Such a wonderful surprise once we got off the train to find that the hostel was directly in the station! Everyone was wonderful and the building was beautiful! Really enjoyed all of the events the staff offered like the walk to the park for sunset!!! and the evening dinner, so much hospitality!

Cool place. I walked there from the train station but would love to have taken the metro right to the station where the hostel is located. Staff was lovely and helpful. Would stay there again!

The staff is the best part, they are all extremely kind and helpful. The kitchen area on the top floor for breakfast was collegial. There's an elevator, laundry room and very clean bathrooms. It was a novelty to stay here, in a private room. But the city is digging a new subway line directly in front of the hostel, so the windows face into a noisy construction zone. The room has blackout drapes but ... there's a window at loft bed-level, above the door, where every time someone walks down the hallway and triggers the motion sensor light, your room lights up.

Nice, convenient location in the city centre. Some nice activities run by the staff. The hostel does have people popping in and and out at odd hours. The cleaning ladies do a fabulous job and are very helpful. Breakfast is average and depends on on who has woken up after last nights pub crawl to get things ready for the guests, accordingly some items may or may not be there. No food or drinks allowed in the dorm but that doesn't stop people from opening a bottle of wine and drinking it openly or turning the lights on at mid night or talking loudly. While some are more respectful of others privacy, the others may be not. Beware that there could be some guests lurking around just to make friends for a free drink and more. But as I said all in all it is convenient and that's important.

This is such a marvelous hostel! The ever patient and friendlystaff, the relaxed and easy atmosphere. There are all sorts of little details that make it a special place, l(ike the key bracelets that save you from looking for the room key all the time! ) And the iconic building - a gorgeous space right inside the beautiful Sao Bento train station. A unique and special hostel…..

I chose this hostel for the location inside the historic train station and opportunity to meet other travelers. The hostel hosts daily events and activities for guests. The staff were helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were very modern. The bed was comfortable. Rooms felt secure. It is also close to popular attractions and public transit. I would stay here again.

Beautiful hostel and city, close to everything you need and staff where amazing and very helpful. Only downside was my bed was to high up and metal bar stopping you falling out was far too low as I move a lot in my sleep otherwise fantastic cheap place to stay for a few nights

The only criticism I have is that the showers didn’t have a ‘dry bit’ to keep towels and clothes etc while showering, I had to leave outside. Was a bit difficult to find but I think that’s just because of the roadworks. Everything else was fantastic, really really good value.
