The Bahiacafe is a top hotel in Salvador, ideally located in the historic center, with local flavor to its design, an attentive, caring staff and terrific breakfast. Take care, however, to stay elsewhere during big music festivals, such as Sao Joao, in late June, as the hotel faces directly onto the Praca Da Se, where extremely loud music is played until 1 or 2 in the morning.

It’s a perfect boutique hotel at the edge of Peroulinho. The staff was very friendly and ready to help. A nice breakfast with lots of choices in the morning and a cute bar in the lobby. It’s a bit uncomfortable walking late at night but totally walkable throughout the day. There is a noise from bars and other businesses around. Close to restaurants, museums, and attractions and easy to get around in Uber.

The hotel was really nice and is central to the location. During the day it’s ok to walk around but one needs to be careful of the surroundings but the old town is a fun place to go around. At night it’s not a good idea to walk just take Uber. The staff was super friendly and it’s a great place to stay to explore Salvador
