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.

Aline the owner was super nice and very helpful in planning our stay in São Paulo and even the rest of our trip. The hostel is very cute and clean, especially very nice bathrooms.

Shower ran cold - warm otherwise everything was great

Highly recommend! This place was super welcoming with friendly staff. Clean room and the kitchen was large and clean as well. Overall vibes were great location on point too, I only stayed for 1 night before my flight but definitely a cute social spot for those solo travellers 💛🧡💛

The bed might be a bit small if you're tall. If you're over 1.90m you might have to lay diagonally to sleep.

Nice and social hostel. Easy to meet new people. I had the six person dorm, which was nice and comfortable. Big closets to store your suitcase or backpack. Personal lockers. The kitchen is well equipped and is nice to prepare a meal in. They also have a room with two desks so you can work a little on your laptop.

Very clean, good Location like 5 min to the metro and good Food around. The voluntaries were super fun and very social. A big thanks to Mateus, Tainá, Daniel, Estefany, and Jess for making the time at Lamparina feeling like a flat share and like home and the lots of laughs. Everytime again. <3

Our room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly as there were some dust balls on the ground when we checked in.

Staff were super friendly and helpful with suggestions and getting around the city. Location was great, 10 min walk to the metro station, grocery store and restaurants nearby. On Sunday, there was even a small street market around the corner. Bathrooms were cleaned daily.

I wish I didn't have to wait outside in the early morning, even though I arrived during reception working hours. But the neighborhood seems safe enough + it was Christmas + the staff was really nice about it, so it all worked out in the end.

I was lucky enough to visit around Christmas, when the hostel wasn't too full, and when I had to wait outside the gate for about 40 minutes, the staff was really nice about it and offered to move me from a female dorm to a private room (it had 3 beds, but no one was staying there), as well as stay in the room past check-out time on Christmas Day, because my flight was late at night, all free of charge. It was a perfect place to end my trip, get some rest before a long journey back. There was a Sunday farmer's market right next to it, and the subway stop was very close as well. The kitchen is very well-equipped, which was a blessing after other hostels I stayed at during my time in Brazil. There was no AC in the room, only a ceiling fan, but I was extremely happy about that because ACs make me sick. All common spaces were very cozy. I loved everything about my stay at Lamparina!

The girls room was not good. The beds are really loud and wiggling with every movement.

The mixed dorm was fantastic! There are curtains at every bed, plugs and light and it really feels like a private place. Can totally recommend those. Staff in the hostels speaks no English but still is trying their best and is amazing!!
