Fodor's
"On rainy days young people lounge on the couches in this classic backpacker's hostel that's complete with do-it-yourself laundry facilities and a cook-for-yourself kitchen."
Rough Guide
"Despite the name, this is a hostel rather than a pousada, with most accommodation in (segregated) dorms, although it has some private rooms too (with or without bathroom)."
Lonely Planet
"On a quiet, almost suburban street, yet just a short walk to Av Paulista, this veteran hostel offers decent communal digs, bright and pleasant common areas, and private rooms of varying sizes." Full review

Lonely Planet
"Provides remarkable style and comfort... in downtown's hippest and safest area." Full review
