LimeTime is all about making you love Sao Paulo. We are the biggest fans of this city and we want you to feel the same way. Let us help you change your perception and enjoy the best of it with great tips for sightseeing during the day and awesome party advice for experiencing Sampa's nightlife. Located in a central and safe location, we're right in the middle of the action, close to the main streets and Metro Stations making it easy to go everywhere. Another good reason to book? Stay with us and get a Free Caipirinha every night. Curious? Go ahead and see why you should (or, maybe, should not) stay with us!
This is what one of our recent former guests said about us and we think she captured the idea pretty well:
'This is a party hostel the way it should be. Do not expect any art deco decor other than green and previous hostel guests graffiti, but expect a bar with free drinks from 9pm-9.15pm every night, cheap drinks after, and staff that take you out almost every night of the week. It's easy to meet people, good well equipped kitchen and a stable WIFI. 24/7 reception, lockers in the dorms and good security of the building. Location is great for exploring this concrete jungle that is SP. Staff can give you lots of good insider tips to not be overwhelmed.' â€" Anika - Amsterdam, NL - August 2012

Should I book now?
Well, LimeTime is not for everyone. We are quite a party hostel, so if you need or prefer a quiet and chilled out environment we strongly suggest you book elsewhere. Kids, even accompanied by their relatives, won't be accepted as guests. We also have a dog, a little Westie called Gringo.

We are featured in several guidebooks and online travel web pages. Check out what they say about us:
'Another new, superbly located hostel, within walking distance of Av Paulista, Metrô Brigadeiro, the airport bus stop at Hotel Maksoud Plaza and, ambitiously, even Jardins. Apple TV, wi-fi and flat-screens give it a hi-tech edge, while dorms are less hip, more functional, in four- and eight-bed configurations.'
Lonely Planet - South America on a shoestring - April 2010
'Super-friendly place, that won't win awards for its dorms but more than makes up for it with its vibe: great caipirinhas, free use of Macs and wi-fi, kitchen, PlayStation, and guided nights out.'
Rough Guides South America - 2011
'If you're looking for a party, LimeTime Hostel could be the place for you. Along with having a bar on the premises and no curfew, the hostel staff goes the extra mile by taking their guests out clubbing and even providing discount admissions. The hostel provides private rooms and dorms, with one dorm designed for women only. Bed linens are included in the price. Other amenities include a guest kitchen, free Internet access and a TV with DVDs in the reception area. Bathroom facilities are shared with one designated for women only. LimeTime is located two blocks from Avenida Paulista. This hostel is lively and fun but if you're not into the party scene, it might not be the place for you.' â€" USA Today Online - Travel Tips
