Pousada Salvador

It’s in a good location, and the people there are wonderful. Great service, too.

I was on the road and needed somewhere to rest before setting off again the next day. I paid 120,00 to stay here, and the condition of the place was really disappointing. The sheets were stained, the walls were dirty, and the minibar was so rusty it looked like it could give you tetanus. The rooms need a lot of attention, and I can’t recommend this place, not even for one night. The owner was very rude. He doesn’t seem able to look at the place through a customer’s eyes, even though the establishment is falling apart, and he insults people who have paid to stay there. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

The employees were great, but the inn was awful. You can tell the owner doesn’t want to invest in it. There’s no hot water, Wi-Fi, or breakfast. The milk in what little food there was had gone bad. The advertising is misleading, and the place looks nothing like the photos. It’s dirty and neglected, with an ugly bathroom, broken sinks, cold water only, and dangerous electrical wiring. I’ve seen towels and sheets on people living on the street in better condition. For 35 Reais, at least you don’t have to sleep outside. I was angry about being misled. They could have just warned people that there was basically nothing there, that it was like a horror movie, and left the choice to us. But no, you get fooled.

We chose this inn because it was close to the beach, even though we found others for the same price. The price was good, but a lot of things were disappointing: breakfast, the cleanliness, and the state of the place. We found it very dirty, and the towels and sheets were stained. The structure needs attention and was in poor, dirty condition. The night receptionist was lovely, very polite and welcoming. He listened to us and gave us tips on things to do around town.
