Mal functioning air conditioning in all hotel, very hot, food was really bad, molded curtains, small room, please do not be deluded by pictures! View from room was not as announced by hotel. Very expensive for services provided. Bad neighborhood.

The staff are the best thing about this hotel, particularly Fabiana on the desk and Gabriel on the door. The hotel itself is a bit tired and the location although OK isn't as good as in the old town. Taxis ride the old town is about 20 Reals and takes about 15 mins, bus is 3 Reals per person and... More

It is a dated building and rooms have tired decoration. However for that, it is has an amazing oceanfront views, absolutely the best breakfast ever, decent wi-fi and terrific value for money. Please be careful with wlaking in the area after police patrolling stops.

Not a new hotel, but good for what it costs. Nice hotel, confy and clean rooms. Good breakfast, one of best pineaples I ever eat! Superb food on pool terrace just across barra beach. Used it as a stopover night traveling to Maraú, and will do it again for sure.

Steps away from supermarkets, drugstore, hospital, bus stop, affordable restaurants, clothes shop, in front of the beach, what else!!! My room had a view of the bay, very relaxing. I could sleep with the sound if the waves!! Its personel very helpful and polite.Ask for Felipe, on the counter desk, he can be your private tour guide, very nice !!... More

Lots of seafood restaurants in walking distant with locals and tourists alike. You can take a cab or bus down the coast to sample beaches of... More

Excellent location - couldnt get better. A bit run down as far as appearances go, but one gets what one pays for. Reasonably priced, clean ( most important requirement as far as I am concered), helpful and polite staff, excellent breakfast spread ( in fact the best we had in Brazil). What more could one ask for? I couldn't find... More

Marazul Hotel is a beach front hotel, close to some of Salvador's main attractions. Despite its enviable position and its overall cleanliness, the hotel is below par. It gives the impression of slow decay. It also seems to be understaffed: reception is occasionally manned by only one person, even at peak check-in/check-out times. Lunch and dinner are of acceptable quality... More

They do the basic. They couldn´t suggest any attraction in the city. They don´t show interest in help us. I think they could be more receptive and friendly.
