Hotel berhampiran Magazine Luiza, Salvador

The Novotel Salvador Hangar Aeroporto best features are its location near the airport, newer facilities than most properties in Salvador, and it operates under the ACCOR hotel brand. Despite these advantages, I must report a unacceptable experience during my stay December 28th to 31st 2022 followed by deplorable managerial customer service in response to verified and documented service failures. I have reported these issues to my travel agency, my corporate travel unit, and my personal travel networks. As I discovered this property using Trip Advisor, I have decided to report this matter for the benefit of my fellow readers. I do not recommend this property for business travelers nor cultural tourism travelers (especially not those seeking afro-Brazilian tourism or those welcoming to the African diaspora). I share some reasons herein: • Unreliable Service: During my stay I experienced one major internet outage over six business hours, as well as minor room outages (less than 30 minutes) on each day of my stay. This hotel was advertised as catering to business travelers, but the hotel provided no updates when internet would be restored despite repeated requests. I did not receive any support to manage the disruption to my teleworking, and personnel were unable/unwilling to facilitate solutions (At one point, I was recommended to use the free internet of one of the shopping malls. Imagine carrying expensive computer equipment to what my taxi driver warned was a “high crime” area). Sadly, the ability of the reception staff to identify solutions was more unreliable than the internet service. • Poor Room Quality: This hotel advertises rooms of high standards of quality, and I am sure many receive good rooms. However, I received a room that was both substandard quality (bathroom sidings and interior furniture water damaged, door malfunction, refrigerator malfunction) and pollutted by the buildings HVAC exhaust being poorly designed, allowing exhaust to flow against rooms on the lower floor (high noise pollution noticeable when sleeping). I believe most guests do not have this experience, as the issue likely affects few rooms on the lower floors. However, when choosing this property, one must ask the question, how does the receptionist decide who receives these rooms which experience high dust inflow and high noise pollution (I have videos and photos available upon request). Why are some customers placed in quality rooms, and others assigned to substandard rooms (noting the hotel has standard room types based on bed requirements)? Why did this hotel property assume that one of their few afro-descendent customers would accept the worst room in the property? • Deplorable Managerial Level Customer Service: Upon checkout, a customer service representative noted my dissatisfaction with my hotel experience, and asked if I would be willing to receive inquires from hotel management the next business day. I did not have confidence in their customer service bu

A respeito da recepção pos 23 horas. Atendimento de um só recepcionista, muito devagar. Sugestão: se o check in foi feito com um QR Code confirma a entrada e só se entrega a chave ou ela já esteja disponível em um balcão ou armário com chave.

O hotel é maravilhoso, há bastante tempo faço uso dos serviços, é um dos meus preferidos em Salvador. A qualidade dos serviços é excelente, o restaurante muito bom, o café da manhã excepcional. As instalações também seguem o mesmo padrão de excelência. Vale muito a pena a hospadagem no São Salvador. Mais do que reomendado. A suíte na Torre 2 é muito boa, espaçosa e cofortável, vale a pena pagar um pouco mais.

Very good hotel with an excellent location in Salvador, in the middle of the fashionable Vitoria neighborhood of the city. Service, including room service, is attentive and efficient. The hotel has parking and it is moderately priced.

desde a minha reserva, até o check out tive um excelente experiência… ao chegar no hotel às recepcionistas da tarde me atenderam fom todas as informações precisas, com bom atendimento e educação. quarto confortável, ar-condicionado e vista para o mar!  café da manhã muito amplo, com tudo fresquinho e limpinho!  sem dúvidas irei retornar mais vezes!!!

For the price paid, the value is exceptional. The location is safe, 5 metres from the beach (about as close as a hotel can get) and a few minutes walk from supermarkets, restaurants and other amenities. The breakfast as is always the case with Rede Andrade hotels is varied and sizable. This hotel branch is much nicer than two others I stayed at in Salvador with a comfortable lobby area and outside seating courtyard. Though my room was misrepresented as ”an apartment” when it is a normal room, I was fine with it given the low price paid. I had a sea view and the room contained the necessary features, i.e. fridge, TV, hot shower, ac, and towels/soaps. The WiFi was terrible though with no signal at all in the room. Aside from the latter, everything was great as were the staff. Would recommend 100%

Hotel muito bom, bem localizado, seguro, quarto com tamanho bom, café da manhã ok. Voltaria com certeza.

No momento da Reserva não me atentei ao fato que o quarto selecionado estava sem café da manhã incluso, visto que estava pesquisando em vários lugares ao mesmo tempo, e na pressa não revisei. Ao chegar no hotel e somente após pagar minha estadia, fui informado que teria que pagar o adicional do café da manhã (70/casal/dia). Na hora pesquisei no APP e vi que uma reserva para o mesmo período estava custando exatamente o mesmo preço que eu havia pago, mas com café da manhã incluso e perguntei ao funcionário se poderia cancelar a reserva e faze-la novamente no app para pegar o café incluso, mas isso me foi negado por um motivo muito ridículo e que eu teria que resolver com a plataforma Booking (no meio de um fds onde nada se resolve). No dia seguinte questionei outro funcionário que deu uma justificativa mais sem nexo ainda e que eu poderia perder meu dinheiro e ter que pagar por toda a reserva. Resumindo, não me ofereceram uma solução razoável para o caso, não se prontificaram a colocar um gerente ou alguém para analisar o caso, a plataforma Booking tbm não me deu resposta até hoje e eu acabei tomando café numa padaria próxima ao hotel durante 3 das 4 diárias que estivemos aí. Eu não estava pedindo nada além do que a aplicação do preço que vi no app com café para o mesmo período pois se tivéssemos que incluir 70/dia no orçamento, teríamos outras opções de hotel. O que salvou nossa experiencia nessas ferias foi que havíamos planejado ficar em duas estadias diferentes e a segunda foi ótima.

Check-in process smooth. The room was small and nothing exceptional. We had lunch at the hotel. The food was ok, however it is not possible to put lunch and or breakfast on the room. We had to pay straight away to the waiter. At mornings, before breakfast, the hotel wasn't very organised. We had to queue and wait for whoever didn't have it included and so on. The quality wasn't good. Unfortunately I would not recommend it.

This hotel is good and has a very good buffet breakfast and I also enjoyed the evening buffet there. However, the beach which the hotel overlooks is difficult to access and also has a large building site next to it. The wifi is shocking and it is almost an exaggeration to say that it exists. In the rooms it keeps cutting out and in the restaurant it is not available at all in some parts
