Due to the tripadvisor reviews we really expected more than we got. Firstly, our room was not clean (dusty, cobwebs, ...), secondly, the staff could not give us any information about sights, shows, restaurants and did not even have a city map, thirdly, the wireless connection was not working in our room, only in the lobby area. The location is... more

We spent 2 nights in this lovely place located right in the historical city centre Rua do Carmo. Extremely friendly staff and owner. Excellent service quality-price. We belive this is the best place to stay if one has only couples of days visiting this city. You can walk everywhere in Pelourinho and there is a wonderful bay view from the... more

As an experienced worldwide traveler (woman), I can highly recommend a stay at the Solar do Carmo. Mid October 2007, on my trip through Brazil, I spent 5 nights there and I would definitely go back. The Hotel is comfortable and within walking distance from the central square in Pelourinho (historic center of the old town). I had a nice,... more

The room had a plenty of electrical points, a socket for the internet, a good air conditoning unit and a powerful hairdryer in the bathroom. The hotel... more

We booked by an travel agency from... more

This place is vastly overpriced, souless and tomb-like. A fine example of Internet pictures that lie. The cheaper rooms on the first floor have windows that are nailed shut and a strong musty odor of backed up drains. This uptight Italian owner deals with naive or irresponsible travel agencies who have not slept here and are dealing with one-time travelers.... more
