We stayed in Galleria 13 for a couple of days. We got a private room with a bathroom. All accommodations were very nice, safe and clean. Pablo and the staff were wonderful and very helpful. Happy hour was a good way to meet people and exchange info about the city. Best hostel in Pelourinho!

We didn't stay here, but were rescued by the owner as we were about to head down a relatively dangerous block in Salvador. He was out walking his two friendly dogs, Zulu and Spartan, and invited us back to the hostel. He shared his excellent guide - created for his own clients - and treated us as though were his... More

The hostel is in a great location in pelourinho, the cities historical centre, 30 seconds from the main square. The hostel is small yet has enough room for all its occupants incorporating a pool, chill out room, outdoor seating and a bar. Not to mention free caipirinhas every day during happy hour! The breakfast was definitely one of the best... More

All rooms have ice-cold air conditioning, which is a great feature in sweltering Salvador. Showers are electric, but installed well and provide adequate... More

Galeria 13 is definately one of the best hostels in which I've stayed in Brazil. It's ideally located in a quiet street of the Pelourinho (the place to be in Salvador). It has spacious dorms and everything is very clean. The staff is multi-lingual and very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is amazingly good with fruits, cakes, eggs and sousages,... More

For someone that doesn't normally stay in hostels, I can gladly recommend Galeria 13. I spent 2 nights here while visiting Salvador alone, and wanted to meet people while there so opted for a hostel. Galeria 13 is clean, sociable, has great communal areas including a small pool (needed in the heat), offers a great breakfast until 12 noon and... More
