Loved my stay here! Very helpful staff! I was impressed that they tried to learn everyones name who was staying at the hostel. The breakfast was amazing - best I have had at any hostel that I've stayed in!! The happy hour was a great way to meet other travelers! Would definitely want to stay here again! More

Cozy yard with swimming pool, excellent breakfast with freshmade eggs, very central location in the Pelourinho, a lot of information and clean rooms are on the absolute plus side for this hostel.

We stayed here 3 nights and were made very welcome by all staff. Although there was no room for us at the main hostel, Paulo offered us a room in the "House at the top of the hill" - a ten bunk room for 3 people! We enjoyed our stay and were able to take full advantage of the recommendations... More

I've stayed at quite a few hostels in my day and I must say I'd have to put Galeria 13 in my Top 3. Definitely #1 as far as social ambience is concerned. I was particularly impressed at how the staff members attempt to remember each guest's name. A wonderful place! I would return in an instant! More

Staff and ownership is unbelievable- friendly and cool. Rooms are stupendous - clean, and even stylish Location is about as good as it gets. Breakfast plentiful and excellent. A pool, for pete's sake, and a wonderful small garden area. I had an idyllic time there, and out of hundreds of hostels all over the world, I actually can't think of... More
