Frommer's Review

You can't miss the yellow house (the Casa Amarela) on Barra beach. It is also called Hospederia de la Habana but when you arrive at the bright canary-yellow house you can see why that name never caught on. This pleasant and comfortable inn offers one of the best deals along the Salvador waterfront. All 13 rooms have views of the bay, private bathrooms, and are clean and simply furnished. An excellent breakfast is included in the price. The pousada also has a garden, a small bar, and a lovely veranda, perfect for enjoying a drink before you head out for dinner. The Casa Amarela is right on the major carnival parade route so book early if you plan to be here to celebrate Salvador's largest event of the year.

Facilities:
Bar; laundry service; Internet access

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
