles, it became my travel agent, money changer, Carnival guide and a safe haven in Salvador. It is one of the odd places in Salvador which did not take advantage of the Carnival season and only sell rooms by the package during the period.... More

This is a great place, great location, right in the middle of the historic centre, but far enough from the busiest areas that you can have a peaceful stay. In 5-10 minutes you can walk to the pelourinho. It is a very nice walk, along the old streets and heritage buildings. Staff were very helpful, ready to answer any questions,... More

Redfish was one of the highlights of my first ever trip to Brazil and made Salvador special for us. The location, just on the edge of the main attractions, gave us the perfect stroll through the fascinating cobbled streets and colourful facades, that we otherwise not have seen. It was also not in the middle of the unsafe after 8pm... More

Pousada Redfish was simply fabulous. We were upgraded to the best room at the B&B, complete with a private balcony with a view of the entire city. Charles (the owner, i assume) was extremely attentive. The staff was very friendly and available. We felt secure at all times bc no one can enter/exit without the staff to unlock the gate.... More

Thanks to Marcio and Filipe at the 'front desk' for the wonderful stay in Salvador. We can not forget the 'omoletes' cooked by Marisilda and the delicious 'bolo de fuba' baked by Silvana for breakfast!! Redfish is well located and with a delightful decor: laid back, confortable and clean. Lovely garden area. But above all, extremely helpful staff always eager... More

We stayed at Redfish in December 2011 and were very pleasantly surprised: - Absolutely great location; walking distance to the main attractions, yet not in the middle of 'not so safe' areas of Pelourinho. - Delightful decor: tasteful, laid back, comfortable; I wanted to take everything home. - Dedicated and helpful staff - No bureaucracy for reservation and payment: accepts...
