We stayed at the property overnight for the convenience of not having to drive directly to the coastal resort where we would spend two weeks.  The Hotel in itself is adequate and well appointed. Had stayed at the same property in 2003, when it was under a different brand, since then, having had renovation and taken over by a Portuguese... More

Hotel is located in Ondina neighborhood, which has no tourist attractions or good restaurants (for that, def try Rio Vermelho or Pelourinho). Also there's no usable beach nearby (for that, try Barra neighborhood or stay outskirts Salvador, like Praia do Forte, Flamengo or Imbassaí) From Ondina You'll need taxi for everything, theres nothing within walking distance from here. But if... More

After the hustle and bustle of Rio beachfront hotels, Vila Gale Salvador was a very nice change. I selected this hotel after reading tons of reviews on Trip Adivsor before I went. This hotel is located in a residential neighborhood, in a dead-end street. Nice and quiet. It is small - 8 floors - compared to many. I particularly liked... More

Well located near main attractions, nice and espacious rooms (which I loved!), breakfast with a good choice of fruits, breads, hot meals, and local food (for me was almost lunch all together!). Pool is small for the size of the hotel but was never crowded, so was not a problem. Pool bar has very nice employees, who made really good... More

I got a great rate for this hotel, so it´s really enjoyable.But it´s not a 5 star hotel in my opinion. The breakfast could be much better with more variety of breads, yougurts and so one.The property looks in many aspects tired.The staff is gentle and warm.The gym although it´s located in a very pretigious position has old equipments, there´s...

+ if you are on the ocean side, it is quiet and all you hear is the ocean +/- buffet in the restaurant is ok and tasty, though the presentation and especially the worn down dining area are a downside +/- location is what you can see on any map, not in the center wich means you pay for the... More

Used the hotel for a trip to Morro de Sao Paulo , and liked. A little decay,but in a nice location ( ask for an ocean view). Breakfast very fatty but with a lot of fruits. I recommend the restaurant Amado near the marina in cidade baixa, very expensive but almost flawless! More

Stayed a weekend here while visiting Salvador with friends. The hotel is clean, modern and has a nice breakfast in the morning. We even had dinner there the night we checked in because we were all so tired from the flight. It was actually very good. Staff was helpful and we had a pleasant stay. We had booked because the...

The hotel in general is declining as well. In the days I spent there, they were making small improvements. However, much more is needed. Cleanliness was not the best. Good breakfast and beautiful view. Frankly, not worth the price they charge. By visiting the "pelourinho", do not miss eating at garden of delights (Jardim das delicias), a must see restaurant. More
