Kids marvel at the colossal locomotives, while adults drift into nostalgic reveries. More than a museum, this is a living tribute to Brazil’s railway legacy—a place where history isn’t displayed, it breathes.

Te Adoro Hotel (Adult Only)
The place was absolutely terrible—run-down, dirty, and in desperate need of renovation. Everything looked worn out and unclean, and the overall condition was disappointing. The room wasn’t hygienic at all, and the facilities were poorly maintained. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone, not even a friend in a pinch. It’s a complete waste of time and money. Definitely not worth it.
Corinto Hotel
We booked the Corinto suite at this hotel, and it was a complete disappointment. The place was filthy—especially the hot tub, which was supposed to be the highlight of the room, but instead was dirty and unhygienic. Even though we didn’t use it for obvious reasons, there was a ridiculous leak in the room that left the floor completely soaked. We ended up having to use our face towels just to dry off. The blanket was full of holes and clearly made from very poor-quality materials. The sauna bench was greasy and stained, and honestly, we didn’t even try using it. To make matters worse, none of the hotel’s pools were operational. Overall, it was a frustrating stay with no redeeming qualities. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone.
Graja Hostel

What really stood out was the amazing value for money—being so centrally located without breaking the bank is a rare find. The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly, going above and beyond to make sure I felt at home. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience special.

The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the metro and super close to everything worth seeing. The hostel offers incredible value for money, with clean, cozy rooms and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. The common lounge is perfect for working during the day or hanging out in the evening with board games, movies, and great conversations. The staff and regular guests are genuinely warm and friendly—they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time in the neighborhood and the city. Special shoutout to Saulo, the owner—he’s incredibly kind, always available, and truly cares about everyone’s well-being. It’s clear he runs this place with heart. I left feeling like I’d made new friends and discovered a hidden gem. Definitely coming back, and I’ll be bringing my travel buddies next time.
