If you have lived in Brazil this place will be great. If you haven't you might want to stay away. This place has the best location right on the beach. Just beware that the street lights don't turn off at night and people are up late and then others are up really early and aren't quiet. The AC worked great once I figured out I had to turn on a little breaker first. We stayed on the top floor that they have seemed to turn the roof to into 3 rooms with make shift walls. We saw 2 cockroaches which for the location I kind of expected but that freaked my wife out. If you are fine with a hostel type room that is private then this place is for you. If you have a certain quality standard that you expect when you stay somewhere, don't stay here. Overall I enjoyed the location and didn't have a problem with the facility.

Bem localizado, mas bastante simples

A pousada está muito bem localizada e isso por se só já faz toda diferença. Basta atravessar a rua e já se está na praia. Além disso, por estar localizada em um bairro central, fica próximo dos principais pontos turísticos, o que facilita a economia com uber. O quarto apesar de ser simples, tinha uma cama confortável, o ar condicionado, a internet e a TV funcionavam adequadamente. Desvantagem: porta do quarto estava com sem a maçaneta externa, era preciso abrir a porta com a chave. A porta que permite o acesso a varanda não fechava e a janela da varanda abria facilmente. Por não terem grades nas janelas, causava um desconforto e sensação de insegurança porque o quarto ficava de frente para a rua. A limpeza do quarto ocorreu apenas uma única vez e segundo a pousada, ela aconteceria a cada 3 dias. Fiquei no hotel 7 dias, limparam uma vez, não trocaram as toalhas e nem os lençóis e fronhas.

A Pousada Marcos, em Salvador, é uma excelente escolha para quem busca uma localização privilegiada e uma vista de tirar o fôlego. Situada no coração da Barra, a pousada oferece uma vista incrível do mar, estando a poucos passos do icônico Farol da Barra. Um dos grandes trunfos da Pousada Marcos é a facilidade de se locomover a pé. É possível explorar grande parte das atrações da Barra caminhando, aproveitando a brisa do mar e a beleza do calçadão. Além disso, a região ao redor da pousada é repleta de opções de bares e restaurantes, atendendo a todos os gostos e bolsos. Seja para um happy hour descontraído ou um jantar mais elaborado, tudo está ao seu alcance.

PÉSSIMA EXPERIÊNCIA

As instalações estão em estado precário. Ao subir as escadas o odor de mofo impregna. Ao entrar no quarto o chão estava sujo, o ar condicionado não refrigerava e as portas do banheiro e área de serviço não fecham. Ao fazer qualquer pergunta na recepção os funcionários respondem de cara feia é grossa. A pousada me cobrou R$50,00 reais para estacionar o carro. Isso é um ABSURDO! NÃO RECOMENDO A ESTADIA. PÉSSIMA EXPERIÊNCIA!
