One of the pricier hotels in the area without any justification. The room is interesting in design but the rest is mediocre at best. No toilet paper upon arrival, tv didn’t work, neither did the WiFi and we the bed was not nearly as clean as your basic expectations would be.

Localização perfeita porem com adendo ao bairro.

Ficamos uma noite, optamos pela Pousada por ficar próximo aos pontos turísticos de Salvador (elevador lacerda, Pelourinho e mercado central). Só sinalizo ao bairro, simples e com arquitetura antiga. Muitas ladeiras e rua não muito linear.

- chambre au mobilier et aux équipements vétuste contrairement à d'autres vues en montant en terrasse pour le petit-déjeuner ; - personnel de la réception non anglophone ( ou francophone) même en journée, ce qui ne nous a pas permis de déclarer un vol de vêtement, à l'heure du ménage le deuxième et dernier jour avant le check out.

Linda Pousada no Centro histórico de Salvador

A minha estadia na pousada do pilar foi excelente. Quarto muito confortável, localização excelente para conhecer todas as atrações do Centro Histórico de Salvador, acolhimento impecável. O café da manhã foi delicioso também. Minha única ressalva é com relação à rede de wi-fi, um pouco fraca no meu quarto. Fora isso, só tenho elogios. Com certeza me hospedarei novamente!

A éviter

Accueil glacial Après 1 heure , nous avons pu disposé de nos 2 chambres , alors que la poussada était quasi vide . Le propriétaire ne parle ni anglais ni français et Madame dit à peine bonjour Vous avez toujours l'impression de déranger.Pas d'eau chaude dans la chambre , sauf le dernier jour alors que le propriétaire avait constaté ce problème dès le premier jour Changement de la lampe de chevet sur notre demande , les fils électriques pendaient ! Pas de shampoing pour des chambres à plus de 70 euros Bruit important tant du côté rue que celles vue sur mer plus chambre non insonorisée avec canalisations très bruyantes Point positif : la vue superbe sur le port , de la chambre et de la terrasse du petit déjeuner.

Greit hotell

Hotellet har heis og en frokostterasse med fin utsikt. Det er Tv på rommet.Hotellet er modernisert, men litt enkelt. Fin hage utenfor verandaen med havsutsikt. Airconditioninganlegget var innebygd på verandaen og lagde ubehagelig støy.
