The Aram Yami Hotel Boutique, with only 6 exclusive suites, is set in a Baroque-style building from the 19th century, the Aram Yamí offers exclusively furnished accommodations, 2 pools, and panoramic views over Todos Os Santos Bay.

There wasn’t anything to fault with the Aram Yami hotel. The staff are absolutely incredible - attentive, informative and knowledgeable. The morning breakfast was superb - thank you to the kitchen staff who were always smiling! We chose the Bahia Suite which was perfect. Super large, comfortable bed with soft pillows, great A/C, separate shower and toilet and a wonderful view out to the pool. The pool area had stunning views across the bay. Complimentary drink and fruits on arrival. Wish we had more time here. Next time!

    This is a charming small hotel. The beautifully restored original building has five meter ceilings, the new wing is attractively designed. Lovely small courtyard with attractive plants, and two really nice open gardens in front. The neighborhood is quite lively, some good bars and restaurants, and less than a minute walk to the beach.

    Casa do Amarelindo sells as a 4 star, but it is a small 5 star boutique hotel. Very nice rooms, very clean, nice bathroom, fantastic small terrace (not sure if all rooms have it), pool, very good breakfast and dinner. Extremely helpful staff. We parked our car in the parking lot (5 minutes walk) and after a quick call they helped us with our bags and to find our way.

    Affordable, good location near the beach/restaurants in the trendy part of Salvador, good wifi, helpful/friendly staff, lots of activities offered, had a bike to rent. A youthful hostel, with lots of action, that gets quiet at 22:00, if you want to sleep. Good place to meet other travelers from all over the world.. It is not the Taj Mahal but very liveable, if you are more of a laid back person.
