What guests think
Hotel Villa Bahia is a restored historic boutique property in the heart of Pelourinho, repeatedly praised for warm, attentive staff, charming, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and showers, and an excellent, varied breakfast, with many highlighting the safe, central location.
The historic building and tasteful decor create a distinctive atmosphere, and some rooms include terraces or rooftop views. Guests also note occasional street noise typical of the center and a few practical niggles, such as small twin beds, in-room Wi-Fi issues, or rooms not ready at check-in, and one comment about a simple breakfast. Overall, expect a character-filled stay focused on service, location, and generous rooms.

We highly recommend this hotel. We received such a warm welcome on arrival; the staff even helped us take our luggage up to our room. The breakfast area downstairs was beautiful and scenic, partially indoors and outside and the lady and guy that served us each day were so very friendly and helpful. When we saw our room for the first time we were in awe; there was a small entry hall (lounge/ tv room) which led into the large bedroom with plenty of storage, with a large bathroom and shower and there was even access to our own private verandah on the roof with a view of rooftops and churches (the famous church of gold, a stones throw away). The room was cleaned each day with beautiful precision and care, and even if we're still in the room they would call us to ask if we wanted our room cleaned. Last but by no means least, we must pay tribute to the front of house team, each and every one of them was so warm and polite and helpful, wishing us good morning or good night each time, giving us directions with such patience and always with a smile on their face. In particular we want to give huge praise to the lady in the white dress with curly hair who worked the day shift and Jeff who worked nights. We will definitely be back.

Pelourinho is the central area of Salvador, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The hotel is in the centre of Pelourinho, what can be better. Everything is within 3-10 min walk. Sometimes outside sounds come through but those are church bells or local talented musicians, pleasant to hear that authenticity. The hotel is in a historic building, once in you feel centuries old cultural spirit, truly inspiring. The era of Portuguese geographical discoveries. Beautifully decorated hotel, with meticulous attention to every historic detail. At the same time modern amenities are there as well so the rooms are very comfortable, nice and clean. Small swimming pool is a relief after hot walk. Rooftop area gives good views of central part of the city. Staff members take care of every visitor. Really enjoyed my stay in this historic hotel. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic location in centre of historic town, and very safe to walk about in the evening, which is an issue as a few blocks away from the centre it can be sketchy. The hotel itself was a sight of its own, as it is the former home of a sugar trade businessman, and it has beautiful pieces of that era while being beautifully restored. The breakfast in the terrace were delicious. The staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The only place we would stay in Salvador.

This is a unique place to stay that fits in with the old world charm of the surrounding pelhourino area. The building is super old but has been well-kept and has modern amenities like air conditioning and an awesome shower. Comfortable bed. At the same time there are oddities like the old school window shutters and gigantic skeleton key to the room that makes you feel like you are back in time. There is some noise from the surrounding bars but it’s part of the charm of this part of the city and did not go on too late or disturb my sleep at all (you can always close windows and turn on air con). Staff was really lovely, helpful, and spoke good English. You hear some scare stories about pelhourino being unsafe. This is directly in the middle of the safest square in that neighborhood next to the main attraction, the church. If you stick to the main tourist areas/ paths (they are obvious) you’ll feel safe and have lots of options for shopping food and nightlife. Compared to other parts of Salvador I think this area is a must-see. Don’t miss it. And this is maybe the best place to stay in that area which already feels somehow back in time.

Great hotel, great location, great breakfast, great service. For the price, they should have bottled water everyday and a kettle and or coffee maker in the room. The twin beds are small! Almost cruise ship small. Our room could have had a desk. WiFi, at least from our room has horrendous.

L’hôtel a gardé un charme unique et est décoré dans un superbe style ancien. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et varié avec une spécialité locale chaque jour. Le personnel est très attentionné. J’ai même eu droit à un gâteau d’anniversaire surprise dans ma chambre. Je retournerai sans hésitation à Villa Bahia lors de mon prochain séjour à Salvador.

Pelourinho is the central area of Salvador, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The hotel is in the centre of Pelourinho, what can be better. Everything is within 3-10 min walk. Sometimes outside sounds come through but those are church bells or local talented musicians, pleasant to hear that authenticity. The hotel is in a historic building, once in you feel centuries old cultural spirit, truly inspiring. The era of Portuguese geographical discoveries. Beautifully decorated hotel, with meticulous attention to every historic detail. At the same time modern amenities are there as well so the rooms are very comfortable, nice and clean. Small swimming pool is a relief after hot walk. Rooftop area gives good views of central part of the city. Staff members take care of every visitor. Really enjoyed my stay in this historic hotel. Thanks a lot.

Fantastic location in centre of historic town, and very safe to walk about in the evening, which is an issue as a few blocks away from the centre it can be sketchy. The hotel itself was a sight of its own, as it is the former home of a sugar trade businessman, and it has beautiful pieces of that era while being beautifully restored. The breakfast in the terrace were delicious. The staff were very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The only place we would stay in Salvador.

Great hotel, great location, great breakfast, great service. For the price, they should have bottled water everyday and a kettle and or coffee maker in the room. The twin beds are small! Almost cruise ship small. Our room could have had a desk. WiFi, at least from our room has horrendous.

Meus quartos não estavam prontos no check-in. Tive que aguardar após às 14h. O café da manhã é muito simples, mas gostoso. A atendente da recepção, logo após o café já perguntou que horas iríamos fazer o check-out, o que achei bastante indelicado.

Formidable séjour dans cet hôtel, idéalement situé dans le cœur historique de Salvador. On se sent immédiatement bien dans cet endroit. L’hôtel a gardé un charme unique et est décoré dans un superbe style ancien. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et varié avec une spécialité locale chaque jour. Le personnel est très attentionné. J’ai même eu droit à un gâteau d’anniversaire surprise dans ma chambre. Je retournerai sans hésitation à Villa Bahia lors de mon prochain séjour à Salvador.

Beautiful boutique hotel in a converted colonial house. The staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations. The rooms were spacious and property itself was well preserved and perfectly styled. The location was perfect in the heart of the old town, and walkable to most places and an easy uber down to the beach. We’d recommend this hotel as a base to explore Salvador!
