Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very basic but expect nothing other than somewhere to rest yourself at night! The whole place could do with a tidy up but I have stayed in far worse and paid a lot more. The staff were a credit to the establishment, very friendly & helpful, much knowledge of the local area. This is a rough neighbourhood as one would expect of downtown SP so be prepared! I would recommend and stay at Balcony Hostel again.

Don't expect anything fancy! This place is quite simply a bed for the night. I read reviews prior to staying which weren't complimentary but I'd be inclined to disagree! Yes, the neighbourhood is rough but what do you expect in downtown SP?! The staff were knowledgeable, spoke good English and were very helpful. The place itself was basic but clean. I would recommend and I would stay again.

Meet my expectation for a hostel stay

Location is ok. The bed is clean but not very comfortable. Can hear quite a bit of noise from the street.

Recomendo a todos

Ótima localização com relação à proximidade de pontos turísticos e mobilidade por ser de frente com a estação da luz. Contudo, é uma região muito perigosa com muitos moradores de ruas e violência, assim como toda a região do centro histórica de SP. Apesar disso, recomendo muito o hotel, o atendimento é excepcional, funcionários atenciosos cuidadosos e flexíveis. Eu e meu namorado tivemos uma experiência muito positiva, por isso recomendo. Em especial queremos deixar um agradecimento para um dos funcionários, acho que era Felipe, ele estava todos os dias pela manhã no hotel. Muito educado e atencioso, nos ajudou muito na nossa visita à cidade.

Bem próximo da Estação da Luz.

Minha estadia foi apenas um pernoite de pouco mais de sete horas. Tive uma recepção bem calorosa pela Mari. O hostel está localizado a menos de cinco minutos de caminhada da Estação da Luz usando a saída Av. Cásper Líbero/Rua Mauá. O local é simples e barato. Excelente custo benefício. Quarto com ventilador no teto e banheiro privativo são pequenos. Cama confortável. Recomenda-se não dar mole nessa região central de São Paulo, evite carregar celular na mão, usar correntes e relógio principalmente a noite. Há bares com mesas na calçada no caminho, evite parar.
