Salvador Hotel Guide - Teatro Gamboa Nova hotels in Salvador, Brazil.

"The most amazing thing about The Wish Hotel Bahia is the staff. We checked in with two reservations—a single night via Expedia and a week with our timeshare. In an attempt to honor our request for an upgrade from a standard room, Rafael appointed a bellman to show us several options. The day after our arrival was Easter Sunday and much of the city was closed for the holiday. Henrique’s—who was an absolute delight for our entire stay—searched the internet for museums and other venues that could occupy our day. He recommended restaurants, gave us walking directions, advised us on how to stay safe, and checked on the status of our time in Salvador everyday that he was on duty. As first-time visitors to Salvador, these interactions were invaluable to us. There are two restaurants—the one closest to the bar leaves much to be desired. We didn’t try the other, but it has great reviews. The bed was very comfortable, and our three issues with the room concerned the military school that performed drills sometimes as early as 6:45am., the shower—which was a nice size, had a shower head that only pointed toward the floor and water pooled nearly an inch deep in the back of it that had to be swept toward the drain.

"Awful swimming pool. Terrible food. Very superficial staff. I will never go back to this place."

"This property is in a great place but is very dated. Rooms are basic and need a refresh. Bathroom is clean but old fashioned and basic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. "

"Beautiful property In an authentic building full of charm Really yummy breakfast To recommend with no hesitation "

"Sempre bom"

"Clean, well-equipped apartment in a secure building. Grocery store next door."

"Perfect location. Wayyyyy overpriced for Carnivale, but it is, what it is. The sheets were clean, and the pool area has a good vibe. It’s usually a very cheap hotel, and for its usual $50 per night charge, you would accept it. However, for the $600 during carnival however, it’s a hard pill to swallow. "

"If you are considering booking this hotel, I need you to remember that it’s okay to stay at home. I stayed here two nights and it was awful. The rooms lacked windows and had terrible air circulation. There was a fan that was very dusty and loud and so you could not leave it on. The sheets and towels are also very cheap. They malted on my clothes so they were covered in white fluff by the end of my trip. The area is also said to feel unsafe at night because there are abandoned buildings with squatters in them. I don’t recommend. "

"I am giving 1 star because the employees of the hotel are kind. As soon as we entered the room there was a dead cockroach on top of the sink. The television did not work at all in the first room and the smell in the hall if you have any type of allergy, do not go. On the second day I went to complain and on our way down the elevator stopped. We talked to the receptionist and she moved us to a different room. The tv in the new room worked, but there was a cockroach running around the room (also caught on video!) and when my daughter took a shower the entire bathroom flooded. We had to ask someone to fix it. It was the first shower in the "new"bathroom. The next day they closed the swimming pool with no previous notice. I am not even going to talk about the food. Very bad food. Not even the French fries. You can see the oil is old. One of the highlights of hotels in Brazil are the breakfast, not in this hotel. No fresh fruits, very low variety of options. I am very glad that we left when we did. A horrible, horrible, experience."
