"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
Top Choice
"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."

"The most self-consciously designer hotel in Brazil, the Unique is a giant half-orange on stilts, with 7-ft (2-m) wide porthole windows and a splendid cavernous lobby."

"Within walking distance of Parque Ibirapuera and the Modern Art Museum, and bordering the jungle environment of the Pan American building, this property is fresh and dramatic."

"Architect Oscar Niemeyer's apprentice Ruy Ohtake took a step away from his boss' penchant for concrete and headed natural, with weathered copper siding and wood to visually stabilize."
