I won't recommend this HI hostel to anyone who visits Sao Paulo. Is far from the center of the city. Worst thing is the hotel is located an inclined road so every morning you should climb up the street and then walk four or five blocks to reach the metro station (they say its near bur it's not).
You know, I paid for one kind of room and ended in a dormitory with seven other people. You can imagine how bad the situation was at the morning with all these people trying to go the bathroom and the noise when someone entered the room in the middle of the night.
Be careful, they don't accept VISA credit cards. I had an argument with the staff because of that and they were about to call the police because I only had Peruvian currency. Lucky me a guy sold me some dollars to pay the bill. Because of that problem, I lost my bus connection to Rio and ended with a terrible backache for carrying my luggage thru the inclined road.
I will never return to Praça da Arvore, it's the worst hostel I've been in my life.

This HI hostel is a great place to stay if you need to be near Congonhas airport in Sao Paulo. We only stayed a night, but it was clean, comfortable and spacious and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing - the best we had the whole month we were in Brasil.
- Liked — The friendly and excellent service!
- Disliked — beds just a little hard?
