Top hotels in Barra
Rede Andrade Barra
Terrible hotel. Everything falling apart, there is no option for 0 star here. This place is too old. We arrived and our room wasn't ready, we waited for 20 minutes.

Porto Salvador Hotel
Amazing cost-benefit, you're in the heart of Salvador Carnival for the Barra-Ondina circuit. There are also good options to eat, very close to Shopping Barra, supermarkets, and drugstores. The hotel's structure is not the most modern or well maintained, but it is not an issue if you don't care about ...

Pousada Barra Comfort
A localização é de longe o ponto mais alto. A praia do porto está a uma distância de 50 metros. O pessoal também foi muito educado. O café da manhã, apesar de simples, proprõe tudo que você precisa pra começar bem o dia. Recomendo fortemente.
