Absolutely beautiful surroundings and buildings around with plenty of history and character. The staff were welcoming, helpful, and informative. Absolutely amazing experience. There are areas which are not safe to go around but are clearly mentioned during the welcome, so we were well informed by the staff. The city is beautiful, and we definitely recommend the tours that are on offer. Top recommendation we would have is the tours of the churches and local areas, as there is lots of history to learn of not only how Salvador became, but also the roots of Brazil. We absolutely loved the whole experience.

Loved this place! Wish I had a longer stay!
Perfectly located property in Pelourinho. Wish I could have stayed longer. So Many great things to say about this hotel. The staff is great(everyone I encountered was helpful and pleasant), the decor is very tasteful and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast included was a plus. I’d definitely stay here again if I visited. Good walking distance from a lot of the cool shops and sites to see. Highly recommend!!!

This hotel is in a very central location in the pelhourinho with easy walking distance to all the main attractions of the historical centre. The hotel itself is very comfortable with all the amenities you could expect from a good townhouse hotel in a historical building. It has loads of charm. Best of all are the staff who are genuinely warm and friendly and helped js with whatever we asked right through from the time we booked to when we checked out. If I were to go back to Salvador again - and I really hope I do - then I wouldn’t look any further than Casa Do Amarelindo.

This property sits in the heart of Pelourinho, where there is always excitement! As I've visited this city before but I stayed in another pousada, however in Casa Do Amarelindo is more accessible to the towns square with live music, the drummers, restaurants and stores with the works of locals artists, it's in a wonderful and memorable location. The hotel itself was perfect for me! I was a solo traveler and the staff took amazing care of me and even helped me to seek medical attention for a foot injury. Such caring and sincere people who made a loving mark on my heart! And I'll be forever grateful. In closing, I suggest that you strongly consider this amazing hotel and caring staff for your visit to Pelourinho!!

I wish I could live here. But let me be a bit practical: 1. Its right in Pelourinho, the "historic center of Salvador", so you are steps away from food, art and, of course, history that makes Bahia, Bahia. 2. Because its in Pelourinho, there's no Uber or Lyft BUT the hotel has a network of taxi drivers that they will call for you and make sure the drivers know exactly where theyre going (a bonus if you dont speak Portuguese or are concerned about safety). I needed to request a taxi to take me to my PCR test. Not only did the driver run into to the lab to make sure I was in the right spot, he waited for me just in case it was a quick turn around) 3. From the owners on down, the staff at the Amarelindo take service to the next level. From the time I received my welcome letter with check-in details to the moment they put me into my car home, I have never felt so well taken care of - and I travel a lot. They also helped me book my PCR test and reminded me to call them if I needed someone to translate. 4. Food is delicious. Youre going to run around Salvador for acarajes and the like ( hit up Roma Negra for some bomb vegetarian), but on those days you cant bring yourself to leave your balcony (and those days will be many), you're not going to go wrong with ordering room service. 5. Decor. As soon as I stepped in, I was in love. Salvador is called the largest African city outside of Africa and artwork of the Casa reflects it. 6. Heart. Thats all I can say. Heart.

AMAZING hotel and wonderful staff!!!
Everything about our stay exceeded any expectations I had going into the trip. I'm a current Hilton Diamond and Bonvoy-Marriott Titanium and stay in hotels for about 1/3 of every year. Going to a boutique style hotel was a bit of a leap for me because every time that I've tried to go outside of my loyalty programs I've been disappointed. However, everything about this stay was as perfect as it could have been. Didier and Gilles welcomed us the same as if we were visiting their home. I guess it sort of is, as I believe the property only has ten rooms. The check-in process was seamless...most of it was done prior to arrival because of their excellent communication. Our bags were taken to our room for us, which was great because there were only stairs to get us there. :) The room was spacious and comfortable. The bed was HUGE (probably the size of two king beds) and the bathroom and rainfall shower were much better than expected. The breakfast each morning was outstanding...fresh fruit, made to order eggs and breakfast meats, wonderful pastries, and outstanding service. The one night we ate dinner at the hotel was also a remarkable experience! The pool is small...not for swimming...but the views were great! If my girlfriend and I ever return to Salvador this will be the only hotel we book.

We had the pleasure to stay at this hidden gem for 2 nights. We were pleasantly surprised on how comfortable and warm it felt from the minute we walked in. The hotel is super clean, comfortable and it has impeccable service. They offer an incredible and extensive breakfast. The restaurants offers authentic regional food as well as international favorites, the food is simply delicious. The flavors are well balanced and flavorful. The bar and pool overlooks the bay and it feels amazing to have skit outside with a nice bottle of wine or cocktail and enjoy the view and atmosphere. We were truly enchanted by the coziness of the place and how welcome we felt by the owners and staff. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and we’ll definitely be staying here again next time we visit the Pelourinho.

They offered us two caiprinhas as welcome drinks. The room had a beautiful view of the All saints Bay. Our room had calidornia King bed!! You can have food at the swimming pool as well. And my oh my their food!! Letr me start with breakfast. They dont do the usual buffet style breakfast. They make fresh food for you (freshly cut fruits, fresh fruit juice, eggs howver you want, coffee, fresh breads, carrot cake, banana cake....etc.). Then comes their regular meals - delicious. Honestly the best meals we have on our 10 day trip in Brazil. I can say this enough.. but just book this place if you are coming to Salvador. They are amazing!!

