Zank By Toque

The staff were very welcome and we had a very comfortable bed in our room with a nice view of the beach, which was just down a steep hill but not too far to walk. The breakfast selection and quality is excellent and the staff does their best to communicate in English. Walkable to restaurants and bars but need to be careful at night. Only recommendation to hotel is to remove large tubs in rooms and replace with a sitting area, which would be much more useful in a small room. Overall a lovely place to stay near the beach in Salvador. Note that new construction going up next to hotel and will be for some time. We did not have noise issues. The building is not shown in hotel photos and that felt a little misleading. Would still recommend this hotel for sure if you want walkable beach, which had a very local feel to it.

Located 50 mts from the sea front and close to Paciência beach, this is a great place to enjoy the Salvador atmosphere, especially during the Iemanjá party in February. It's a charm hotel, with a main building that is an old house that was completely restored and that retains its soul. On the back one finds a modern attachment where most of the rooms are, as well as the dinning room and rooftop swimming pool. There is also a small open area in the ground floor to relax and enjoy the view. Talking about the view, I should mention that a great part of it disappeared due to the construction of a 12th storey building next to it, which brings quite some noise during the day and from 8AM. The staff is warm, professional and very friendly. Great people. The breakfast is served on the table and is very complete, fresh and tasteful. Pity about the lack of artisanal fruit jams. But all the rest is home made. Rooms are comfortable but I didn't like the in room toilet without roof, making it annoying in terms. of noises and smells. Some quirks and shortcomings but a very nice place to spend a few days in Bahia.

Great staff. Great location but poor view. A 19 storey building hiding the sea view. This is a great shame as they still advertise the hotel with a sea view.
