Vila Rock Hostel

The breakfast could be better.

Quirky hostel in a plush, safe neighbourhood in Sao Paulo. Paulo, the man who runs the place, is charming, extremely helpful, and speaks excellent English. The rooms are comfortable. The location of the hostel is fantastic. The metro is very nearby and Paulista Av is 15-20 easy walk away. Highly recommended!

My husband and I went there for our short honeymoon and we loved the atmosphere! We spent hours talking to Paulo (who’s great, btw) and he gave us good tips on what to do in the surroundings. The hostel is clean and it’s very near the subway station.

The only downside was that a few receptionists didn’t seem to be in the mood for working (specially at hostels, considering that people are usually very friendly and open).

Owners were really friendly and the hostel felt like a home.

Not many people in the hostel (low season). Activities arranged outside the hostel rather than internally.

Hostel has a great atmosphere and a nice rock theme interior. The private room was good with a really nice bed. Staff was very helpful and did a great job making our stay in São Paulo a nice experience. We would definitely come back here.
