Staying at Bistu Hotel in Vila Nova Conceição, São Paulo was a real highlight. The hotel has a simple yet cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The stay was honest and straightforward, exactly what you'd expect for the price.

It's convenient, clean, and well-located—just a short walk or quick transit ride away from the hospital. No frills, but everything works as it should. A reliable choice with great value, and I’d definitely come back if needed.
The Paulista Garden Hotel is perfectly located—just a short walk from the city center and surrounded by great restaurants and shops.

Staying at Guest Urban Hotel Design Pinheiros was an absolute highlight of my trip to São Paulo. The hotel truly stands out with its unique, artistic design—every corner feels intentional and stylish, from the lighting to the wall details. Located in the vibrant Pinheiros neighborhood, it's super convenient for getting around by metro, and there are plenty of great local restaurants just steps away. My room was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in a breeze.

I highly recommend this hotel! Located just steps away from the metro, it’s incredibly convenient for getting around São Paulo. The breakfast is a great touch, but what really stands out is the guest kitchenette with a microwave and stove—perfect for preparing your own meals. There’s a small grocery store nearby, and laundry services are right in front of the building, making daily errands super easy.

The location is absolutely perfect—just a 3-minute walk to República Metro station, with small grocery stores nearby and easy access to Avenida Paulista via Uber. The apartment itself is cozy, clean, and well-maintained, making it a comfortable home away from home. One minor issue I noticed: if you leave trash near the sink area, occasional cockroaches would appear, even though the overall space was kept very clean. I’m not sure where they’re coming from, but it’s definitely not due to the host—the cleanliness standards are high. Kitchen essentials are available, but having a pressure cooker would be a nice upgrade, especially for someone like me who just can’t live without a good pot of beans (I’m from Rio!). That said, it’s more of a personal preference. A quick note to fellow guests: please respect the space—wash dishes after use and avoid leaving burnt pots behind. The host’s service is outstanding—prompt responses at any time, always helpful and professional. Everything promised in the listing is delivered, including laundry services, which are reasonably priced and not excessive. Overall, my stay was fantastic. Kudos to the whole team—great experience!
The staff at the front desk and throughout the hostel were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Breakfast time was absolutely packed—so lively, I laughed out loud! Honestly, after traveling through 57 countries over eight months, this was the most energetic breakfast vibe I’ve ever experienced. That said, the price is super affordable and includes a simple breakfast, so don’t expect luxury—just come in with realistic expectations. The main downside? The door doesn’t close automatically, and the metal staircase makes carrying luggage up and down quite challenging. Still, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly stay with a vibrant atmosphere and solid value, this place is worth considering. It’s conveniently located near public transit, making it easy to explore São Paulo. For a no-frills, authentic backpacker experience, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for.
The staff were incredibly polite and attentive—truly welcoming and helpful! Initially assigned to room 412, I noticed the mattress and pillows needed replacing, and the air conditioning wasn’t working. After reporting it, I was promptly moved to room 208, which was a fantastic upgrade. The room is spacious, with brand-new bedding, fully functional air conditioning, and an amazing, stylish decor that really stood out. While the first room had some issues, the hotel’s quick response and seamless reassignment made all the difference. It’s clear they care about guest comfort and satisfaction. A great stay overall—highly recommend for anyone visiting São Paulo.
