Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small private rooms — Some guests found the private rooms compact, though adequate for a short stay.
  • Showers can be finicky — A couple of guests mentioned that the shower temperature took some effort to adjust, but it was seen as acceptable given the price.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 23:59, so if you land late, you'll need to arrange something else.

“We had a great stay. The staff were super friendly and gave helpful advice on getting around Sao Paulo. Our private room was small but fine, and we never waited for showers. Breakfast was basic but good, especially the fruit. Beds were new and comfortable. The reception and garden are beautiful, and Wi-Fi was strong. We met lovely people from around the world. Honestly, hard to find any cons.”

“I had a lot of fun in the common area watching TV and getting help with tours. Don't miss Sao Paulo Zoo – it's a must-see. Free breakfast and Wi-Fi were great, and I loved the terrace and garden.”

“Amazing stay. Staff were welcoming and spoke perfect English. Location was fantastic, a short walk to Paulista Avenue and felt safe. The room was cozy, and though the shower took a bit to warm up, it wasn't unreasonable for the price. Breakfast was huge and delicious, with lots of fruit. I highly recommend this hostel.”
