Stella Maris Hotels, Salvador

"Excellent view "

"The room was fine, except for no elevator. Check in process was utter confusion, they had no idea who I was and had no record our reservation. They required me to pay in order to get the price that hotels.com offered me, couldn’t use my credit card. Took 45 minutes to get checked in."

"It was very close to the beach and restaurant. The breakfast was good and the hot water from the shower was excellent. My only concern was the TV and Internet wasn't working well."

"Beautiful place for enjoying a good vacation with family"

"Old shower and small bathroom "

"If you're looking for a place to stay right after arriving in Salvador, this is a great place! I landed around 2:30am, and I was still able to check in. The room was small but clean. The air conditioning worked, and the place was quiet! However, the bathroom really could use a deep cleaning. The location to anything but the airport was a little rough. They did store my bag too, which was awesome! So, for my needs and purposes, it was great! But I wouldn't stay here for longer periods. "

"Visited in March 2025. The earlier reviews and pictured looked good so booked this forma short stay. The location is quite good, a short walk from the beach (although the area feels rather sketchy especially when walking for dinner). It seemed like there was a lot of construction work going on everywhere in the hotel, dust and construction material laying around. The pools (small) were open but did not look very inviting as the water looked a bit green). The only elevator was extremely slow and noisy. The room was like described but very worn down and I'm clear need of a renovation. And upon arrival in the evening it was extremely hot and smelled like a sewer. We turned on the AC but it was only blowing the air in one direction and was also otherwise not vety effective. It took the whole night to get the room to even close to decent temperature, probably to around 25 degrees C after 10 hours or aomething. We only stayed for one night. Would not recommend to others."

"Slow check in, lack of lighting, poor wifi Friendly staff helped compensate but overall a disappointing experience "

"There was little to no cleaning of the room from staff, the power went out with no way for us to get into our room and the night staff member didnt have our keycard eventhough we left it with the day staff. Eventhough he did a good job managing things, he was on his own dealing with the majority. The food was okay and when the power did come back we did get to use the service lift. Our bathroom had mould in ir and the shower head had a lot of limescale and dirt."
