Great hostel! Free breakfast, internet and towels. Great location 2 blocks from metro. If you´re in Sampa, stay here.

Really liked this hostel, the staff were very friendly and always helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were kept very clean and the laundry was prompt. It was only 2 blocks from the metro and 4 blocks from the 24hr supermarket. We didnt go on any organised nights out but there was lots of info on places to go and free and fun things to do during the day. An excellent stay all round! Only complaint would be that some of the other guests there with us were a bit rude but that can´t be helped lol

The staff at this hostel were absolutely brilliant! they went out of their way to help you out in any way they could. they all spoke excellent english and they really made our stay in sao paulo. there was a good sofa area with tv but if there were already people sitting there was not really anywhere else to hang out. we felt really safe in this area.

We received a warm welcome and the stuff was very friendly and helpful in giving tips on what to do and how to get there. We booked a private room with own toilet, but unfortunately the water wasn\'t working so we had 1 day no water, shower and toilet and needed to go to the toilet next to the living room (which was not all the time working either and was used by the whole hostel - no private bathroom at all). Otherwise nice hostel in a quite area with good connections to the metro.   Read Owner Comments

I enjoyed my stay here. Very clean and very convenient location cloise to the metro. After I made my reservation the staff contacted me in advance to let me know several large groups were staying at the hostel at the same time - very thoughtful!

Easy to Find. Easy to stay. Easy to relax. Okupe get's my vote as first choice for the mega city. Staff was very helpful and the atmosphere is very relaxing, like a balm after the trials of navigating the labyrinth of Sao Paulo and they make great, and cheap Carpinhas -yummy

rooms were dim and the matresses were incredibly dirty and smelly. sheets were not changed on our arrival and we were given the wrong sheets twice and only got a full set when we went to the store ourselves. breakfast was poor. on the plus side, security was very good in a dodgy area.   Read Owner Comments

Convenient for Metro, but not for a night out. Staff were really good and food & beer is available at the hostel cheaply. All you can eat dinner for 10 Reais is a real bargain. Vila Mariana is just not a great part of town to be in, and the top bunks are really high and unsteady.
