“Convento do Carmo Review August 2008”

Sep 29, 2008

I had read about this hotel when it was first opened in an article in The Independent and kept it in the back of my mind if the opportunity should arise to go to Salvador. The convent is an incredible building, sensitively restored. The evening restaurant service, food and musicians (a cellist and a guitarist) were superb. The comfortable chaise... more

“Not exactly a luxury hotel, but has character”

My husband & I stayed here for 2 nights in May, in a Junior Suite. Though the staff seemed to be trying (in a genuine though unconcerned fashion), I found the facilities & service to be lacking in what bills itself as a luxury hotel. However the hotel does have character & is located right in the old town of... more

“Great hotel, excellent location”

This hotel is located in a beautifully convent just to the north of the Pelourinho. The building is spectacular, as the austere walls transport you back in time. Both courtyards and all of the public areas of the hotel are immaculately kept, and everything was clean and showed little sign of wear. The decoration was simple and historic, only adding... more

To give a brief summary at first, I must say, I am someone who regularly travels with work and insist on staying in nice hotels and the Convento do Carmo is certainly one of the nicest places I stayed at. Location: It is perfectly situated on top of Pelorinho, making the downtown area just a 50min walk away. It is... more

The great, breakfast, the building, swimming pool, location. The ok, furniture in the loverely old room was more Marriot or internattional chain hotel. Our bedroom window opened out above the kitchen extractor. The bad, lunch at the bar, the burgers were worse than the cheapest street venders and literally 10x's the price. more

This is an actual old convent complete with chapel and everything. We stayed in a junior suite and the bed was huge and overlooked the pool. The free breakfast had everything you could imagine. The service was great and the concierge was very accomodating. If a clean stay is important to you, stay here. The location is right in the... more

We spent 3 nights at this amazing hotel at Easter on our first ever visit to Brasil.

Sophisticated travellers will understand and immediately take to what this hotel has to offer. It’s not for those without the minimum cultural savvy to work around language barriers; it’s not for those who rate a hotel by the expansiveness of the breakfast buffet; it’s not for the package sun seeker whose greatest ambition is to score the best lounger at... more

The Convento Do Carmo is located in an old convent in the middle of the Pelourinho and comes with all the comfort, service and amenities you would expect from a top hotel.
