Cheap Hotels Sao Paulo is a page that is dedicated to finding you the best deals on cheap hotels in Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and because of this there are many affordable lodging choices for visitors and residents. Most "budget" accommodations are hostels but the lower-priced hotels and motels still offer very reasonable rates compared to U.S. standards. One great example is the Hotel Itamarati, located in downtown Sao Paulo. The cheapest rooms come equipped with a safe for your belongings and a separate, private bath outside of the room. For just a few reals more there is a "standard" room option with a bath inside of the room. All rates include a free buffet-style breakfast in the morning, free internet and access to laundry and tour services.

Backpacker hostels are easy to come by in Sao Paulo and they are the cheapest accommodations in the city. The Praça da Árvore Hostel, a Hostelling International hostel, is located a short, 20 minutes from the city center, but right next to a metro station for easy access. The hostel has the basic dorm rooms plus private double and single rooms for added privacy. The amenities are basically the same as in any other hotel in the area, 24-hour reception, wireless internet access, a free breakfast and laundry services. Hostelling International members receive a discount for their stay when providing a membership card.
