Pros: Location

Cons: Rooms a little to old manly the floors

Pros: Good location. Staff was helpful after an issue regarding the booking. The glass lifts are quite nice.

Cons: Basic breakfast, fruits and cakes lack flavour, specially for a country like Brazil. The sauna doesn't work. I asked reception to turn it on but even after an hour it wasn't hot -the log cabin in my garden gets warmer in summer. Like other reviews said it's an old hotel that knew better times, that said it clearly has the potential to be great hotel.

Cons: Too small gym

Cons: Fungus in the bathroom, swimmingpool dirty and freezing cold, fitness facilities very basic and not clean. Overall hotel not warm and welcoming

Pros: The breakfast was awesome, the location was perfect. We loved everything about the hotel.

Cons: The noise, something like water pipes running throughout the night

Pros: Very nice hotel. Great reception and very friendly and helpful.

Cons: I placed the “do not disturb” sign on my door because I arrived very late and needed to sleep. The maid ignored this and still entered my room while I was sleeping!!!! She continued to clean my room and woke me up! Do not disturb does not mean “please enter while I am sleeping”!

Pros: The staff was always very friendly and kindly. The room is great and the location is perfect! The breakfast is very good.

Cons: None

Pros: The hotel is in a good location with some good restaurants and nearby Paulista Avenue. The breakfast is ok.

Cons: At first i arrived at the property with a good half hour beforey check-in. The staff asked me to pay half diary and didn't asked my friend. After it the bathroom was so dirty with some slimes and other people hair (woman long hair). There were 2 power plugs and the light of the bathroom that didn't work. The shower towel wasn't clean (it was still dirty from people before) The walls are really thin and you can hear everything from the nearby bedrooms (i heard fights from 2 rooms after mins and even sex from a room nearby). Sometimes you have a bad cesspool smell everywhere at the hotel.

Pros: Service and hospitality

Pros: Clean room

Cons: The furniture is getting a bit long in the tooth

Pros: Very good price, breakfast, cleanliness e room.

Pros: Excellent staff, location and great breakfast.

Pros: Breakfast was good, the room was clean and nice. The neighborhood felt clean and safe with lots of food options and near the park. The view from the roof was amazing.

Cons: Couldn't use the hot tub because it took over 1 hour to heat up and by the time it was hot the staff came to close the facilities. Construction on the front patio was loud and made entry by foot difficult.

Pros: Very frienfly staff at reception and restaurant. Most are speaking English which is not so common

Pros: Location is very good. Near subway, Hospital, mall, restaurants, and Ibirapuera Park.

Cons: Couldn't get a champagne glass because it was past 10:30 and the restaurant was closed. Since the bedroom has a small kitchen, don't think you should depend on the restaurant being open to get access to dishes.

Pros: It was located with everything in walking distance that we needed. I felt very safe in what seemed to me to be an unsafe city.

Cons: The hotel was very loud. It sounded like people above and around us moving furniture all hours of the night and day. Finally figured out it was housekeeping moving the beds out to make them. Sound travels in the hotel with the design of the building. I was there for a major surgery so it was very difficult to be kept up all night by the constant noises for 2 1/2 weeks.

Pros: The apartment is really comfortable and has a lot of room.

Cons: Poor wifi signal. In our room there was no connection.

Pros: Some front staffs were really nice, friendly, willing to help but some female staffs were terrible. Especially, some young cleaning ladies were unbelievably rude.

Cons: It’s not far from the station but the slope is a bit tough.

Pros: Attentive and English-speaking staff, a good number of bathrooms that are clean so there is no problem taking turns, spacious rooms with locked luggage storage under the beds, and well-decorated common areas

Cons: Uphill climb to the metro, limited pans for cooking, expensive laundry but I guess that's true for all of São Paulo. Some guests making noise in the next room could be heard at night, but it was resolved when reported to staff.

Pros: One of the best prices for hostel in São Paulo. The individual room was clear, silent and a free fan was offered by the staff. There's a bar and restaurant with good prices. Grocery store a few steps from the hostel.

Cons: The location is very central, but to reach the closest metro station you have to climb up a big hill. The other option is take a bus, but you have to climb other hill (smaller). The shared bathroom wasn't much clean.

Pros: nothing

Cons: The bed was very uncomfortable , old mattress, no space, couldn't sit. Air condition was broken and didn't work. toilet was really smelly and the whole room was smelling too. Staffs were respectful but seemed lost, and lazy, didn't make any effort to help with anything, one guy was hitting on me . breakfast was very poor n not worth the 15 reais. value of money for the place is also not worthy . hostel has no vibe and bad atmosphere.

Cons: Customer service was terrible, the guy that checked me in was nice but after having worked in the hostel business for a decade I can tell you that they didn't care a bit about the clients. Worst breakfast I had in years of travelling Brazil, very noisy since early morning. Plus they sent me an email after check-in pointing out all the different weekly events, and I got back to the hostel to get to know other people and enjoy the pizza night. When I rocked up they said that they do not do any event anymore. I asked for a room temperature water bottle and they couldn't be asked to go get it in their storage room and rather sent me out of the way. That's not the way to treat clients. People stay in hostels to find a family away from home, this is not that type of place.

Pros: Very friendly staff and very good location (close to Avenida Paulista).

Cons: Could have been a bit cleaner (sheets and toilets in the bathrooms) and no air conditioning, only fans provided.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: In a nice safe area

Cons: There was nothing going on in the hostel was pretty dead

Pros: Comfortable bed in private room. Showers and toilets always clean. Good location (even with that trek up the hill)

Pros: The location of this hostel is great, walking distance to the metro and to Paulista street (although all up hill ha!) and the staff were helpful and friendly.

Cons: I found this hostel to be too cold for me, this made it uncomfortable. We asked for a second blanket on the 3rd night as we couldn’t bare the chill for any longer, sadly they charged us for it, I have found in other hostels in Brazil in winter they leave at least 3 thick blankets in the room for you! It was so cold I actually avoided showering because I couldn’t face coming from a hot shower into the coldness. The kitchen was very messy the first day we used it with no washing liquid for dishes but was much cleaner the second. They lacked in basic cutlery like having no bowls. Maybe this is a hostel for summer in Brazil but I wouldn’t recommend it if you like the basic luxury of heat.
