Top Rio Branco Palace Hotel Reviews

Fera Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Worth every dollar/ euro! I travel a lot for work in Asia, Africa and Europe, and have spent my fair share in many properties. The Fera hotel is simply gorgeous and its staff are amazing. From the warm, welcoming and professional team at reception to the cooks and waiters offering sumptuous breakfasts and lunch each day to the maids who left no detail overlooked while cleaning our room to the rooftop bartender who kept us hydrated and happy each afternoon through sunset. The building itself has been lovingly restored. We loved the details of our Superior room and its views of the city; the eye-catching and beautifully designed common areas (lobby, restaurant, rooftop pool); the incredible sunset views from the rooftop each evening; and even small details like the fragrant satchels of lavender left next to our pillows during each evening's downturn service. The hotel itself is ideally located in the Old Town with fantastic restaurants nearby and only 10 minutes from the Barra beach neighborhood. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Fasano Salvador

8/10 Good

"Great. Recommended. Cheese was super."

Casa do Amarelindo

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a gem. In the heart of Pelourinho finding such an authentic, well maintained and beautiful place was totally surprising. It is highly recommended."

Laranjeiras Hostel

8/10 Good

"Great value and comfy as solo woman traveler. Helpful and responsive staff. The bathrooms stay clean even though they’re shared with the other women on the floor. Breakfast is simple. As a vegetarian I stacked up on the fruits and they cook fresh eggs. My hostel roommates were nice and from other places in the world. 24 hour service and the taxi was helpful when I arrived at 1:30am to Salvador. There are nice common areas to meet other people. It would be nice for Lanranjeiras to have games on hand for people to play. And there would be music into the night but I didn’t mind but something to consider if you’re sensitive to sound. The AC unit works great and kept the room very cool. Overall, this was a great stay."

Origem Bahia

10/10 Excellent

"Great place! Great deal. Clean, safe, nice breakfast, wonderful staff, hot water in shower, & smack in the heart of Pelhourino. So yes, be prepared for weekend music outside window until midnight & then some street noise. But was fine for me. (No elevator but staff help carry stuff upstairs.) I'd gladly stay again."

Bahiacafe Hotel

8/10 Good

"The big win for this hotel is the location, in the heart of the historic district. It's incredibly easy to get around on foot to many of the top visitor sights and sites as well as some great restaurants across different price points. It's also excellent value and the staff are really great and incredibly helpful and pro-active."

CASADALUCIA POUSADA

8/10 Good

"Exceptional and kind owner and staff. They were good listeners, informative about area and safety, engaging, and caring. Americans and Europeans should learn more about cultural and living standards before going so as not to be shocked by room layouts and bathroom designs and bed placement as well as lack of face cloths. Also, lack of screened windows. Refrigeration prep and ice buildup are concerns. I was very pleased with the flexibility of owner and staff. They all showed concern and looked after my travel companion and me. I loved the location and access to a myriad of transportation, recreation, culture, cafes, shopping, entertainment, educational sources and resources. Overall, my stay was magnificent! Muito obrigado. - C. Jerome Woods"
