Gran Hotel Stella Maris Urban Resort & Conventions

Great hotel, with all the commodities to stay in there. The food on the buffet was always good. And to have the beach just steps away is something great. I was on there on a programming competition, and we use all the commodities in there. I recommend the hotel if you have an event like this.

Hotel has not been renovated since being built. Seems like the hotel is out of the 1980’s. Is affordable with reasonable service.

The hotel is not a 5 stars hotel in any means, and here is why: 1. The hotel looks old and is old. The pictures are not representative of of how the hotel really looks. A lot of photoshop for sure 2. The rooms and all the furniture is old and it has that smell of humidity and oldest place 3. There’s no concept of resort at all. There’s no charge to the room option, and you must pay in the place that you want to be: pool bar, restaurant, coffee shop. And it’s up to the are if they want to open a bill for you or not 4. They charge for the use of towels in the pool. Yes, the hotel towels for use in the pool, they charge you for use them. Insane!!! 5. Internet doesn’t work at all. Nothing, zero, nada!!! It’s not close to the city center and all the attractions from Salvador Bahia. Don’t stay here unless you need to. I stay here because a convention that I was attending here at the hotel.
