Pousada Tia Glória - Morro de São Paulo BA — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Valença

My husband and I chose this Pousada because it was the only vacancy left on the island during Carnaval. It was old, run down, and smelly. There were 3 beds in our room. One double and two singles. There was a Febreze like sprayer in the room that sprayed a scent every 30 minutes. By minute 25, you knew why it was in the room.

We stayed here for one night having decided we didn't want to return to Salvador. As it was the week after new year, we were worried there would be nothing available. This place was available so we went and checked it out and it looked fine. Interestingly paying in person by cash was more expensive than via booking sites.
