The staff was very courteous and always ready to help us with anything we needed. Danilo and Gabriele were very nice and helped us to locate our flight reservation, including sending us the boarding passes in PDF format and hard copy. We were extremely happy for choosing the Bahiacafe Hotel.

Hotel boutique en casa antigua reciclada muy bonito y recomendable en su relación calidad/precio!!! Excelente ubicación caminando a principales atractivos de Pelourinho, cuarto pequeño pero confortable para un par de noches, desayuno artesanal destacable muy rico, y personal de recepción muy amable. Nos sentimos muy seguros allí, y también caminando por los alrededores. Recomendamos quedarse aquí al menos un par de noches para recorrer y vivir el centro de Salvador en toda su expresión, con su enorme encanto y la amabilidad y alegría de su gente!!!

It is a perfect place to enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage Pelourinho neighborhood. It is a historical house nicely converted to hotel. The room was small but adequate for two persons. There was always hot water and good pressure. Everything worked fairly well considering it is an old building. There is a loud nightclub on one side but it didn’t stay open very late. It seemed like the whole area pretty much shuts down completely by about 11 pm even on weekends. I would stay there again if I ever return to Salvador da Bahia. Breakfast was adequate. People working there were particularly pleasant. There is a lot of police presence in the area so you feel pretty secure outside at least until about 11 pm.

The Bahiacafe is a top hotel in Salvador, ideally located in the historic center, with local flavor to its design, an attentive, caring staff and terrific breakfast. Take care, however, to stay elsewhere during big music festivals, such as Sao Joao, in late June, as the hotel faces directly onto the Praca Da Se, where extremely loud music is played until 1 or 2 in the morning.

A lovely, nicely designed spot with a lot of character, great staff, excellent breakfast. But don't ever stay here during Sao Joao festival in June. Thunderous music till 1am every night right out your window.

It’s a perfect boutique hotel at the edge of Peroulinho. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. A nice breakfast with lots of choices in the morning and a cute bar in the lobby. It’s a bit uncomfortable walking late at night but totally walkable throughout the day. There is a noise from bars and other businesses around. Close to restaurants, museums, and attractions and easy to get around in Uber.

The hotel was really nice and is central to the location. During the day it’s ok to walk around but one needs to be careful of the surroundings but the old town is a fun place to go around. At night it’s not a good idea to walk just take Uber. The staff was super friendly and it’s a great place to stay to explore Salvador
