Most Sao Paulo hotels get funny about you bringing a guest back to your room. If you turn up with someone at night, they will often demand R$50 to R$70, even if your hotel room is booked for two guests (I'm looking at you, Bourbon on Carvalho and Golden Tulip Belas Artes). But this hotel doesn't bat an eyelid. They... More

This is a basic hotel. Bring your own shampoo and ask for a hair dryer at the front desk. Bed and bath facilities were clean, if a bit cramped. Wifi works great- you just have to pay extra for it. Breakfast was somewhat sparse for the price (everything was cold, only hot option was to make your own toast at... More

I've stayed at this hotel many times before, and will probably stay many more in the future. It's very conveniently located, even if its inner-city neighbourhood is not without problems. In all fairness, I've noticed a great deal of improvement in the area, as city authorities are trying to "clean it up". Other than that, it's reasonably priced, with clean... More

A compact basic room, but clean with all the essentials. A Double bed with a bunk bed above your head to accomodate a third person if required. 5 minutes walk from the metro, with a few shops and eateries nearby. Near enough to walk to the centre and take in many of the main sites. More

This hotel itself is a good one. Rooms are clean, well mantained and cozy. But this location is somewhat strange. It is located in the centre of São Paulo, a region that is not easy to understand. The subway station is close, but not close enough to carry a large luggage by foot. At night, avoid to do this or... More

Located 10 minutes from Republica metro station, this hotel offers affordable, but basic accommodations. The staff are friendly and willing to help. The breakfast (sweet breads, toast, juice, coffee and fruit) is simple, but filling. Pros: Clean, comfortable, affordable, central location Cons: Small (think of a university dormitory) rooms More

There isn't too much one can write about a property like this - the rooms are small, but functional and can house 3. The location is fantastic for the Centro area, and is a short walk from multiple transit routes. There are supermarkets near by for food, plenty of places to drink and eat - all in all, as locations... More

Great location, just a few blocks from the Republica Metro Station. Clean and helpful staff. No problems at all. You have to pay 7 reais for the breakfast - simple but ok. More

If you're looking for a clean and descent place to stay without all the bells and whistles and on a budget, this is the best option in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. There are four Formule 1 Hotels in SP and one in Rio, and they are all exactly the same to each other. We've stayed in the Centro... More
