Very basic, lacking items like cups
"The hotel is dated, in poor repair. Only one of the two elevators was working. The room had nothing in it, no cups, soap, etc. completely bare except bedding and towels. The safe was missing its door. View was of construction."

Although we were warned that Salvador was a dangerous place, we did not experience anything that made us uneasy. There was a visible police presence that made us feel safe.

If you are from the northern hemisphere, consider bringing a small sun parasol for extended touring on foot; also sunscreen.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

You have to be careful as a tourist in Brazil in general. You have to be aware of your surroundings and to not make yourself a target for thieves. Traffic in Salvador is crazy, motor bikes and people are crazy drivers.

5/5 - Excellent

Salvador has so much energy and the people were friendly, but be cautious
