Quirky hostel in great area, very helpful owner who is knowledgeable about the area, great breakfast. I stayed in the 12 bed dorm which was an average room, the rest of the hostel is nice with hammocks etc... Wi fi and hot water worked and they had a computer for guests use and communal kitchen. Loved the graffiti wall that... More

We stayed here fro 2 nights in a private room. It was quite noisy during the night, but you have to expect that for a hostel. The bathrooms were pretty old and dirty, and the breakfast was pretty average. But overall it was in a nice and safe area, and the rooms are clean with lockers inside the rooms. The... More

As a single female traveller I was a bit cautious about where to stay in SP due to safety. This place definitely made my trip. I was met in the middle of the night by a very welcoming staff. The hostal is clean, not too big, security cameras and a very personal atmosphere. The staff was eager to provide maps,... More

This hostel was a really nice surprise! Pass the front door and you'll find an impressive art collection! You can really feel the owner is a design lover. There are plenty of common places, and the patio is huge, which is nice considering the climate! The girls at reception speak perfect english and really helped out finding nice bars. Besides... More

This hostel is funky, arty & we felt very safe here. It is noisy at nights with people coming & going, but you have to expect that at a hostel. The staff were all very friendly & only to happy to help us, the map they provided we found very useful. 9 blocks or so to closest subway station but... More

Bad !!! i was in this hostel in sao paulo per 1 day and the guy who clean the room stole US$ 100 from my pants when i was in the bathroom taking a shower and the boss did not give the money about it. Very bad and it´s very simple and it´s not modern.

Gosh! It is not easy to get to by public transportation! You gotta walk a good 20 min to the hostel after the Clinicas subway station. It is in a safe and fun neighborhood.I am very disappointed with the bathrooms! They are really not attractive and fairly dirty. People are friendly but if you go during the week, after a... More

After a long and tirsome journey from the bus station we finally found this charming hostel. It is quite difficult to find and if you are on foot with backpacks, you might be better off getting a taxi. The nearset tube is a good 20 min walk away. We arrived very early so we had to wait a while for... More

I've stayed with Vila Madalena multiple times and have had great experiences. The staff and owner are incredibly welcoming. Rooms are clean, affordable, and the vibe of the hostel is great. Art is everywhere (i put some there myself, haha). I've become close friends with the people of VM and plan to always stay there when I go to SP.... More
