We invite you to stay at Salvador 's friendliest hostel, located in the heart of Pelourinho. Salvador, the first capital of Brazil from 1549-1763 became a blending of European, African and Amerindian cultures which are still evident today. Much of the old architecture and character of old Salvador de Bahia has been restored in the oldest part of the city - Pelourinho, and Hostel São Jorge is located in the heart of Pelourinho.

Salvador takes great pride in the fact that Pelourinho has the largest collection of Baroque Colonial architecture in Latin America and has been declared a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. And São Jorge Hostel is fortunate to be located in this area with its many cathedrals, palaces and Museums.

We are minutes away from numerous sandy beaches and cruises to scenic and historic islands. Experience Salvador of the past with its many free public demonstrations of drums Bands, Capoeira and local music. Hostel São Jorge is surrounded by scores of fine sidewalk cafes and several Capoeira academies.

Our goal is to be the best budget hostel in Pelourinho, Salvador , catering to the needs of backpackers worldwide. We are continuing to refurbish São Jorge in an attempt to offer the best value in Salvador for the money. Staying at São Jorge will help you to experience Pelourinho of the past and the present.
