I stayed at Sampa Hostel for three nights and was very pleased. The environment was so nice and the staff so helpful and friendly so it felt like we had knew them for a year. Well almost. We got maps and all the advices we needed. The breakfasts was also one of the best on my trip.

I stayed 12 days at the Sampa Hostel, and I highly recommend it! The location is great -- right in the center of Vila Madalena, a stone's throw from great bars and restaurants. Friendly staff, they took me in as a part of their family and made my time in Brazil very memorable! Thank you Sampa!

First of all, it is impossible to identify who you are. You did not sign your review or gave us the date that you stayed here at the hostel. None of the staffs remembers any situation like that. What means that you did not complain about anything to us, directly, at any time. And on March we were full almost... More

A great place to stay, and an even nicer staff to help you get settled while enjoying time or work in Sao Paulo, Brazil. As an American traveling to Brazil for the first time it was nice to have the small details handled by the Sampa hostel, such as a transfer to and from the airport upon arrival. Also, having... More

I don't usually stay in hostels, but with the quality of service here it hardly felt like one at all. Very friendly staff, I was impressed by the little things - our laundry was left outside to dry while we were out visiting and it started raining- the staff took it down and folded it for us. A nice breakfast... More

I have a nice staying at this hostel. The staff is very helpful and I have noticed they have a good English since the place had many foreign travelers. But the best thing there is the location in the heart VIla Madalena - one of the better neighbors in São Paulo, surrounded by many pubs, restaurants and art galleries. And... More
