Only one toilet for aprox 20 beds, triple bunk beds very risky to fall from, no window in 12-people room, door lock didn't work. They rent the computer for internet use at 3,50 reais rent. Free wifi, good breakfast, free drinks at night, cool staff.

Hi there and thanks for your review. We always have 3 public, and 2 private toilets available 24/7. In 2 days a newly built toilet and a newly built shower will become publicly available. We are waiting for the cement to dry ;-) The triple bunk-beds will receive an upgrade in 2 days, for which the pieces have already arrived, making it impossible to fall out, but still possible to get in. Buddy you booked for the 10-bedded BASIC cheapest of the cheapest dorm. It has adequate air ventilation, a glass door and 2 windows. If you prefer more of everything, you could have upgraded to a more expensive room for only R$1,- that day. Enjoy your trip!

El hostel tiene una excelente ubicación, a dos cuadras de Av. Paulista, una de las màs importantes de Sao Paulo, tienes el metro, omnibus y el museo de arte moderno, MASP. La casa es muy linda. El desayuno,muy bueno. La habitación privada estaba llena de pulgas, y NO tiene baño privado, este se comparte y se encuentra siempre mojado el piso ya que la ducha no tiene protector, es bastante sucio. Si quieres descansar no es ésta la opción ya que ponen musica muy fuerte durante la noche. Candela.

Hola, gracias por disfrutar de nuestro desayuno. Llamamos a un experto para el diagnóstico de la situación. Él no encontró ninguna evidencia de cualquier plaga, y ofreció la sugerencia de que podría haber sido los mosquitos. Nosotros hacemos el control de plagas preventivo 3 veces al año. Anunciamos nuestro dormitorio privado con baño COMPARTIDO (lo que significa que NO es privado). Nos anunciamos Beats como un HOSTEL DE FIESTA (eso significa que HAY música a todo volumen). Su estancia en esta maravillosa ciudad habría sido mucho más placentera, si sólo había leído la descripción del lugar que has reservado.

Hi there and thank you for your review! There is free wifi available, and a netbook that you can rent from reception 24/7. We have 1 toilet with shower for every 6 guests. We hope you enjoyed The Beats and Sao Paulo! Happy trails :-)

The staff were really friendly and helpful but the facilities were not amazing. The room was small and the bathroom was small and toilet was broken. The door lock was broken too. You have to prepare your breakfast yourself. The location and friendly staff was the best of it, only one block and a half from Av. Paulista. It really is a party hostel if you dont care so much about facilities.

Hi there and thank you for your review! We fixed the toilet that was continuously running. A variety of breakfast stuff is served on the bar, but we don't actually make your sandwich for you if that is what you mean? Thank you for liking the staff, they liked to party with you too :-) Cheers

Location is perfect and the male staff was superb-fantastic!!! My favorite hostel so far out of five, mostly because of its location and security.

Hated this place. When we arrived another guest was looking for his Iphone. It was stolen out of the hostel and the girl at the reception didn't care at all. She was to busy with her facebookaccount. By the way, she didn't care about anything. There are to many beds in one room and if you try to climb on the top one in a dorm the bed almost falls down. And at 5 in the morning some guys came in our room yelling and they continued to make a lot of noise downstairs. Staff didnt care at all.

Hi there. When you tried cancelling your last night with us because of "altered travel plans", you were informed you would get no money back. Our cancellation policies are pretty normal, and abundantly stated. Then you tried to blackmail us by saying that if we wouldn't give you back money, you would leave a hate-review. You became angry that we didn't buckle, but decided to stay. Guess what? We don't take your review serious.

Absolutely perfect location; why I would return. The rest was above average-TOO LOUD AFTER MIDNIGHT-they do not folow their own policies.

I really got suprised with this hostel, it was better than expected. There are some people living there that made the difference, really funny and animated people. The major problem was the bathroom. Too tight, and the shower is almost above the sink. I got the shared room downstairs, I don't know how it's upstairs on the other rooms. But an overall, it was great! I loved the entrance, the living room, the bedroom is great for the price, the location is perfect, near everything. I recomend.

Great location, wi-fi, and the private room has a key. That's about it. The bathrooms are a mess, since the shower and toilet are in the same place and everything is always wet and muddy when people walk in. You should also bring your own hand soap... Plus it's tough to sleep at night with the loud music and noise downstairs that goes well over 3 in the morning.

Hi and thank you for your review! Soap dispensers have just been installed in all bathrooms, and they are cleaned 5 times a day. We advertise as a party hostel, but we keep the noise down after around 1-2am. Please ask reception for free earplugs next time around ;-) Cheers

My room had semll of smoke similar to cigarettes, i seen this on previous review and it was right? That made stay there uncomfortable and there was noise thru night till morning from staff downstairs partying as well. I would not stay at this hostel again, only good thing was location.

The hostel is new, so there's some mistakes with cleanliness! The other hostel of the same owners (3dogs) is much better.

Thanks for your 100% rating in 3Dogs, we have done our very best to crank up to that same level in The Beats Hostel! The bathroom problem is taken care of, they are cleaned 5 times a day now. Come check out our bar! Cheers.

Cleaning rooms at 9am is not really convenient (people need the bathroom) or polite (some where still sleaping and the lady was very noisy). Never had a hostel that started cleaning before check out time.

Thank you for the review. Some people get up very early (7am), take a shower, and leave the bathroom very dirty. Then people that get up later (9am) will find a dirty bathroom. That is why we clean it in between. We will tell the cleaning staff to clean as quietly as possible. We hope you had a safe flight home!
