Small, very nice boutique hotel. Very clean and tastefully decorated, with an excellent breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, no one speaks a word of English, so we could only communicate via cell phone and translation tools. Otherwise, everything was wonderful and we can highly recommend the hotel.

Fantastic staff, security, location, and rooms. The only downside is the lack of windows in the standard room, but this wouldn't stop me from staying here again. Also, amazing water pressure in the showers and A+ for staff assistance.

Nice small hotel in Salvador. The room was clean and in good condition, but it was very small and had no windows. The hotel has a small reception but otherwise there are no common areas for guests to lounge, which is inconvenient if you want to spend some time at the hotel outside your room.

This property was so cute! The room was smaller than I expected but suit my needs as a solo traveler. The aesthetics were there and so was the comfort! How thoughtful that they place local treats on your bed as part of their welcome. As someone who is a little introverted it was so convenient that they had nightly entertainment right upstairs on their rooftop and a restaurant below. If you are slightly hesitant to explore the area alone at night, these options were very convenient. Please feel free to explore the area as the beach is within walking distance and the area felt safe. The hotel staff that greeted me were beyond accommodating despite the fact I did not speak Portuguese.

Very nice place. Friendly staff. Even though i booked a room for 2 people, i was not allowed to let a friend stay over as this was hotel policy. When I asked to read this policy, it did not exist. Very strange and not “standard” at all. On top of that, not all standard rooms have windows!! This is not clear from the description. I decided to go to another hotel for these reasons and got a full refund.

The rooms were EXTREMELY SMALL, but I finally was given a larger room, but with no window. The rooms were not swept and cleaned well daily. On occasion, the towels were not completely changed daily. The first night had loud music until 03:00 in the morning. After complaining, it was less the following weekend. The reception and dining staff were all very helpful and polite.

We stayed at the Canto for one night. We were supposed to stay for 3 nights but when we arrived we were shocked by how small the rooms were. I mean if you are one person with a backpack or a couple with a small carry on it might work but we had a few large suitcases and it was impossible. They gave us a slightly bigger room but it was still too small and there were no windows in this new room. The breakfast was great, the location was central in Rio Vemelho but it the hotel is situated on a steep hill so good luck with your rolling bags getting out of the Uber. The rooftop pool is cool but also super small. Overall not the best experience but they were nice enough to refund the 2 nights that we didn’t use.

The hotel is located in a quiet street but just 2 minutes walk from there you’ll find a small square with restaurants and bars. I liked the fact that the hotel has a great design and that it’s very clean. The breakfast was amazing composed with delicious fresh products. When it comes to the room there is a window but it gives into the back of the building and face another room (1 meter of separation only). You don’t get any daylight because of that. But if you’re out most of the day, you can do without daylight. The other thing is that although the tap water is not drinkable, you only get 1 welcome bottle on arrival and then you have to pay a crazy high rate for 50cl of water. The fridge is full so forget about storing your own! My other complaint is some of the staff members: the man who does at the service at the pool was great and so were the ladies who serve breakfast and the cleaners, and even the security guards! But 2 of the receptionists had an attitude. One literally rolled her eyes when I told her I didn’t speak Portuguese and during my stay she was talking to me like an idiot. Another one, spoke behind my back to her colleagues every time I was passing in front of them. Their attitude wasn’t professional and if I would ask a question in English, they would look at me like I wanted problems. Anyhow, it’s a nice hotel but at least you know the pros and cons to prepare your trip.
