Everything in this hostel was really great, good breakfast, great location to get to central Sao Paulo and it had a chilled out atmosphere with cool people.

Provide more accurate description of the way from the metro station to the hostel. Almost nobody knows the street, where the hotel is located. I was asking around, but nobody could give me any information, finally I approached taxi driver and he told me where Doutor Marrey Junior street is (in fact, it is 5 minutes from the subway station).

A nice stay. Clean, great breakfast, great showers, friendly staff. Location is quite close to the metro. Another good thing is that you're close to the airport, so a taxi won't be that expensive (100R for us).

Very happy with my stay here. Great staff, good wifi. Nice breakfast, which did however run out a few times, and refilling took some time. Convenient with close location to the bus station and the airport, a 20 or so subway ride from downtown though.

Nice enough for a stop off, and very close to the metro and bus station is just a couple of stops away. Very convenient. Good staff are happy to advise you.

I'm surprised this is so highly rated. Located some way from the centre, but quite decent for the airport. Toilet had no seat and the dorms were quite stuffy without a good fan.

Excellent hostel, well recommended! People who run this place are lovely and make you feel at home. Easy access to centre of Sao Paulo via metro tube and hostel is situated in a nice neighbourhood with bars and restaurants close by.

DOM Hostel was excellent. We wanted to be somewhere close to the Airport as well as close to the Metro so we could venture all over Sao Paulo. The hostel was clean and the facilities were great. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hostel to other backpackers for sure.

The place was quite hidden and lacked a sign at the front, even the taxi driver had trouble finding it. The shuttle service from the airport also cost about the same as a taxi, which wasnt cheap.. However, the place had itself was nice, very clean and a good place to stay. The facilities were also good but it didn't have a very fun atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly but be prepared if your portuguese isnt so good as only one of them can speak English.

Hello dear guests, I'm very sorry if your experience was not so good coming to this hostel. The transfer service costs the same as the taxi even though we have to pay the parking fee and take time to wait at the terminal's gate, etc. I think it's a perfect deal concerning it's service. We've done everything that we could to please you, doing early check in at 3am, not charging any extra for that. About the trouble to find the hostel it's probably because of taxi's GPS or something and not our fault, and we don't have any sign at the front to avoid the exposure, to keep our guests safe. As this this a hostel to relax, we don't welcome loud party type activities. At the most, maybe a caipirinha in the lounge to relax and talk with the other guests. Maybe next time you might join us and have some fun :) If you ever return to SP, we will be glad to welcome you here again.
