Wow, what a hostel! We spend 4 nights in this hostel and we were really excited about it. Perfect location close to many good restaurants and very close to the metro station. It's all extremely clean and well maintained. The breakfast is awesome (very tasty cakes and fresh juice). We can highly recommend this place!

We felt very welcome at the hostel which is well located, close to the cultural heart of São Paulo, close to the Metro, to reach other interesting parts of São Paulo.

Very friendly staff Close to the shopping center (3 mins) Just be careful to find the hostel:take the exit D from the métro Paraiso, go on the right side, you Will find 2 gas stations: turn on the right after the 1st one, go straight, walk 50m. Here is Cardim :)

Muito obrigada por tudo Veronica! Eu tive uma estadia muito agradável em seu hostel. A maior vantagem é o café da manhã: foi muito melhor do que alguns hotéis que eu fiquei! Espero que tudo vai bem. Abraços, Maio

Bella Paulista is comfortable and well located, with incredibly gracious staff and owners. it is not a party hostel by any means. it's just a comfortable, pleasant place to stay. Love the fresh papaya for breakfast!

If you like quiet, then this hostel suit you. Is a small home type hostel, no activities, no early check in, no english speak staff, no partying, no making noisy at night, no convenient on charging electric appliances, no..... One good point is the cleanness and good breakfast where you can try owner homemake cake.

Located a 5 min walk to Avenue Paulista one way and Paraiso subway stop the other, this hostel is ideally located close to amenities whilst being very tranquil! The hosts are very friendly and the whole place very clean. The highlight is the breakfast - fresh orange juice, cookies, cake and bread. Amazing!

The whole experience was excellent. Really helpful staff who although don't know much English (but they do know many languages) were able to effectively communicate with their tablet and Google Translate. The room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable and there are lots of nice seating areas both indoors and outside. The proximity to Avenue Paulista is great and the breakfast was really decent with freshly squeezed orange juice, a selection of breads, cheeses, cold meats, fresh fruit & cake

This was absolutely the best hostel i have ever stayed at! It was incredibly clean, they were so helpful and ready to receive us at 1:30 am and had a delicious breakfast in the morning. it was absolutely amazing and wish everyone maintained the service that they did! They can also arrange to take you to the airport. Absolutely the best! Don't think twice about booking this hostel!

This great hostel has hotel standards with a hostel atmosphere. I booked a single room but received a free upgrade to the double. Owner Veronique walked me at the night of my arrival to a nearby restaurant to make sure I would be in good hands. What a service and a great example of the kindness of Brazilians. The breakfast the next morning was excellent with homemade cookies. I can really recommend this hostel for it's location, breakfast, staff, and quality of the spotless rooms.
