    Pros +

    • I felt safe. I wish I got the name of the guard. Even though we had a language barrier, he always made sure the Ubers were the correct cars and would stand w me by the gate. Attempt conversation and was so friendly. Got the best vibes. (All staff in fact was kind)
    • The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, although we don't speak Portuguese. The colonial building and furnishings were elegant. The breakfast was great with lots of choices. The location in Rio Vermilho was tranquil although just a block from bars, restaurants, and the coast. Great place to relax at the end of the day!
    • Location, cleanliness, breakfast

    Cons -

    • By the beach, so there are these tiny ants. Keep your food in the fridge or sealed well to keep them at bay.
    • Nothing. Do check the cost of the hotel laundry before using it, though! ?
    • Bathroom too small. We weren’t given the double bed + single offered by booking.com and requested.

    10AmyPosted on: 8-15-2025

    It is beautifully built with great attention to detail. I loved the tile, the patios, the breakfast, the charm and the great staff. Having the property entrance be gated and attended by staff made me feel very safe. This hotel is wonderful.

    8BobPosted on: 8-15-2025

    Traditional culture @& architecture, well located, SMALL (not a Marano or other big impersonal hotel. Kind staff. Pedro and caretaker top shelf.

    Bathroom too small. We weren’t given the double bed + single offered by booking.com and requested.

    9CarolinaPosted on: 8-14-2025

    Location, garage and breakfast

    Surrounded by bars with loud music all night long (nothing that the hotel can do, of course, but good to know)

    8YingPosted on: 7-7-2025

    Beautiful historical boutique hotel, nice staff, breakfast is very good

    The surrounding area is sketchy

    8SherilynPosted on: 6-22-2025

    Great location, lots to walk to. Excellent, helpful staff and delicious breakfast. Plenty of hot water and a decent shower, room was an adequate space.

    Beds were a little firm. Expected given close to a number of restaurants/bars in the plaza, but it does get loud at night with music if you are a light sleeper.

    7Michael F.Posted on: 4-28-2025

    Breakfast was good - limited options but right amount of food and fruits were good. Coffee can be better but nothing bad.Very good location near good restaurant and bar/café options. Easy to access by taxi.Traditional house is very charming. Bed is good enough although creaking sound and thin mattress might not be for all - mattress and pillow can be firmer for me for a more comfy sleep. Overall staff was very helpful and accommodating.

    7UessilaPosted on: 4-14-2025

    I liked the location, the entire staff was very helpful and smiling. The cleaningness of the room was vy good. I also liked the exterior of the house.

    The mattress was too hard. Breakfest was rich in carbo and low in protein.

    1RonPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Noting to like.

    If you are used to a hotel that has service, care about the guests, has a decent size room, comfortable bed and not a cramming shower this is not a place for you. Small dinning area with ubcomfortable chairs (looks antique) and tasteless breakfast. Noise from cars on the road and late night music in the near by places.

    10TolulaPosted on: 2-25-2025

    A great location, a hearty and varied breakfast and run by a friendly and helpful multi-lingual team - couldn’t have asked for more.

    A little noisy at night but everything else was pretty perfect!

    9ZhenxuPosted on: 2-25-2025

    The location is great! It’s right at the heart of Rio Vermelho. The breakfast is great. The room is tidy and clean.

    10PierPosted on: 2-15-2025

    Beautiful architecture and interior design, kindness of staff, lovely breakfast environment, solid location in the heart of Rio Vermelho

    First night we got in a room that was a bit too noisy because of the AC ventilation. It was fixed as we changed room the next day

    8CeliaPosted on: 2-15-2025

    Beautiful building and quiet street

    A bit noisy inside

    10JuliaPosted on: 2-5-2025

    we were carefully attended. Staff most caring and amazing food. Always great to visit Salvador. Staying at catharina Paraguaçu was very pleasant. We are very thankful.

    8BeatricePosted on: 1-26-2025

    Very nice staff, good breakfast, old but nice room.

    Location is very central for Rio Vermhelo, but it is hard to sleep due to the close nightlife

    9JosePosted on: 1-11-2025

    Beautiful hotel, rooms were very nice and quite noise free for being so close to RV’s square where they play live music everyday

    All good

    Location / breakfast / view from the room

    The AC in room 369. The ceiling was so low that we got the cold air right on us in the bed… Unbearable. The room was very small

    9VasváriPosted on: 10-13-2024

    The breakfast was great, many options. I missed vegetables but there was a big variety in fruits in compensation. All the staff were nice and attentive. The location was nice, although the beach close by wasn’t good for swimming. Restaurants nearby are great.
