The best urban hostel I've ever stayed in! Mainly British owner Paulo has created a legendary hostel that gets it right for solo travellers as well as small groups. He avoids the meanspiritedness that irritates at most hostels (eg, his genuinely unlimited proper food for breakfast runs through to noon). The staff are proactive: I witnessed one introducing a new solo arrival to others to ensure she wouldn't be eating dinner alone. There are none of those unfriendly little tables that ruin the average hostel. The free-caipiriña hour is perfectly timed to get guests to go out together for the evening. The results are amazing.

Superb hospitality, really friendly staff. Great breakfast included (omelet and fresh fruits, juices, coffee and tea). Comfy bunks, clean bathrooms/toilets, rooms and sheets cleaned very frequently. Really fast wifi. If I'm back in Salvador I will definately be staying here again. Top effort team from Hostel Galaria 13, thanks for having me! Also a really great restaurant just around the corner with amazing food called Zulu, possibly the best feed you can get in the area, definately my favourite place to eat. A+

Oh, sorry, you want a full explanation. Ok. There were only 2 full working bathrooms to shower, always busy. From a total of 4 bathrooms, but only worked 3. 2/3 of the sockets/outlets did not work. So, almost imposible to charge your phone. Breakfast was kinda poor. Kitchen was really dirty, disgusting to even have a glass of water. Sheets that looked like the ones your little sibling used in 1978. The wifi signal was terrible.

great place

This hostel and it´s staff made my expeirence of salvador that much better, it would have not been the same without them!! the location is great, footsteps away from the historical center, making it quiet at night but convienient when wanting to head out. the hostel has lovely terreces to chill out at. breakfast is abondant and Eva, Diego and gostavo are always willing to help and give information about salvador, without them i would have not expeirenced salvador.

The guy that runs this hostel is a very nice and caring person. He really was there if you needed help with anything. Very Close to pelourinho. Short Walking distance. Super nice breakfast. Good prices.

Nice people, but dirty.

The room was advertised as a 4 bed dorm with free breakfast. It was actually a tiny private room with a bunk bed at the foot of a double bed, there was also no breakfast. We were overcharged 100 reals each for an abada ticket. It took 3 days to get a towel. There were no bed sheets on arrival. The room was right next to the front door which was often left open. This is the worst hostel we have stayed in over the last 6 months.

(Translated by Google) The best hostel in Salvador! No doubt! The staff is super friendly. In the best neighborhood, the Pelourinho. Hammocks, rooftop, pti dej included, bar in the evening, clean room, hot shower ... lol in short all that is needed. OBRIGADO Diego e galera! (Original) The best hostel in Salvador! No doubt! Le staff est super friendly. Dans le meilleur quartier, le Pelourinho. Hamacs, rooftop, pti dej inclus, bar le soir, chambre clean, douche chaude... lol bref tout ce qu'il faut comme il faut.

Amazing hostel, super helpful staff, great breakfast and location. Would highly recommend it!

We had a great stay at Galeria 13, couldn’t recommend it more. The staff were really attentive and helpful throughout our stay at the hostel!

The location is good and excellent breakfast and drinks. The owner is nice but it's too crowded and so many people using the restrooms that at times it wasn't so clean. If you like a busy noise hostel you will like it and if you like a quiet hostel you will not.

One of the best hostels to stay at ! Most delicious breakfast I have ever had with homemade fresh bread , egg and much more . Amazing staff and centrally located !

A really great hostel. The host is very friendly and does everything to help you visit the city. The breakfast is copious witt eggs. The free caipirinhas bar is a few meters away and it not false advertising... I highly recommend !

Excellent staff, comfy beds and homely feeling. Recommended 100% for solo travelers, couples, or even groups. Hospitality at its finest! Free caipirinhas, a small pool, Netflix room, and an incredible personalized breakfast.

We loved everything about his hostel. Amazing kind staff, Paulo was very helpful with tips for the city. The best breakfast i had in Brazil so far. Rooms are spotless clean

Excellent hostel. Great location. Spacious. Big rooms. Free breakfast which was very good and free capirinhas for an hour every night. The hostel is excellent value

You won't get anything better in Salvador. Paulo the owner, really takes care of their travelers, no sponsored suggestions or day trips. You basically get a buffet breakfast until 12 in the after. One hour of free caipirinhas, which is the best icebreaker with fellow travelers. The ladies working here are also very sweet. So you're basically staying here for free.

Stayed here 3 times. Amazing location, delicious breakfast (homemade bread is so good), lovely super helpful multilingual staff, pool, free caipirinha happy hour - what more do you need? I 100% recommend!

(Translated by Google) Good hostel Dormitory price 30 reals Excellent breakfast with variety but fruit ts mornings, and sometimes pancake.

Great hostel with a central location in Salvador. Kind staff and incredibly clean. The included breakfast goes until noon with lots of options. Areas to socialize as well as space to be quiet and relax. The staff puts up a board with activities in the city every evening and are more than happy to recommend areas to visit. All around exceptional hostel with a social vibe.

