Even though we aimed at first to be the most original hostel in the Historic Centre of Salvador, our HostelWorld guests voted us best hostel in all of Brazil ‒ and that was only in our first year. Then just last year we made our way into Lonely Planet's super finicky "Our Pick" selection (so finicky that we are one of only two hostels featured), followed by some rather flattering words from the makers of the travellers' holy book.
And that is because we admittedly enjoy spoiling our guests: Free (and obscenely big) breakfast until midday, daily Happy Hour with free caipirinhas, free daily Brazilian film session, free Xbox 360 sessions, free air conditioning in all rooms, free linen and towels, our cool little swimming pool, exclusive discounts at our fusion restaurant Zulu, and more.
The Galeria 13 team is a typical Brazilian melting pot: In reception alone you might be greeted by our staff from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, England, U.S. ‒ all of whom sharing their common love for Salvador.
We are located just a few steps from the Largo do Pelourinho. All around us is the old city of colourful colonial buildings, cobblestone streets and significant remnants of Afro-Brazilian history. Pelourinho has a place on the National Register of Historical Places and was named a "World Heritage Site" by the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ‒ UNESCO.
