Simply the best place in Sao Paulo. Location is just perfect, fell steps from the subway station and the great Avenida Paulista. The atmosphere is great and the staff know how to be friends and do a party. Alan and Danilo are the guys!

The place is amazing, full of graffiti arts on the walls. The location is the best in town just at avenida Paulista and close to the metro. The breakfast was ok. And the bar had people evey night. I would like to stay again!

Great staff, friendly and at the same time very qualified, the hostel is quite clean and the services are good. Breakfast could be improved with some more options. Location is superb! It would be good if one or two single/double rooms were available.

In general terms the hostel was fine, unfurtunatly it seems to be quite humid all the time and a bit smelly but not thaaat bad. Also the sheets in the bedroom where too short for the size of the mattres (and it was a small one) so if you moved a bit the bed was a complete mess so that was a negative point also.

Its got a prime location near Paulista and staff are ok. But the facilities on offer are pretty poor. The male shower was out of order for a few days leaving everyone in the hostel to use the 2 female showers. A strange smell also ran over the hostel on afternoons. It wasn't the cleanest place (yes hostels aren't always spick and span but this wasn't clean that much). The kitchen facilities were woeful.

Had a great time over there. Great people all over the place. Some times the toilets were kind of dirty

Nice place to be with really super friendly staff! The only thing: the shower is clean but you can't lock the door. So you don't have privacy. And when I stayed there one of the two toiletts was not working. But all in all a nice place in a save neighborhood.

The location is awesome, just next to the Av Paulista. I had some problems with the shower in the end of the day (they had no water !), in one our they fixed it, but it was disgusting. The rooms had no keys, but we had lockers in the room. The breakfast was ok.