Galeria 13 is the perfect example of how to run an excellent hostel. We loved our stay here and met loads of great people through the free caipirinha happy hour every day on the deck by the pool. Our private room was spacious and got a lot of natural light. Breakfast was plentiful and generous with lots of options including a huge plate of eggs and sausage. Majority of guests spoke English. I was unwell on our day of checkout and the owner kindly let me sleep past checkout in the room. Plenty of recommendations for things to do in the area. Great location. Highly recommended!

I was very disappointed with the hotel and the attitude of the manager. I chose to stay at this hotel for it's location and the fact that it had a terrace and a pool. The reservation process was complicated. Although booking had confirmed the reservation, the manager cancelled my reservation a few days prior to my stay and sent me an email explaining that the payment had to be made in advance. I therefore had to reserve again but by then the price had increased. When I arrived at the hotel, I was told that although the payment guaranteed a room was booked for me, it didn't guarantee the room would be in that hotel. I was sent to another hotel a few blocks away which had neither terrace nor pool. I was told I could use the terrace and pool of the other hotel but he said that by no means could he guarantee a room in the hotel proposed on booking. I would recommend staying elsewhere as they are advertising a hotel which does not correspond to the reality. I felt cheated and because I had to walk a few blocks to get to the pool, I ended up not using it. There are better options with friendlier staff and management in Salvador.

(Translated by Google) A very nice quiet place with pool (Original) Un lugar muy lindo tranquilo y con piscina

(Translated by Google) Excellent hostel with pleasant common area that makes guests comfortable to socialize. One hour of free caipirinha every day and an excellent breakfast well served for four hours. I stayed in a good room, despite the very small bathroom, and the beds above the bunk beds are difficult to climb. There are plugs on the side of each bed, which is essential. There is nothing to complain about cleaning. The reception staff is also great, very helpful and speaks several languages. I would go back quietly. (Original) Hostel excelente, com área comum agradável que deixa os hóspedes confortáveis para socializar. Uma hora de caipirinha grátis todo dia e excelente café da manhã bem servido por quatro horas. Fiquei em um quarto bom, apesar do banheiro bem pequeno, e as camas de cima das beliches são difíceis de subir. Tem tomadas do lado de cada cama, o que é essencial. Sobre a limpeza, não há do que reclamar. O pessoal da recepção também é ótimo, muito prestativo e fala diversas línguas. Voltaria tranquilamente.

(Translated by Google) Very friendly staff, great breakfast, good cleanliness and comfortable beds. (Original) Equipe muito simpática, ótimo café da manhã, boa limpeza e camas confortáveis.

Best hostal in Brazil by far! Perdect location. Decent dorms and excelent private rooms. Cool helpful boss n staff and dogs. Pool and free caipirinhas

Free caipirinhas at night, super friendly staff, pool, great location and awesome breakfast!

Best breakfast you can imagine! Good vibes and good price!

Hostel Galeria 13 is your small oasis away from the commotion of Pelourinho. But there are still many chances for social time thanks to the free (and UNLIMITED) Caipirinha hour woooo! The pool is a special amenity other hostels in the area do not have. The same goes for their delicious and varied breakfast lasting until 12pm.... something I have yet to encounter at any other hostel I've stayed at. Unfortunately, there is no access to the kitchen, so keep that in mind. The owner has a delicious restaurant around the corner, though! Cleaned thoroughly and often by the 24hr staff. They are all beautiful inside and out, especially Spartan the dog.

A good place with great people!

Don't look anywhere else. It's a great hostel where you can meet a lot of international travel during free caipirnha hours. People that work there are great!!!

Honestly unfriendly und inflexible service st the reception, I was really disappointed

perfect, swimming pool & happy hour caipi :D

(Translated by Google) My friend Lucas stayed there just gave me good recommendation! (Original) Meu amigo Lucas ficou lá só me deu recomendação boa!

We have stayed 4 nights at Diego's place and we really enjoyed our time there. Diego is very friendly and gave us some very cool recommendations, he is a traveler himself and he knows all the good addresses of the city, the events and the next steps for your trip, I strongly recommend the chapada de diamantina.

I went during carnival. The staff and volunteers really set the bar for hostels. It's quite humble and there is a nice area to integrate. We were given lots of good ideas of places to go during the day, in the evenings and how to stay safe during carnival. Was kept very clean throughout the day and great and safe location. Had an amazing time and would reconmend to all.

Very good hostel. Great location, old neighbourhood. Amazing breakfast and the pool. Crazy free caipiribhas happy hour. Loved it and the people in it. Wanted to stay at the dorms but the room wasn’t very nice, too small for a lot of people. Luckily I had a privet room that was Perfect.

Loved this place!

Great staff, all of them!! and perfect location, the owner was really kind giving us some advice, compliments to the ladies in the kitchen, always with a smile on her face!!! Also you have a restaurant so close with really nice food! 100%recommended! Bye bye Salvador! Nice time here!

lovely lovely people, they make you feel part of the family. It's affordable and in an excellent area- the street is fairly peaceful so great for sleeping, yet its still close to the centre of Pelourinho and all the vibrancy there. Beds and rooms are fairly basic, but do the job. Aim to get the ones with Air con.
