Hostel Galeria 13

Its not just the Swimming Pool that is cool,now all rooms with Free Air conditioning ,(the price stayed the same),Still striving to be Pelourinho´s most original hostel. Voted best in Brazil in it's first year!

The Galeria 13 team includes a great mix: In reception alone you might be greeted by our staff from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and the England-hailing owner -- all of whom sharing their common love for Salvador.

In its former life as a bar, the old colonial house was a famous hang-out for artists and musicians.

The upper two floors divided into four private rooms and two dorms, all with air conditioning and private bathrooms, and wooden flooring.

Downstairs on the main floor you will find the large common area: our 24/7 reception, our stylish bar & a Moroccan chill-out room where you can relax and mix with other guests.

Running along on the out side of the house you will discover the super garden and terrace area where breakfast is served. Here you will also find the only pool in all of Salvador's hostels where you can hang out, swap stories with fellow travellers whilst sipping on the house-special, the G13 caipirinha.
The hostel also attracts lots of other hostel guests and locals, as the garden area is a unique spot in the Pelô to relax and charge up for more action.
