The kitchen is a great facility and happy hour Caiprinhas are fab. Good computers and good bunk beds with lights on each bunk. When I was there the hostel was a bit quiet even though it was a Saturday night, but I did travel in low season. The location is really nice, really safe area and close to lots of the attractions via metro or bus.

Thanks for your comments. That night at least 15 of us went out clubbing... When coming for Happy Hour Caipirinha, you gotta stay at the bar to meet the others, that's when socializing happens... You missed out on a good night out :)

Great location and facilities. Staff is always helpful and chatty. It is low season now so not enough people for a good atmosphere but I'm sure during high season it is awesome. Kitchen and bathrooms always clean so far.

The only problem is that, they don't accept any card. I was really surprised because in everywhere I prefer using a card instead of money. That's a negative point unfortunately, the rest is Ok.

Thanks for your comments. Any other hostels that accept card payments charge you more because of the added fees they have to pay to Visa and Mastercard. We chose not to take cards because that way we can charge you what is fair. We are located around all the major banks in Brazil and we even checked you in without an upfront payment so that was no issue. Brazilians are used to pay with cash, we understand. But its better for us to give you a fair price than charge you more cause of card

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clearly one of the best places to stay in Sao Paulo. Very clean and nice place. You get to socialize with everyone over the free Caipirinha and its party time from there! The staff arranged for a great place to party and even joined us along. It was great fun!

This is definitely an EXCELLENT hostel and I enjoyed my stay here SO MUCH! Facilities-wise, it just gave you everything you want. good wifi, clean and hot shower, adpator (just need to give a deposit of R10 and then when u check out and give them back the adaptor just get your deposit back), places for cooking, meeting people, free caprinhia each night. just you need to walk a while from Maksoud Plaza (where you get off from Airport Shuttle bus), like 5 blocks away.

the bar tender was very friendly but the rest of the staff was fairly unpleasant and not very enthusiastic about helping with any questions. The atmosphere was lacking in the community feel that many hostels provide.

Wow, that sucks! :( We pick our staff mainly based on the fact that they like meeting and helping people, and we're very particular about this. Also we are very well known for being the one hostel that focus a lot on the social aspect in Sao Paulo, getting people to hang out and make new friends and even going out every night. I'll get in touch with you to know more about these situations you encountered, cause it's quite unusual. Thanks for your comments anyway!

Staff are very nice, rooms are spacious with lots of plug sockets and lockers with plug sockets inside too! Bar is nice and cheap, although cant bring your own drinks in. Kitchen is well equipped, fairly big.. no breakfast though (although if youre out drinking you probably wouldnt make it anyway). Would definitely stay here again.

I really had great time there because you are able to meet a lot of people from all around the world. The location is excellent and the members of the staff are wonderful and very, very friendly!! And, of course, the party starts in the hostel!!

The staff were very helpful upon arrival. Great shower and bathroom facilities. This place was extremely clean, centrally located and the free Caipirinha went down well also. I was here for one night and have no complaints with regard to my stay.

The hostel itself was fine, clean and very secure but it felt a little lacking in soul, and the lack of a proper communal area in the main part of the hostel was a bit of a drawback. Staff were fairly helpful but often seemed surprised when asked a question about Sao Paulo or the hostel itself.

Definitely one of the best in the world!!!

Grazie mille! :)

Limetime´s staff was incredibly helpful and friendly and spoke very good English. The bathrooms were a little dirty, not from lack of cleaning, just overuse and grafitti. It is a great hostel for partying as they give a free caipirinhia every night at 9 and the bar has a good atmosphere (Daniel is a great bartender!). Beds in the dorms were awesome; included a light and the bottom bunks all had a curtain so you could keep your area dark. Lockers available but need your own lock; internet fast!
