The location of this hostel is brilliant! You are so close to the paulista and the metro (linha verde) which makes it very easy to get around. Be aware there are two buildings- one a couple of houses down from the main one with private rooms which is being renovated. It was very modern and clean in the private rooms area. Unfortunately I cannot rate the hostel higher as the atmosphere wasn’t as good as we had experienced elsewhere. There was a large family staying who were loud during the evenings, occupied the kitchen which made meal times and even finding somewhere to sit for breakfast very difficult. The hostel staff were friendly and spoke some English but there was a mix up with our laundry price which made our check out unpleasant as we had already paid a fixed price beforehand, but this had been changed after we had done our laundry.

I’m usually pretty chill with hostels, but this place was really bad. The good: location, friendly reception staff...but that’s it. The bad: cramped rooms, shabby furnishings, no air con, tiny and dirty bathrooms, uncomfortable common spaces, and the most desperate breakfast I’ve ever not eaten. Not even cheap. They really need to up their game.

All the staff here were so friendly and helpful and were up for a chat at any time. Breakfast was very simple but still delicious. The rooms were clean and the only complaint I have was about the “locker” drawers being under our bunk. You had to pull them ALL the way out to open them which meant all the way to the bunk next to us, and they were SO LOUD. Otherwise, great place and location!

The breakfast is amazing! There are good kitchen facilities for you to use any time and a terrace to sit outside. The staff are really helpful if you have questions about how to get around São Paulo and the local area. The reception is staffed 24 hours. The location is good; just about 10 minutes walking to Avenida Paulista and Trianon-Masp metro station.You might find it noisy but that's just São Paulo. The beds are comfy. Recommended! Laundry service avaliable for a fee. They also have a luggage room where they can store your bags for you if you arrive before check-in or have time in São Paulo after you check out.

Good hostel, clean and nice staff, with good breakfast ! Terrace behind and kitchen ! Just don't be dizzy, if you take the 9 beds dorm because it's bunk beds at 3 level. Near the metro station, around 600 meters. They look for volunteer too, I think it's 4 days work and 3 days rest or vice versa ! I recommend it !

I stayed 3nights there. Location is 10min from paulista street. Breakfast is great as considerate price! Rooms and common space is clean enough and they change bed seats everyday. But cheapest dormitory bed is 3 levels beds. Also wooden bed, so when someone climbs up and down, it’s shakes a lot.

I stay in this hostel for few nights. It was so amazing. The breakfast was nice and the toilet was clean too. I make a stupid mistake when i messed up with the booking and the staff try their best to help me with the booking. They even try to help me find a place for another night when the hostel is full ( i forgot to make earlier booking). The staff is amazing. They helped me alot and answering all question that i have. Totally recommended this place

I liked the hostel, good breakfast, great location, only 8 minutes from Paulista Avenue, in its street has plenty of restaurants with a good price. The dependencies are all clean, the hostel also has coffee available in the kitchen anytime you want. I was only worried about the dormitory, it has 3 bunk-bed and there´s nothing to prevent the person of falling down if moves during the night. Overall, I recomend.

I really loved this place. The structure is so well-thought: each bed has its own plug, table and lamp; enough places to keep the luggage, the toilet was being cleaned constantly. As well as, all the staff is so polite and helpful. I'll come back definitively when I'm in Sao Paulo. Ps. Great breakfast variety.
