The staff are fantastic and the breakfast is fresh and tasty. The location is very close to Pelhourinho and there are people drumming and dancing in the street which is lovely to watch. It does go fairly late into the night through so bring earplugs for when you want to sleep. The room had plenty of space for our luggage and hanging space, plus a safe for passports. Security is good as there is a gate with a buzzer that remains locked. The aircon worked really well.

Be warned that there is a very steep hill to walk both up and down to get to the main center so if you plan to get around on foot make sure that you are fit and able to do so, or take an Uber :)

This property is lovely - and close to all the key attractions in Salvador which made this a great choice. We were arriving late in the evening so I let them know what time. They sent me a voice message with all important information to know before we arrive. All the staff here are very friendly and welcoming - it was raining one morning at breakfast and a lady from the kitchen came out with an umbrella to take me back to our room so I didn't get wet! For those who are concious about safety- the hotel is in a secure complex for extra piece of mind (although we had no issues). We would definitely stay here again!

Good location in the centre and less than five minutes from Pelourinho. Staff there are all lovely and friend and let us leave bags at reception before check-in and after checkout at no extra cost. Good space for pool and relaxing in the sun. Great breakfast starting early enough (7am) and food always topped up as it ran out, plus variety day to day. Beds comfortable, shower temperature perfect, rooms cleaned daily and aircon functions well, easily and is not noisy in the slightest!

I liked everything

This Pousada exceeded expectations. The location is perfect, as it's just a couple of minutes from the Pelourinho, the rooms are a good size and has a nice view of Pelo, the breakfast is delicious and the team are fantastic. Thank you all for making my stay a fantastic one. Claudio and Gabriel thank you for your recommendations. Claudio is very knowledgeable and helpful and it is through him I was able to do so much. I can't wait to return.

Breakfast was very good, with a large variety of juices and fruits. Location was convenient for visiting Pelourinho. The pool was a nice addition. Claudio, the manager, was extremely helpful. His knowledge of English was a huge plus, and his patience to provide us with ample information about places to visit and how to reach them was second to none. He is a solid asset for this property.

The breakfast area was small in the morning if many guests showed up at the same time. This seemed even more of an issue when it was raining.

I certainly enjoyed my stay at Pousada da Mangueira. I mostly would like to mention the staff that was really cheerful, friendly and helpful. Safety was great with 24 hour reception and a fenced door that needed to be opened by the receptionist upon leaving and entering. The Pousada possesses some nice gardens, a pool with a view of the Pelorinho district and an open air breakfast area. My room was no frills but clean and comfortable. The location is ideal for a short visit to Salvador, whilst the street being a little sketchy, it is still safe to walk to the historical center and thus very convenient.

The staff at Pousada da Mangueira make the experience! Felipe and Claudio were so incredibly helpful with helping my friend and I map out our days in Salvador - and enjoying that our experience was as safe and meaningful as possible.

The only thing that would have been better is if the WiFi in our hotel room worked. Unfortunately, it only worked for us in the common area.

Claudio, working in reception is an inexhaustible source of information, :). At arrival he gave me so many information, I could easily stay in Salvador at least 10 days. Thank you, Claudio. Rooms are normal rooms in 3 star hotels, quite small I can say (though enough for 1 person), but the view of the old town Pelourinho through my little balcony was inspiring, :). Also nice view from pool, on the same old part of old town.

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming The hostel is also 5 minutes walk from Pelourinho Square so perfect for exploring the old town of Salvador. The breakfast was good and I liked the fresh fruit and juices lthough I thought some of the things could be labelled as they are traditional Bahian dishes and a foreigner obviously won't know what they are (sweet or savoury).

I had asked for a room with a double bed and only got a single bed, but this wasn't a big deal.

The location is excellent for enjoying Pelourinho, and the reception gives you all the main info you need. The view is fantastic, and given how packed houses are in the historicalcentre, this is a real luxury. The barman knows how to make a robust caipirinha!

Rooms are tiny, much tinier than expected. We booked a superior, but I did not notice any difference from the other rooms besides being on the second floor with a nicer view. Not a problem for us, but if you enjoy your bacon in the morning, that was not an option.
