Altough it's an Ibis budget hotel, so with a declared low cost structure, we found the hotel unsatisfactory. The structure is quite old, some towels were not clan, the shower were broken and we had to prepare the third bed by ourselves. Not at the level of the Ibis brand. No restaurants near the hotel, in the dark you must... More

I use to go practically every week from aprox 2-3 days per week since January 2012, to your F1 hotels in São Paulo: mainly São João, Jardins 9 de Julho, ou Consolação, I understand its smart hotel concept but I think it should be nice if you reward somehow my royalty. And the worst thing I had is once I... More

I just went to this hostel type hotel because I had to escape from a terrible and (tobacco) stinking Roja's All suit Hotel, 100 meters away. So Formule 1 was the option. It was much better, cleaner and cheap too. Formule 1 is known for the simplest facilities, like you have no fridge, no telephone or even no soap in... More

Good location walking distance to 2 metro stations, bus stop to airport. Hotel room is very clean and daily change of towels and linens if needed. However a few inconveniences: There is no telephone in the room, no safe deposit box, no refrigerator, pay extra 10 reales for breakfast, pay for internet and telephone in the hallways, pay 5 reales...

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.

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
