Is Hobi a Business Travel Accommodation (or Not)? The Honest Answer
This section is our dedicated space to speak transparently with prospective guests. We review, read, and reflect on every single guest review we receive. They constantly give us the chance to evaluate and improve our hospitality experience. Our goal is to provide complete clarity so you can book your stay with total confidence.
Private Room with Dedicated Workspace: Is Hobi a Business Travel Accommodation?
We are a streamlined, far more personal and human alternative to standard corporate hotels. Here, you not only enjoy comfortable living spaces with high-speed Wi-Fi and an ergonomic workstation in every private room, but you also have access to a dedicated coworking room and an atelier space — where breakfast is served — that can be used for working throughout the day.
Furthermore, we are located just minutes from Avenida Paulista, a quick bus ride from Itaim Bibi and Faria Lima, and less than a 10-minute walk from two subway stations. In short: effortless access across the city. Which means yes, we can definitely serve as your go-to business travel accommodation.
Facilities in Our Business Travel Accommodation: Desks, Wi-Fi, and Work Areas
Yes! Every single private room includes its own dedicated workstation. We also offer a shared coworking room, alongside the flexibility of using the breakfast atelier tables during off-peak hours.
Backpacker Hostel or Boutique Hotel — Which One Are We Really?
Let's just say we chose the sweet spot right in the middle. We offer 3 shared dorms — undoubtedly our most budget-friendly option (one of which also features a work desk) — and 5 private rooms, which embody the boutique side of our house. In fact, our entire property carries a boutique ethos: unpretentious, but centered around genuine care, personalized hospitality, and run by people born and raised right here in São Paulo's historic Bixiga neighborhood.
Specific Questions About Our Business Travel Accommodation
Can you issue official corporate tax invoices (Nota Fiscal) for this business travel accommodation?
Yes! We are a fully registered, licensed Brazilian company with an active corporate registry (CNPJ). An official tax invoice is generated for every stay and transaction.
Does the coworking room offer enough privacy for video conference calls?
In a room with 5 workstations, if 5 people are working at once, the realistic answer is no. If you require absolute privacy for sensitive client calls, we strongly recommend booking a private room, which comes equipped with its own private desk setup.
Is laundry service available for short corporate stays?
We do not operate an in-house laundry service, but there are multiple drop-off and self-service laundromats just a few steps away in our immediate neighborhood.
Are extended-stay corporate rates available for weekly or monthly bookings?
Generally, reservations over 7 nights qualify for progressive discounts (the same policy applies to corporate group blocks). We evaluate requests individually, so please reach out directly so we can tailor a quote to your schedule.
Can guests print or scan documents on-site?
We do not have a guest printer on site. However, several copy centers, stationery shops, and newsstands within short walking distance provide quick on-demand printing.
What is the difference between a dorm with a desk and a private room for working?
The key differentiator is the acoustic environment and privacy level. In a shared dorm, other guests might be packing, chatting, or on a phone call. For laptop work, we suggest utilizing our common areas — during business hours, most leisure travelers are out exploring the city, leaving common spaces quiet.
Is proximity to Congonhas Airport (CGH) a major advantage for professionals?
The greatest geographical asset is being located in the Paulista area. São Paulo's real corporate epicenters are the Historic Downtown, Paulista Avenue, Itaim Bibi, and Faria Lima — and Hobi sits strategically right at the junction between them.
Can I check in late at night if my flight is delayed?
Yes. Our front desk operates 24/7. We simply ask travelers to notify us of their estimated arrival time so our team can ensure seamless late-night check-in.
Is breakfast served early enough for guests with morning meetings?
Yes. We serve an authentic Brazilian breakfast complete with fresh cake, warm cheese bread (pão de queijo), grilled toast, seasonal fruit, and coffee with milk (plant-based and vegan alternatives available upon prior request).
