We stayed four nights at Solar do Carmo. It was a great location overlooking the harbour in the historical district but outside of the touristy areas. The square near the hotel is full of activities on Sunday, including samba. Our hosts were very helpful in answering all of questions and let us store our luggage when we went to Lencois... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Solar do Carmo hotel, which is located in the Historic Centre of Salvador. We stayed there for 5 nights and really enjoyed our time. The hotel is beautifully decorated and is within the short walking distance from various historical sites. The staff were delightful and were very friendly. The concierge (Flavia) added a personal...

We booked three rooms to stay in this hotel for a party of 4 adults (2 couples) and 3 children. The location was superb, overlooking the bay of Salvador, and within a few minutes walk of the historic Pelourinho district. The staff were delightful - really friendly and helpful. We arrived in the heat of the early afternoon into the... More

We loved our stay at this hotel! The hotel is beautiful--newly renovated with beautiful art and a gorgeous patio for watching the sun set. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and quite comfortable with free wi-fi and cable tv. The staff at this pousada are beyond friendly and made our stay so much more enjoyable. The wife of the owner,... More

The Solar do Carmo is a beautifully remodeled house with eight or nine rooms total. The view looking directly out is the bay. The view down is a ship yard. We had a lower room with a balcony that solved this problem by using large plants to mask the view downward while still letting you take in the sunsets on... More

Very friendly staff, only to 5 minutes walk from Pelourinho... You can go to center by walk, even at night...

My husband and I stayed in a quiet 3rd floor room with air conditioning and a balcony facing the bay. We booked the hotel using booking.com and had no problems. The hotel was nicely decorated and the staff were very friendly and eager to recommend restaurants / sights. Breakfast is included and consists of a large spread of traditional Brazilian... More

Whilst hotel seemed fine in general terms my particular room was noisy. You can hear all the comings and goings from downtairs, and passageways echo. Perhaps not all rooms have this problem but beware in room 302 which is at the crossroads of the stairs and the dining room. The view out of my window was a blank wall a... More

After 15 days in Brazil this hotel, which on paper was our most dubious reserve, was by far the best. The fact that we had room 201, which is probably one of the biggest (we were three persons) and has a direct view of the bay, probably a topper. In this boutique hotel we were looked after by Clara, the... More
