Top Porto da Barra Beach Hotel Reviews

Grande Hotel da Barra

Grande Hotel da Barra

8/10 Good
"The rooms could certainly be cleaner. The staff at the restaurant and some of the staff at the front desk were nice but we did encounter a few people that did not demonstrate much interest in their guests. The facility is a bit old and needs some updates. The location is great and breakfast was amazing. Overall, not sure I would stay there again for the price. It didn’t quite feel worth the amount we paid for it."

Porto Salvador Hotel

8/10 Good
"Amazing cost-benefit, you're in the heart of Salvador Carnival for the Barra-Ondina circuit. There are also good options to eat, very close to Shopping Barra, supermarkets, and drugstores. The hotel's structure is not the most modern or well maintained, but it is not an issue if you don't care about it. Also, be aware that depending on the floor, you may hear significant street noise."

"A localização é de longe o ponto mais alto. A praia do porto está a uma distância de 50 metros. O pessoal também foi muito educado. O café da manhã, apesar de simples, proprõe tudo que você precisa pra começar bem o dia. Recomendo fortemente."
