Fantastic posada in the Pelorinho (old town) in Salvador. Stayed here for five days in Feb 2012 and really enjoyed the stay. Staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful. Rooms are great, worth upgrading to a room with a sea view and balcony if you can. Location is about 5 mins walk from the main square (slightly steep hills). Another... More

stayed here for only 2 nights but had a fantastic experience. (one has to stay through a tuesday night) The bay view is very quiet and a great view. Special thanks to Philip at the front desk who was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Visiting Salvador and this place made my trip to Brazil most memorable. More

A cozy Pousada in the center of Salvador, very close to the Pelourino. We were on the first floor in a room with view on the sea. The rooms are clean and nice with Air Condition. The Breakfast is very good and you can have it on a wonderful terrace on the sea. In the evening there are near a... More

Located in historical side of town, so good for sight seeing. This isn't a hotel with too many luxuries. It is just a cosy bed and breakfast. The rooms are spacious and very well maintained! They have around 2 laptops which you can use if you want to check email etc (free of cost). Loved the breakfast floor which had... More

This charming pousada in a quiet street has clever designed rooms. Most rooms have lovely balconies with a great bayview. The staff is very kind and helpful, most speak English. And they offer all day long excellent coffee in their beautiful, spacious lobby. Wifi works fine and is free. The good (basic) breakfast is served at the rooftop with an... More

Speaking as an experienced world traveler and a repeat visitor to Brazil, I found the Pousada do Pilar to be one of the worst stays I've had anywhere on the planet. Not because of the accommodations, which were better than average, or because of the location, which was okay though not spectacular. I'm white and my girlfriend is black. I... More

I remained for almost a week at Pousada do Pilar with my wife while traveling in my honeymoon. The stay was good, the staff is very polite and helpful, they gave us lots of tips about where to go and how to go. Even Pelourinho is not a quiet and clean place to be, it's a postal card from Salvador.... More

We stayed at Pousada do Pilar for 3 nights in Jan 2011 with two very young children. We arrived late night from the Amazon and as soon as we came to our room - we were delighted. It was large and open and we had a giant balcony. We had one of the suites with the ocean view and there... More

When travelling I'm happy if my accommodation offers three basic things: a comfortable bed to have a good rest, a clean decent bathroom to clean up, and a good breakfast to start the day the right way. If the place is nice and well located, that's a plus but not a requirement. The bed I had in this pousada was... More
