Aki Hostel

The location of this hostel is great, walking distance to the metro and to Paulista street (although all up hill ha!) and the staff were helpful and friendly.

I found this hostel to be too cold for me, this made it uncomfortable. We asked for a second blanket on the 3rd night as we couldn’t bare the chill for any longer, sadly they charged us for it, I have found in other hostels in Brazil in winter they leave at least 3 thick blankets in the room for you! It was so cold I actually avoided showering because I couldn’t face coming from a hot shower into the coldness. The kitchen was very messy the first day we used it with no washing liquid for dishes but was much cleaner the second. They lacked in basic cutlery like having no bowls. Maybe this is a hostel for summer in Brazil but I wouldn’t recommend it if you like the basic luxury of heat.

The bed was very uncomfortable , old mattress, no space, couldn't sit. Air condition was broken and didn't work. toilet was really smelly and the whole room was smelling too. Staffs were respectful but seemed lost, and lazy, didn't make any effort to help with anything, one guy was hitting on me . breakfast was very poor n not worth the 15 reais. value of money for the place is also not worthy . hostel has no vibe and bad atmosphere.
