The staff was extremely accommodating. The pool area was small but designed very well utilizing modern style techniques. In the evening the stairwell and hall lighting was motion centered. The rooms were modern and minimalist. Everything seemed clean and exceptionally well maintained. The TV is a flat screen on the wall but quite small. Also, the wall separating the room... More

Its started off well. A pleasant and hospitable greeting/check-in and first impressions were definitely good. But then..... dinner in the restaurant was mediocre at best. I had tempura (very oily) and white fish as a main course (severely over cooked!). No salt and pepper on the table. No napkin. I ordered a tonic, but they didn't have tonic. And there... More

Dear Stephen, I am truly sorry your experience at the Zank was not as good as it could have been. We have addressed the situation with the chef and assured that this will not happen again. It would be wonderful if we could welcome you at our restaurant on your next visit. We strive to offer the best experience possible... More

Fabulous design and facilities and all with an amazing view. We stayed in Room 2 in the old part of the building and whilst it was a little small and we had lots of luggage there was so much storage space and such a spacious bathroom that we managed perfectly. A joy to have such sea views from both the... More

The hotel was really pleasant to stay in. From getting a coconut juice welcome drink, to the simple design and clean and comfortable room, we really felt the Zank Hotel was a great deal and perfect way to spend our time in the city. Our room had an amazing view out over the water. You will need to take taxis... More

I originally wanted to stay in the classe room, unfortunately the last night was not available. So instead of moving from room to room I decided to stay in the... More

Location in Rio Vermelho (Salvador's bohemian area) is good, close to very good restaurants and with easy access to the north beaches. Public areas are very testefully decorated, the small swimming pool on the roof top has amazing views and having breakfast outside, overlooking the ocean is quite nice. Breakfast itself is good (a la carte), but not excellent, lacks... More

Those who seek a more intimate hotel in Salvador have at Zank a good option. Although it charges a high a mount of money for brazilian, and let's say most part of the world it has its worth. For almost $250 per night, small amenities, as a ipod/iphone music at each room or a bigger flat screen tv are essencial.... More

The hotel is modern, nice, functional. However, the rooms do not have balconies, Plus for some of them there is no privacy unless you draw the curtains which defeats the purpose of having a view... The pool is nice but small. However the view of the sea in the distance from up there is really nice. The breakfast is OK,... More
