Ilha dos Frades Vacation Rentals

This is a really nice hotel near the center of town (although not near any tourist sites). The rooms are great, the staff is friendly and helpful. It's near the Metro. The usually-included breakfast has a good variety of Brazilian and other western dishes, although during "rush hour" they are not replaced as often when emptied, and the fruit "juices" are not actual pressed fruit, but oversweet processed varieties. Also, one of the 3 elevators was out of order for some of my stay, which...

Everything about this Pousada was great! I have to admit, perhaps my positive experience was amplified by the fact that I had just spent 7 horrible days at a gross hostel (yes, hostel, not hotel). But, Pousada da Mangueira definitely delivered! The manager, Claudio, was awesome. He had a car waiting for me at the airport. When I arrived, he was incredibly service oriented. Sylvia, the head housekeeper / cook / etc, was awesome. She was always around to help with anything I needed (a glass of...

For those who like a hotel with character. Great location within quick walking distance to Mercado Modelo and also the best of Pelourinho.

The staff greeted us with a detailed overview of things to see and do in Pelorinho and a coupon for two free drinks at the rooftop bar. We went up there right away. Spectacular view over the harbor. Also from our room. Huge king bed and charming room with new bath, including an immense "shower for two," with a rain shower. Huge breakfast included. A great place. Driving there is somewhat hair-raising up and down tiny cobble-stoned streets and getting to the parking garage, through...

Close to the water. Some rooms have views. Pool was in good shape.

I had an amazing stay here. The staff is amazing! The property is beautiful. The rooms are good, nothing too fancy. The breakfast was excellent, with so much variety. It's in a nice area; there's a bus stop and lots of shops nearby. The only issue I had was with ubers canceling all the time because the hotel is on a one-way street making it more difficult to get to. Also, I wanted to do laundry thinking there would be a self service laundry room, but it's actually a service they offer for crazy...

Stop who cares. You’re wasting my time. Stop stop stop

Staff was friendly and attentive. Security even waited outside with me for the Uber, which was cheap and made staying at the hotel even more attractive because of the great rate I got.

Great location for those who intend to stay in the Pelourinho area.

Hotel Villa Bahia is beautiful! It is an old mansion that's been renovated and turned into a hotel. We stayed in the "Cochin" room (all the rooms have names instead of numbers and come with old fashioned keys/locks that are most likely original). The room is basically a duplex suite. On the first floor, you walk into the sitting room with a tv, then there's the bedroom with an open air bathroom. Up the stairs on the second level, there is a private sundeck with a little bit of a view of the...

Great hotel. Staff was friendly. Restaurant had a good breakfast in the morning! Rooftop with pool and bar was VERY nice. Only small negative thing is that is there is nothing close to the hotel in the way of restaurants/bars. You have to walk down a steep hill 10-12min away.

Great personnel great service.

Straight forward hotel, no issues

We had a great day here and would definitely come back again.

It was a very nice stay. Everything was very well.
