Pelourinho is right outside. Great place to meet others, and experience the Pelourinho nightlife (especially Tuesdays), helpful staff. Think twice if you are looking for a good night sleep, the location makes it noisy.

Okay, prepare yourself for staying longer at Hostel Galeria 13 than you planned, because it is a really, really, really nice place!
