 Pousada da mangueira. by cachaseiro
It´s right on the border to Peluorinho and it´s nesting on a hill so you have a fantastic view of the old part of Salvador.
The rooms are quite basic but with private shower and toilet and the breakfast that is included in the price is superb.
The staff is very friendly and i really enjoyed hanging out there by the pool where you have a fantastic view of town right as you are swimming.
Fantastic view from the hotel.

 Marazul room and view by NedHopkins
If you like Holiday Inns -- and don't mind being far from Salvador's historical center -- the Marazul is a good choice.
A single room cost R$120 (about US$60 in 2002, maybe $45 in 2003).
Rooms are spacious and well appointed; all have views of the sea, either towards the lighthouse or towards the fort.
The restaurant is on the 2d floor and opens onto the hotel's small pool. A good breakfast is included in the roomrate; other meals will encourage you to eat outside the hotel. At the time of my visit the ground floor bar was closed.
Like a growing number of Brazilian hotels:
1) hallway lights are off until you step off the lift or out of your room, and
2) you must insert a card into a slot in your room to activate lights and air conditioning.

 Hotel pool (from website) by toonsarah
Apart from this it’s a fairly typical city centre hotel, with 12 floors and 275 rooms. The restaurant served a good buffet breakfast, and we also had dinner there one evening when we were too tired to go out (standard international fare and some Brazilian dishes). There is also a small lobby bar, ideal for a night-cap.
The rooms have the usual mod cons – air-conditioning, cable TV, hair-dryer and in-room safe. A standard double room is currently US$88, with a Brazilian buffet breakfast included.

 The hotel from the pool by sunlovey
However, the staff, other than those at the front desk are more than accommodating.
There are many ammenities including a gym with regular exercise classes, a large pool with restaurant/bar, a small spa/salon, a business center with access to the Internet, a gift shop and a restaurant that serves three meals a day.
The restaurant is actually beautiful, it's round in shape and has this huge colorful mural encircling its walls by a local artist.
The complimentary breakfast each morning features a row of hot dishes, an assortment of breads and pastries, cheeses and meats, fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese & cereal options and juice/hot chocolate/coffee/tea.
The room.... hmmm, overlooked the pool and a park. It was spacious, the AC was FREEZING (which wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it was really hot in Salvador), had a lot of storage space & had a mini bar. But like I said, this place could use a decor revamp.
Location left much to be desired. While it is close to the beach and to Pelourhino the area does not feel optimal for setting out on foot all about town. It is next to a really beautiful yet small park but I didn't go to Salvador to go to a small park.
I would recommend this hotel only if you were in Salvador on business.
Outstanding characteristics... like I said, their helpful staff (other than those at the front desk which seemed miserable and weren't so friendly).
Tim had an hour long massage for like $30 (dollars) and said it was great.
I utilized the business center Internet services for a minimal fee and enjoyed the suggestions its staff offered me where dinner and visiting Praia do Forte were concerned.
