Amazing ocean views and great breakfast. We watched the sunrise from the pool deck. The beach is walking distance from the hotel. There are plenty of food options nearby.

Great pool and breakfast. The party at the ocean view does go late (3pm) but we slept through it. Location was fun. Paid parking at about $5 a day valet. Vent in bathroom smelled of sewer which was gross. Maybe the trap dried out again and again. Overall great though.

The hotel is located in a good area. There are lots of restaurants and bars walking distance. In addition, the hotel has a great rooftop with a beautiful view to the ocean and you can watch the sunset. Luiza from the reception desk has provided great recommendation. Breakfast is great, but I would recommend to be more attentive with the room since it was cleaned around 5 pm and the toilet paper wasn't enough for one night.

The facilities were run down. The paint was chipping in the bathroom and my roof was leaking and dropped water on the floor. Some of the staff were not very kind.

I enjoyed myself at Novotel in Salvador where I stayed for 1 week. Great location with plenty of restaurants and music and great buffet and very kind staff who went out of their way to accommodate me. There is a shuttle car that takes guests up the hill where the hotel is located. Great rooftop bar and pool with beautiful sunset views. They are busy painting some floors of the hotel but very accommodating if you are uncomfortable. I can’t wait to return!

In the first day we arrived we went to the swimming pool and there was no towels Available. Someone from the staff said they were bringing but we waited for almost 1 h and they didn’t bring! We had to go all soak to the room! We complained to the receptionist who didn’t do anything! We had ordered drinks that we had to leave behind.

Cheguei 10hrs no hotel e conseguir fazer check-in antecipadamente, Daniel nos atendeu muito bem, em relação ao quarto é um pouco antigo, pegamos um sem reforma, mas atendeu as necessidades, e o café é muito bom, hotel tem uma vista incrível!! Estacionamento é a parte, paga R$30/dia.

O hotel está sendo reformado. O quarto é pequeno é o banheiro também. O que detestei mesmo foi o barulho do hotel. Qualquer pessoa que passe na porta parece que está dentro do quarto. Elevador abrindo se ouve também dentro do quarto… Além de gente arrastando cadeira no andar de cima ou do lado. Simplesmente qualquer barulho parece amplificado. Eu como arquiteta tenho propriedade pra falar que a acústica é simplesmente péssima para que tem sono ruim que nem o meu. Infelizmente tive uma noite péssima de sono. O café da manhã em compensação estava fantástico.

Quer acordar com barulho de obra 8h no fds? Chegar no quarto de hotel e a lixeira tá cheia de cabelo e nenhum dia a camareira aparecer pra fazer a limpeza? Cheio de malas e não quer concierge? Até porque lá não tem. O Novotel vai combinar com você. Pior hotel que fiquei neste último ano.
