Pousada Estrela do Mar - Salvador (BA) — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Salvador

I stayed for two weeks with a group of college students. We could not have been happier with our choice. The rooms were comfortable with lots of closet space and good comfy beds. But I think the highlight for us was, along with the warm hospality of everyone who was part of Estrella, the hammocks. On our down time, the hammocks were always there for us. ||||The breakfast was superb and was a luxury that I will definitely miss: After all, freshly baked cake, just out the oven, first thing in the morning, is not an indulgence many of us are privy to on a regular basis. But rest assured, the cake comes with eggs, bread, freshly squeezed juice, ham, cheese .... It was a welcomed feast to help us start our long and challenging day||||But most of all, the staff is wonderful. Nubia. Daniel, Juao, and all the rest of the staff where wonderfully accommodating and hospitable. They were always helpful with Ubers and varios suggestions. ||||Estrella is in a great location -- just a quick bus ride down to the historical district in a lively and safe location -- right on the beach with lots of restaurants and a happening street life. ||||If you are looking for lurury, this is not the place for you, but if you are looking for a clean, simple, but cute little B&B, you can't do much better than Estrella. ||||Thanks for taking such good care of...

It's the people who make the place, and this pousada easily deserves 5 stars for its staff. Sean the owner and all staff members are extremely nice and helpful, and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. |Being a minute from the beach and from some of Salvador's best restaurants, the location is also fantastic. Breakfast is great as well. |Unfortunately, it is the structure and infrastructure of the building that make this lovely place less attractive. 4 of the rooms are located just above an open staircase from the reception and kitchen (and a 5th room is just next to them). This means that when the reception phone rings at 6:30AM, or when someone moves dishes in the kitchen at 7AM making lots of noise - you easily wake up. And I could live with the nuisance of not being allowed to throw toilet paper in the toilets, but recurring problems with the hot water are just annoying - I had a problem on my first night that was quickly fixed on the next morning, however on my last night - again I had no hot...
