The Experience

We bought an old hotel and are in the process of turning it into a hostel full of colors and life. We want the hostel to have a very artistic vibe, almost like Batman Alley with 40 rooms. Our idea is that each artist paints 1 or more rooms in their own style, with no restrictions, free to use their creativity. IMPORTANT: We are looking for someone to really create art on the wall. A drawing or something along those lines. It could be a painting.

The hostel is an excellent place with a privileged location in Sao Bento. Its dynamic with guests is more hotel-like than hostel-like, without this being something bad. Its team is highly helpful and attentive; they strive to have you enter as a client and return as a friend. The values they stand for are evident, and that is something that is missing. The interest in the human issue is strong. As for the tasks, the freedom was almost total to make a piece of art of your own; I managed my times and they gave me a lot of comfort to develop it freely.

The hostel is the most beautiful and organized hostel I have ever visited. It has small rooms, with on average only one bunk bed per room, which provides excellent tranquility when sleeping. The breakfast is sensational and I had total freedom to produce the drawing on the wall of the room in which I drew. The drawings in all the rooms are very well made, which imposes a certain standard on the quality of execution and a reflection before using experimental techniques, but I was able to produce my own pastel chalks with alkyd varnish and I thought the final result was very good.

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y realmente supero todas mis expectativas, Beneth es un excelente anfitrión, atento y relajado, és flexible con los horarios. En mi caso tenía que realizar un mural en la habitación y me dio la libertad para crear el mural a mi gusto. Nos llevo a pasear con otro voluntario. El equipo que trabaja en el Hostel es muy amable y atento a las necesidades de uno, además que el lugar brinda comodidades de excelencia: es muy ordenado y limpio. Me sentí muy cómoda en el espacio y con todas las personas que trabajan y son parte del Hostel ¡Altamente recomendable!

O hostel é um lugar diferenciado! Primeiro pela valorização da arte e dos artistas, ao lado de cada obra tem uma placa apresentando informações essenciais sobre quem a executou. É um espaço ativo, com muitos hospedes e toda uma equipe de camareiras, cozinheiras e recepcionistas trabalhando para a organização do espaço que se destaca pela limpeza, simpatia dos funcionários e também pela rica e generosa mesa de café da manhã. Localizado na charmosa São Bento do Sul, Beneth o anfitrião que já viajou dezenas de Países ao redor do mundo te faz sentir em casa. Recomendo!

Foi meu primeiro voluntariado e gostei bastante da experiência, o pessoal é bem receptivo e as instalações do hostel são boas. Logo de cara já tive a oportunidade de participar de uma trilha com rapel, que foi incrível! Meu trabalho foi auxiliar no café da manhã, sendo que na maior parte dos dias a atividade é tranquila e nos finais de semana pode ficar mais intenso. Tive bons momentos de confraternização com o pessoal, inclusive algumas jantas maravilhosas que fizemos juntos! Agradeço a todos pela experiência e em especial o Beneth, Nico, Gigi, Tamires, Diogo e Joel. Um grande abraço!
