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

The entire hotel is smoke-free, but there are no connecting rooms (rarely requested anyway because of the limited number of families staying here).

"This sleek, three-and-a-half-pearl hotel offers some high-end elements -- especially since it rebranded as a Radisson Blu in 2016 and added extras like butler service, shoe shines, and bikes." Full review
