Place is old and sorely in the need of renovation! The toilet back up and was full of fecal matter and we had to move to another room. The other room looks like it had not been renovated for 40 years. They had rugs on the floor that were dirty and smelled like feet. Nobody! Not a single staff member could speak anything other than Portuguese! The only good thing was the breakfast, but it was overcrowded!

Hotel bem localizado, a vista é deslumbrante. O atendimento é ótimo, muito prestativo o funcionário Edson. Os funcionários são simpáticos, atendem bem. O prédio está um pouco desgatado precisando reformas. O café da manhã (pequeno almoço) precisa melhorar um pouco. Mas é um bom hotel, recomendo.

O hotel proporciona estadas muito confortáveis. Porém, o melhor bé sia equipe de atendimento. São excelentes, prestativos, atenciosos, educados e espirituosos. Um show. Gostaria de destacar, sem diminuir nem um tantinho os demais, as pessoas do Edson e do Márcio, com quem pude interagir mais. Muito obrigado e espero voltar

Não é ruim, mas esta abaixo do nivel do hotel

Adoramos a redes de hoteis da Vila Galé, mas o de salvador é o que menos gostamos, não senti uma limpeza absoluta no banheiro logo quando entrei, o check in demorou mais que o necessário e o antendente parece perdido, o café da manha foi bem decepcionante, haviam poucas opções e essas não eram recolocadas, a não ser que fosse solicitado, isso às 8 horas da manhã, a vista do lado de fora da parte do café da manha é maravilhosa e a localização nos atendeu bem, no entanto, não havia comercios por perto e os proprios funcionários nao recomendaram que saissemos a pé naquela região. De resto foi tudo tranquilo

Bom hotel quatro estrelas

De frente para o mar, quartos grandes e ótima ducha no banheiro, bom serviço de limpeza, funcionários cordiais e prestativos e buffet de R$ 80. Tem piscina de frente para o mar mas até a metade da tarde tem sombra, o que é comum na orla de Ondina. Em frente há uma galeria com lanchonete gourmet e lavanderia expressa.