We visited Salvador for 5 days; we enjoyed the sights around Pelourinho, the tour of the city and surrounding areas, and our day trips to Praia do Forte and Ilha dos Frades and Itaparica Island. I should say, however, that our stay at Casa do Amarelindo highly contributed to a most pleasant visit to Salvador. The location, right in the middle of the Pelourinho district was very convenient. The room we stayed in had a wonderful view of the lower part of the city and the open ocean. The breakfasts were truly outstanding and the staff was always pleasant and most helpful. A nice touch was the occasional contacts with the owner who made sure everything was right and satisfactory to his guests. Special mention to the assistance provided by hotel staff in communications with a tour company to resolve a problem with a forgotten item during a tour. Additionally, I would highly recommend taking the optional transfers arranged by the hotel to and from the airport. The drivers were most punctual and accommodating. If visiting Salvador in the future, I would certainly stay again at Casa do Amarelindo. It’s a lovely place.

From Los Angeles California Willie, Tony and Johanna we want to thank you all for everything! What a lovely hotel full of history in a wonderful part of Salvador, the Pelourinho. Excellent hotel. The hotel has an excellent location. Receptionists speak various languages staff is available to help 24/7. The Service was excellent! Decor of hotel is amazing. We would certainly stay again and recommend. Visitors are very privileged to stay in this remarkable place that offers so much history. The location is excellent. The breakfast is wonderful. Keeping up a hotel like this is not easy, so we want to thank everyone in the hotel started from Gillis & Didier to the cooks. Especially thank you to our favorite person Helder! We love your caipirinha’s and thank you for always making them the best in Salvador Bahia! Breakfast was served at the table rather than a buffet, a delicious selection of courses and plenty of it! Wonderful! We know of too many places all over the world that do serve breakfast on the table, however, nothing like this hotel! You will not find any other place like this one in Salvador. Rare! From the time we arrived at the airport to the time we left Salvador Bahia the entire time was exceptional. So, we know many of the best hotels. Through the world this one ranks highly number one! We hope the hotel has a very long life. The Staff is wonderful, and they go beyond their duties to help their guesses. Thank you to Lucas, Luis, Marcos, Marcello, Fernando, Jackso

There are a lot of nice things to say about this property, but I want to start with the shower -- which was phenomenal. It's takes a minute a so for the hotel water to kick in, and maybe a few additional minutes before it is in full force (note: you don't actually need much hot water in Salvador's climate), but it's worth the wait. It's like a spa experience, with the huge rainfall showerhead, the incredible water pressure, and all the options for having the water hit you from various angles. Perfection. Maybe the next thing to note is the oversized bed -- more like a king and a half. The building is old (and right on a busy pedestrian street in the old town) but the rooms are quite modern. Great a/c. Everything works beautifully, including WiFi. I had a room with a balcony with a bay view (partially obstructed by trees from the lovely little garden). I was on the same level as the small, refreshing infinity pool, which has the same views but unobstructed. There's a small gym too. I had a great dinner in the restaurant one night and breakfast is excellent. Staff were all really friendly and professional. Such a nice boutique experience. Pretty perfect in every way.

Thank you so much for your nice review of your stay in one of our DeLuxe rooms. We are so happy that you enjoyed our Deluxe bathroom as we are very proud of them with their unique massage tower, huge shower head, granite bench and special decoration. Nice that you also enjoyed our SuperKing-Size bed, and other specific element of our DeLuxe rooms in addition with the bay view. Thank you also for your nice comment on our restaurant Pelô Bistrô. I know that most of our guest want to check restaurant outside but we are very proud of our restaurant production and the peaceful garden patio worth a visit. So happy also that our team met your expectation for service and kindness. Thank you for them.

Most amazing place, especially during carnaval
I really loved this place, I was there during carnaval 2019 with my girlfriend from Porto Alegre. I think Bahia is one of the most amazing places in Brazil. The hotel was friendly, helpful, understanding and I could not say much more. The people there are so friendly and amazing that I will be back to salvador again. Thanks to all the staff especially the bar tenders :-)

We are so happy that your loved your stay at Casa do Amarelindo for carnival..!! For sure it seems that you also fully took advantage of our location just on Batatinha circuit (old carnival style) allowing our guests to sip caipirinhas while watching the bands from our lobby’s armchairs..!! Once again, thank you for choosing our hotel..!!

Wonderful stay, wonderful staff!
I picked Casa do Amarelindo based on the NYT review, and it exceeded my expectations. Let me give you three reasons to go: First, the physical property. Smack in the middle of charming and chaotic Pelourinho in Salvador, and it's an oasis of calm, tranquil beauty. Perfectly maintained, tastefully decorated, pleasingly air-conditioned. My room was #12, on the third floor, was stunning. A play on yellow and blue, with the largest bed I've ever seen in my life - literally 8' wide, covered in crisp white linens, and a stunning view of the Bahia de Todos os Santos from the balcony. The bathroom was huge, with a whole spa shower experience and bronze Bizzaza tiles. Second, the staff. Even better than the physical location, the staff is amazing. Friendly to a fault, they always introduce themselves by name, and take the time to chat. Carlos at the front desk gave me the most thorough overview of the upper city that I could ever need - it served me for all three days. Rafa at the bar is a charmer - take him up on his offer to invent a caipirinha for you. You won't go wrong. And the breakfast waiter (I'm sorry, I don't remember his name) was unerringly attentive. And the handyman who tried valiantly to salvage my broken iPad, Obrigado! Third: The food. Breakfast is amazing, and will keep you going all day. The scrambled eggs are moist and buttery. The jam is different every day. Breakfast will keep you going well past lunch. GO! GO! GO!

Thank you for your review. We usually do not have any comment regarding our towels and we apologize very much if any towel or bathrobe was not meeting our standards. We will investigate this accident and we regret that you didn’t mention this problem during your stay as it would have been solved at once. Our floors are made of Brazilian waxed hardwood and yes, they can show traces of time… quite expectable in a colonial building may be.
