About
Selina Madalena Sao Paulo
Selina Madalena Sao Paulo brings a creative, hostel-meets-hotel energy to the Alto Pinheiros district. The building is covered with art, and the on-site bar is a natural meeting point for travellers. Room choices range from shared dorms to private doubles and a Unique Room with a balcony.
The property runs a full-service restaurant and lounge, plus a spa and wellness centre, meeting facilities, and 24-hour reception. Valet parking and laundry cover the practical side, and the location puts you minutes from Vila Madalena's bars and the Instituto Tomie Ohtake.
Guests consistently praise the staff for being efficient, friendly, and full of local recommendations. Rooms are described as brand-new, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated, with comfortable beds and cushions. The shared bathrooms in some room types draw mixed feedback, but the overall vibe is social and welcoming.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types (including some private doubles) come with shared bathrooms – check before booking if you prefer ensuite.
- Check-in window is 15:00-22:00 — If you arrive late, you'll need to plan around the 22:00 cutoff – no 24-hour check-in for arrivals after that.
- Air conditioning and movies can be unreliable — One guest reported the AC and movies didn't work in their double room, though the location and staff made up for it.
- Limited private ensuite options — Besides the Unique Room with a balcony, private rooms don't clearly list private bathrooms as an amenity – most reviews mention shared facilities.
