Our stay at Casa do Amarelindo was great. We arrived during the middle of carnival and the front desk staff was very welcoming provided us with all of the information we needed to get around and enjoy the festivities. The hotel has a great location, a nice pool and lovely restaurant and bar with equally great staff. Big thank you to Luis & Rodrigo for being great hosts. I only wish we had planned to stay for longer.

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.

Location

Center of Pelorinho. Staff very very friendly and helpful, especially the night guard

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.

Very good place and all the staff are very friendly

Great property, convenient location, very welcoming staff.

This is our second time at Casa do Amarelindo. My wife and I stayed there in 2014. And this year we went back with 2 of her sisters and their husbands. Everything was great. The hotel scheduled transfers from and to airport. Tours etc. If you want to stay at Pelourinho area, this is your hotel. Great accommodations. Great location. Friendly staff. I definitely recommend the hotel. Thanks Didier and your team for making our stay special.

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!!

It was the perfect place for a couple looking to explore Salvador. Breakfast was so so. The drinks and food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful!

The owner and the staff were perfect in every detail of our stay. The location was great.

The best ever. Amazing location, great room, but the best is the staff. I've travelled my fair share, but never had a better staff. Forget everywhere else. This place is the must.

I had a great stay at this facility. Staff was very courteous, property was clean and spacious. I booked it twice and had a great stay both times. Owner also introduced himself & was also nice

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.

If you are reading this you should definitely stay at Casa do Amoralindo, it will be one of the best decisions you make. Salvador is a powerful place and the staff at this hotel are incredible and kind. We had dinner on both nights at the hotel and the food is amazing, as are the generous cocktails. A truly brilliant hotel and I wish everyone associated with it every success.

Outstanding hotel! Everything was Excellent. Amazing service, super comfort rooms, pretty charming and beautiful hotel, delicious breakfast. Hotel is well located in the Pelourinho. The area is Beautiful and very secure with high police presence. I definitely will stay again at this lovely hotel.

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.

Casa do Amarelindo is the perfect boutique hotel in the very heart of Salvador's historic center. Checking in and out was a breeze. The hotel is very well-appointed and clean. The included breakfast was healthy, tasty and sufficient. We also enjoyed dinner there as well as at other places recommended by staff within easy walking distance. Wifi functions well. Requesting a quiet room guaranteed sound sleep in this vibrant urban setting. We traveled with another couple and all agreed it would be our 1st choice next trip!

Location was right in the Pelourinho, very convenient. We could sit in the open lobby and watch the street life, which is in Carnaval mode now. Our room was great, with a balcony overlooking the bay. Huge bed snd shower!

The hotel is one of the most comfortable we visited. Best location in the hurt of Palhorinho, the owners cares about you and the staff were very helpful.

The hotel is haven in not so nice Pelourinho and the rest of Salvador. The interior design, the friendliness of staff and the owners are outstanding. Great attention was given to every detail in making the place very special. If you ever go to Salvador this is the place to stay.

Beautiful old converted mansion in a great location in the old cityWonderful staff very helpful and pleasant Great view of the All Saints Bay from the rooftop bar and excellent breakfastLarge/comfortable rooms/ nice bathroomsBeautiful artworks throughout the hotel

i stayed here with my husband and a 15 month old baby for 3 nights and all i can say is - AMAZING!!! The location is just so perfect, you right at the main squares. The customer service is amazing. 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!!

Great little boutique hotel, love the location in the old town. The staff were always helpful and friendly, the owners presence visible and also very nice guy. The first night we could hear the music from across the street however it didn’t bother us. We definitely book again.

I really loved this hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Staff, front desk and restaurant, was very helpful and friendly. Hotel is very well located. Rooms in the back were quiet, even though the street in front of the hotel is very busy with music and pedestrians. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious (including a large bathroom). Staff was very accommodating and patient with our questions and inquiries. I would highly recommend this hotel!

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.

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.

Fabulous place - even managed to get us to the airport in Salvadorian traffic when we were late coming back from a boat tour. Fantastic staff, gorgeous building, and breakfast when you want!!! Just amazing!!

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 :-)
