    I really liked this hostel alot. Tulio and the gang are super nice and know SO much about Sao Paulo (day and night), which is important in a gigantic city like that. The hostel is cute, cute clean and well-set up. Warmer shower water would be great though :-/ Also note its a bit far from the... more

    Great hostel, very helpful staff. Easily the best hostel in SP. The only issue would be the breakfast but you can always make your own for cheap.

    Tulio (and his friends from staff) shows how to run a hostel and make his guest feel welcome. He/they will spend unlimited time giving you explanations and recommendations that always turn great. Old building furbished with a great touch of style. One of best we've ever been to. Thanks guys!

    Great open common space with wi-fi accessible throughout. Excellent cleanliness in bathrooms and dorm rooms. Nice ambience, friendly staff and an average breakfast.  A 15 min walk to the metro, but an easy walk to bars and restaurants.

    Everything about this hostel is great, except one of the front desk staff. I think his name is Luis and he needs to rethink his attitude and his approach to dealing with people. On the other hand, the other staff members are all awesome, especially the guy who cleans the rooms and sets up...

    I legitimately cannot say enough good things about VMH. From the instant I arrived they sat me down and gave me a run-down of the best places in the city (maps included) which served as the basis for the rest of my time there. Also, they were incredibly helpful in giving me information on... more

    Most travelers say that it isn't worth going to Sau Paulo...This hostel makes it worth while. Its set in a great location, with amazing staff. One of the cleanest hostels i have stayed in. The breakfast would be better with a bit more fruit! Top Hostel

    Bit spread out, not many people, concrete floors, un-homely common room, had to wait an hour for someone to turn up on reception when leaving to get by bags out of storage. Great location though if you like street art/galleries.

    Wonderful stay there, like a little oasis in Sao Paulo. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Internet is speedy. Prepare to walk a bit to the subway but Vila Madalena neighborhood is safe. Close to some good-value Lanchonete at the corner.

    This great little hostel is in a wonderful, artistic suburb of the city. We stayed in a double and a four-bed dorm, both were immaculately clean and had extremely comfortable beds. The hostel owner and staff were extremely informative - far better than any guidebook. And the area was creative,... more

    The effort these guys go to is incredible. Very clean, obsessively clean. Great character, always mood music playing. Comfy hammocks,good tv room. Air conditioning in the rooms. If you ask for info about Sao Paulo expect a 30 min response. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the metro tho.
