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!

Customer service is terrible. Paid for dinner at the hotel and could not get service. 5 tables in the entire restaurant, 3-4 servers working , a bus boy and a bartender. Had to walk around and find a server to get drinks. This is a really low end buffet and even with it being a buffet the people were more worried about being on their phones and talking among themselves. Tried to change currency at the dsk and they charged a really high fee. It was about 12%. Room was clean but not very nice. We stayed at 3 Vila Gale hotels on this trip and they all charged differently, one added a 10% addition “service fee” at checkout. They said it was to recoup the 10% Expedia charged them for making the booking. Avoid Vile Gale properties!

A equipe do hotel é maravilhosa. Super atenciosos desde a entrada no hotel, o check in, informações sobre o hotel e a cidade, serviço de quarto tudo impecável. O meu pai fez aniversário e ganhou bolinho e champanhe achei incrível a delicadeza. A vista para o mar vale super a pena ao fazer a reserva. O mar de Salvador é lindíssimo de ser apreciado do quarto. A localização do hotel é muito boa em Ondina, próximo ao Cristo, local acessível para caminhas e corridas matinais. Quarto limpo. Cafe da manhã bem diversificado com tapioca, omelete e cuscuz feita na hora deliciosos. Amei e com certeza voltarei outras vezes. O banheiro merecia toalhas melhores e conservação do ambiente estava um pouco a quem de todo o demais da hospedagem,

Trata-se de uma acomodação antiga. Portanto, não espere nada novo. Ficamos em uma suite com vista pro mar. A vista, como era de se esperar, fantástica, porém, na cabeceira da cama há uma fotografia estendida horrenda, com imagem de três intregrantes no carnaval. Achei de um mau gosto sem precedentes. No frigobar havia 3 latinhas de água e 1 de refrigerante e não havia nenhuma descrição de que seriam pagos. No checkout. Me cobraram 42 reais pelas 4 latinhas. O café da manhã é honesto, nem fraco e nem espetacular. Em suma: o valor cobrado é altíssimo quando se leva em consideração o custo benefício do comparado a outras ofertas mais modernas.
