Good location, good price. Two major problems: noise outside the hotel and the building is extremely old. If you want a quiet place to rest, this is not a good choice for you. Employees were ok, not extremely nice but did their work when asked. Crowd outside the hotel is sort of a problem..... drinking, a lot of music, lot... more

Agree with previous reviewers: this is a great hotel in a great location for its price, if you are not bothered with outdated furniture do stay here, it is a really good buy for the money! Do get a room with a view to the sea, it is lovely. We did not like the pool area so much because it... more

I chose this hotel after research because I did not fancy being in the centre of Salvador and did not want to be in one of the beach tourist hotels well out of town. Right facing Porto de Barra beach, the location is perfect with lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Try the Barra Vento overlooking the Praia... more

This hotel is a great choice if you want the best location in Salvador: across a quiet cul-de-sac from the nicest beach for swimming in the city, and an excellent price. I have stayed here twice and each time had a great view. Staff are friendly and helpful and even charged my cell phone for me. Some staff speak English,... more

We stayed at this hotel last week and was greatly impressed. The Grande Hotel da Barra is a four star hotel and I consider it to be the best bargain in Brazil. The rooms are reasonable ($60-$90 per night). It features a large swimming pool with exceptional murals. The rooms with balconies overlooking Barra Beach have white marble bathrooms, dark... more

Mosquitos flying around in the room , the air conditioner leaked into the room on the floor 2 3 4am in the morning. The walls a paper thin so you hear everything in the hallways, no peak holes onthe door , the... more

The hotel was chosen through a travel group, and I must say that I was pleased with the hotel. The location of the hotel was great, fight on the strip and across the street from the beach, it is also in walking distance of several good shops and resturants, a very nice area and I felt completly safe. The hotel... more

I wasn't expecting much, as we rented a suite for R$220 which is very cheap. Keeping this inmind, on the whole, the hotel was ok. The room was at the bottom of the scale in terms of furnishings and cleanliness (we walked around the room in flip-flops as the floor was so dirty). The bed was as simple as one... more

This hotel is a great value. Breakfast in the morning was excellent. The room had air conditioning and a little refrigerator. You can walk down the street and see the lighthouse. more
