Bela pousada.

Pousada muito bonita, com um café super delicioso e uma ótima recepção. A única coisa que não gostei foi do banheiro compartilhado, mas no geral foi muito bom.

The perfect place to stay!

Intet mindre end fantastisk! Det er så hyggeligt et sted og den mest afslappende og personlige atmosfære. Man følte sig virkelig godt tilpas - vi forlængede vores ferie med yderligere 1 uge dette sted, fordi det var så fantastisk. Derudover er beliggenheden helt ideelt med et torv lige om hjørnet, hvor der altid sker arrangementer :)

Lovely pousada

We were in Salvador during Carnival therefore when we were looking for an hotel to book, close to the historical centre (Pelourinho) but not extremely expensive, we considered ourselves lucky to have managed to find an available room here. The "Pousada do Baluarte" is very stylish. We had a lovely room with bathroom. It also had a small courtyard with an hammock. The owner is very kind and helpful and the staff very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and the place was very clean.

Wonderful Pousada close to Pelourinho

Overall my stay at Pousada do Baluarte was wonderful. Zelina and her staff were very hospitable, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, as well as the common areas. Location was pretty good, close to the Pelourinho...may not be the safest neighbourhood, so take a taxi late at night. My only complaint was that due to a mixup with my reservation that was by no means my fault, I had to vacate my reserved room for two nights & the room I was switched to was not at all the same type I'd reserved. I did get a discount on the two nights, however.

事務所で寝ました。

クレジットカードの番号をメールで教えてほしいとホテルスタッフから連絡があったので 御社に電話して支払いが進んでいることを確認しました。当日行ってみるとカード番号の 返事がなかったので満室にしたと言われました。ワールドカップチケットの受け渡しにその ホテルを指定していたため事務所で寝ることになり、200レあるの現金も払いました。 普段は5000円の民宿だと思います。カード会社が急に高い値段だったから引き落とさなかった のではないのではないでしょうか？ 私以外にも同じメールに対し御社に確認するようにすすめた挙句当日部屋がなくて夜中までさがした 友人が3人いてその方たちに悪いことをしたとおもいます。 過去にも数回御社で予約した後に空港まで迎えに行くから200ドル欲しいとかいろいろメールがきますが 全部無視しています。また当日予約がわからず別の部屋があったので一旦現金を払ったあげく 翌日の午前中に確認がとれたので返金してもらったこともあります。 予約が前すぎたのでリコンファームしてほしかったと言われましたが支払済みでした。これはメキシコです。

Quality with style

This place is sparkling clean. You could lick the shining floor. I stayed room #4 which had gorgeous elevated beam. Hot shower with good water pressure. Breakfast is the best I had among all the other hotels and pousadas in Brazil. It's 10 min.walk from the center but cute pastel neighborhood is fun to wonder around. This place is not for party goer but if you appreciate quality and tranquility this is a great choice.
