Located in the lively Vila Madalena district, near many bars and restaurants, Ô de Casa Hostel offers modern accommodation with free WiFi and 24-hour reception.

i can’t even describe with words how amazing my stay in ô de casa hostel was. there was an awesome and colourful vibe here that i absolutely loved and will forever cherish! as soon as i got there all the staff were super lovely and helpful and such beautiful personalities! i felt safe throughout my whole stay. the place was comfortable and very clean and showers worked well. they also have a kitchen and a fridge, which was super helpful! there was great atmosphere all day long in this hostel and in the evening, the hostel bar is vibrant and fun and people go for bar crawls/clubs in the night. the location was perfect as it is in the Pinheiros area of São Paulo, which is full of vibrant coffee shops, yoga studios, bars, restaurants and live music everywhere! for me, it felt like i was home here! thank you so much ô de casa for making my stay in São Paulo so unforgettable!

Situated in Sao Paulo, Lamparina Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property.

I felt really at home at lamparina! the hostel is designed in a very social way, i found it really easy to meet people. the staff is super lovely. it's a very familiar vibe but they'll let you know about parties in the neighborhood so its also a great place if you want to go out. the hostel itself is quiet at night. i would definetly go back! especially as a solo traveller. also everything was really clean.

    This place is really cool, colorful and relaxed. They serve delicious breakfast. There are many hammocks to chill out in. Great location in the city center, from what we’ve heard from the locals it is one of the safer neighbourhoods of Sao Paulo. There is a bar at the hostel but it closes up quite early so it doesn’t bother you at night. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Also, the price is surprisingly cheap. the room is very very simple but clean. the mattresses are good, a bit hard but I was happy about it, cos I have spine problems- slept like a log. reception works 24 hours, which is great. and the stuff was very nice and helpful
