Bom custo-benefício, mas a limpeza é bem abaixo da média.

The common areas like the TV room, bar area and pool area are nice but everything else is pretty dirty, old and falling apart. Location is great because its right next to a Metro station and grocery store isnt too far.

hostel in nice residencial area, thou not very easy to find from the nearest tube station. place was kinda dead at the time when I stayed and was not much to do in closest area(which is very safe btw!)around 20 min walk from Paulista or 2 tube stations. clean rooms and nice swimming pool are very big plus! unfortunately guys working there are not very helpfull and nice :( whats a pity as it could be very good place to hang out!

The staff on the front desk were generally friendly but other staff around the place (such as in the kitchen for breakfast) were often quite rude and did not return our smiles or even say "good morning." Unfortunately the toilet in our room was not functioning so we had to use others which were pretty filthy. Good location being near the subway, though it would have been good to be right in Vila Madalena. Quite social, but to a point where loud people kept us awake at night.

Generally a good place, average for São Paulo. Friendly and helpful staff. The facilities are not in too good condition and bathrooms were rather dirty, sometimes toilet paper missing. Close to metro (crucial in Sampa) and quiet neighbourhood.

Amazing hostel! Saci immediately felt like home we were sad to leave! All of the staff and fellow travelers were very helpful. The other brazilians especially were extremely welcoming, and were happy to take us out and try to teach us some portuguese. Highly recommended.

It's a great hostel. Once a month they throw a crazy party that is lots of fun. The people staying here have been great. And the staff is wonderful; particularly Pedro, Rodriguez, and Grace. The one downside, as is often the case, is not having enough bathrooms. One of them broke during the stay and is still not fixed leaving four bathrooms for at least 20-30 people. They will take care of you here. Lots of fun. Recommend staying here.

Great Hostel! I have been to a lot of hostels in my life and this one is one of my favorites. Great staff, especially Pedro. Quite a character, honest and very helpfull. The type of guy who will give good advice without asking for it ;-) Tell him you like Lady Gaga and there is no wrong you can do.

Because of the bus, we arrived early in the morning. Thanks to Pedro, we were able to sleep in the living room before checking in hours later. He was really nice, helpful, and always with a smile ! The place is nice with beautiful street arts. And the swimming pool is a lovely plus in this city !
