beautiful decor, modern bathrooms, lovely dining area. hotel is in the center of Pelourinho (old city) and there are areas in this district not to go as a tourist, but it is the center of all the things you WANT to experience in Salvador, so this hotel is in ideal location. it’s on a nice street, quiet at night but near music, bars, restaurants. police are very present so walking is safe at night. we spent six nights in the hotel: wonderful staff! we arranged two tours with hotel before arriving and that added to our experience. it’s also close to Bale Foclorico - a must see (Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights only -as we understand it)

I loved the location of the hotel being directly into the center of all activities. Let's and very close to the center where it was very walkable. The staff was amazing from the beginning to the end, from our front desk manager to the bartender to the waitstaff they were all excellent and consistently helpful to us. I loved the beautiful rooms. The large space it was comfortable. The bed was comfortable, which is rare for me in most hotels. I love the old time feel of the hotel. You know, and it just felt so inviting.

The one thing that would have been really good, and I mean it may not be something that's possible in a hotel centered where it is, with all of the walking and the hills and the cobblestones, it would have been nice to have some type of a spa service or some partnership with a day spa in the area, because after long days of sightseeing and shopping, it would have had a nice ending to the trip. Otherwise I don't really have anything I didn't like about the property itself.

This hotel is a gem. Staff, facility, location, room.....everything was great! We really had a wonderful time over the New Year. They provided very personalized service of high quality. Located in the centre of Pelourinho and easy access to every attraction, restaurant, and sight of interest. The hotel itself, including our room, was beautiful, and its restaurant was excellent. We highly recommend.

Nothing. We loved everything about this hotel.

Extremely central in the heart of the old town. Our balkony had a beautiful view over the bay. We also received very good advice and guidance from reception at the outset on where to go and not to go. Staff was very friendly throughout. Taxi's can enter the historic streets and take you to the front entrance. Reception can call a taxi anytime, but we usually walked up to a taxi stand at the end of the street. We felt very safe in the neighbourhood.

The whole team, especially Rodrigo and Icaro were superb. The two of them spoke very good English. They gave precise recommendations and excellent suggestions. The restaurant with its fusion dishes is very unique and distinguishes themselves from all other restaurants in the area. The location is also absolutely fantastic, right in the middle of the historic centre.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. I love it. Everything was beyond perfect, and it is like a sanctuary in an ideal location. The room: beautiful with lovely wooden floors, a very comfortable mattress with quality linens, a huge spa shower. My room had a terrace with a beautiful view. Blackout curtains. The hotel: boutique with nice decor. Small pool with ocean view offers a nice way to cool down and relax after hours in the heat. Restaurant: very good local food and they offer a huge delicious breakfast at any time you wish. Included with the room. I am not an early riser and usually cannot take advantage of complimentary breakfasts so that flexibility was unique and greatly appreciated. Staff: the staff is amazing. Everyone was extremely friendly, responsive and customer service oriented. Luis must have spent hours answering all my questions, and always with a smile. The doormen always made me feel like I was coming or leaving home. The owner greets you upon arrival, which is a lovely detail. Location: the hotel has a wonderful location on a pedestrian street in between the two principal squares of Pelhourinho. There is music right outside the door (but the rooms are quiet).

It was amazing! The only possible downside to the location is that you cannot take Uber to the hotel. You need to walk 2 blocks from a main square to reach the hotel, which may not be safe at night (I did not have a problem). You can take an authorized taxi but it is 4x the price of Uber or they also offer a car service.

The hotel is kept in the top condition and is extremely well organized. We chose it as a base to explore Bahia, and they were kind to let us keep the luggage for a few days. When we came back, our bags were waiting us in the room. The location in the most touristy part of Salvador, close to the main attractions, but on a quiet street. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Hotel Casa Do Amarelindo is a marvelous boutique hotel in the heart of Pelourinho. We stayed over New Years. The hotel is lively, bight and open to nature, mixing modern style with antiques and local crafts. The owners go out of the way to make the guest feel welcome, as if you are staying at their home and not a hotel. The staff was attentive, and knew how to make guests feel safe and comfortable to see the sights. Food was awesome, French haute cuisine meets Bahia afro-Brazilian cooking. There was something for everyone on the menu even kids. The location was great in the heart of the tourist district near all of the attractions and shopping in Pelo, but the beach is a hike. However, the staff will get you a cab driven by someone known and vetted so you are well taken care of. We booked an all day tour of Salvador through the hotel, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Brazil, The guide was a local and excellent; he knew the area and had great stories and history to impart to his guests. I recommend using their service for sightseeing. All in all, I would highly recommend booking Casa do Amarelindo if you are looking for a romantic getaway (or bring the kids) in a very unique setting (Pelo is a UNESCO world heritage site), my wife and I will be back soon--maybe even for Carnival!

The Casa do Amarelindo is a very nice boutique hotel located on a pedestrian street in the heart of the historic Pelourinho section of Salvador. We stayed 7 nights at the end of January in a deluxe room with balcony and a view of the bay. The room was extremely comfortable with an enormous bed and an excellent bathroom. The included breakfast was very good and was served to us, rather than being a buffet style. We also had dinner a couple of nights at the hotel's restaurant, which was delicious. Everyone working at the hotel was very friendly, cheerful and helpful. To reach the hotel, we had the hotel send a driver to pick us up at the airport and take us straight to the hotel. This worked out very well and we used the same service when we left. We loved our stay at Casa do Amarelindo and the next time we go to Salvador we'll stay there again.

Exceptional and friendly service from start to finish. I couldn't have had a more welcoming welcome to a place I've never visited before. Right in the heart of all things carnival, music and food, I was blown away. Thanks to all the receptionists for being very professional, friendly and always so helpful. Will miss this place and I'll be recommending it to everybody.

Nothing to report.
