Very Good

The location was excellent. The staff was very personable and helpfull (out of the way helpfull). Will definitely use this hotel if ever traveling to salvador again
Price like a 4 star hotel but quality like a low 3 star.
Tried 2 other 3 star hotels in Brazil for half the price which were better than Grande Hotel da Barra
The location of this hotel is great, it's handy to go out and about Barra, the beach a few steps ways. Our room was clean. What stood out for us was the staff, especially Fabio in the reception. We had a small issue with our first room but he was very attentive and accomodating to ensure we had a great stay. I recommend this place when going to Salvador.
Very clean, most friendly and helpful staff--couldn't be better. Safe location; Police presence day and night--and friendly/helpful. Close to everything: beach, restaurants, shops... If I visit Salvador again, I will choose this hotel as the best location.
Directly across the street from the most iconic, touristic, and safest beach. Staff are incredibly helpful. Price is right.

Nice room!
Olivera, the bellman, was very nice and helpful. I think Olivera is his middle name. The staff are all very nice and helpful. All the bellmen, wait staff etc. Felipe and Eduvan at the buffet and bar are very nice and professional. Fabio was very nice, helpful and gave good advice on a special event going on. This was a nice gesture. He was a little stressed when we checked in but we did try to check in early so maybe that played a part in the stress.
The hotel itself was good. Staff were helpful and the place was well maintained. Food was OK. Barra beach is not clean and very overcrowded at the weekend. The area outside the hotel and along the sea front wasn't totally safe.
Excellent location. Wonderful hotel. Lovely pool area. Iconic Beach just steps away. (Possibly the best beach in the city. Lovely stores and restaurants everywhere.)
