Okupe Hostel - Vila Mariana Reviews

I liked the good place where the Vila Mariana Hostel is placed. Also it was very easy to book and get in the bedroom, without any problem. But I had problem with at the bathroom. It wasn't clean and I found that a quite problematic. anyway, I enjoyed my stay at the Hostel and the breakfast was very good :)

The place was clean and quiet, (No good for those who like to party at the hostel in the common areas due to what they call "The silence law) had the chance to meet nice ppl and staff was helpful when asking for info related to airport transfers and sightseeing.

Really do NOT recomend this hostel. Only stay at Okupe Vila Mariana if you really need to stay at this neighbourhood (the subway. The forniture is old, so as the sheets (that are not cleaned for each guest). During 5 days my room wasn't cleaned even once. The maid is extremely moody, the staff is ok but no very responsible (they made a party for their friend that went up to 4 am). If you stay at the bedrooms on the ground floor you can hear everything upstairs because the floor is made of wood.

Okupe is a great place to stay. It is located within a nice safe neighborhood, not far from the metro and sites. I had a great time, the staff went out of their way to help me even on their off time. The facilities were kept clean, I recommend the 8 bed dorm. It is a very chill, down to earth place where you can meet some of the coolest people.
