The Property — All In
The hotel 'All In' is a no-fuss 3-star in Sorocaba's commercial centre, offering clean, compact rooms and a basic buffet breakfast. It suits budget-minded business travellers or short-stay tourists who want a reliable bed and quick access to the city's main avenues. Standing in the lobby, you get a functional, slightly dated feel—beige tiles, a small reception desk, and noticeboards advertising local services. The USP is practicality: it's near the bus terminal and shopping areas, with free parking and wifi.
Chronicles of Sorocaba
Sorocaba was founded in 1654 by Bandeirantes, becoming a crucial stop on the route to the goldfields of Minas Gerais. Its 19th-century textile mills earned it the nickname 'Manchester Paulista', and the city's architecture still shows industrial-era warehouses alongside colonial churches. Today it's a mid-sized manufacturing and logistics hub, with a lively street market and a growing university population. Culturally, it balances a working-class identity with pockets of art deco and modernism, best seen in the Zona Norte's old factory conversions.
Best Time to Visit
Full Sorocaba guide →Best months
April to June: mild autumn weather (18-25°C), low humidity, and fewer tourists. September to October: spring brings clear skies and blooming ipê trees, with comfortable temperatures.
Peak / festival surge
July is peak due to school holidays and the Sorocaba Winter Festival (classical music and theatre events). Hotel prices can jump 20-30% from the low season; book well in advance.
Budget shoulder season
March and November offer mild weather, lower demand, and discounts of 15-20% off peak rates. Rain is possible but not persistent.
Weather & packing
Sorocaba sits at 600m altitude, so July mornings can be crisp (12°C) despite warm afternoons (26°C). Pack layers: a light jacket for mornings and evenings, plus t-shirts for the middle of the day.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to All In, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 5–7 at the rear of the building. These are high enough to avoid street-level noise from Avenida Professor Joaquim Silva, and the back side faces away from the avenue, reducing traffic hum. Lower rear rooms also work but may catch some service area noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–2 at the front, especially those directly facing the avenue. Street noise from Sorocaba's traffic will be loud, and you'll also hear the lobby and lift doors. Rooms near the lift core on any floor risk ding-and-chatter disturbance.
Best views
Rooms at the rear offer a quiet view of the neighbouring residential blocks and some greenery. Corner rooms on floors 6–7 might catch a partial city skyline, but nothing dramatic. Front rooms see a busy avenue and some commercial buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 5–7. The property likely has 7 floors (typical for a mid-range hotel with a lift), and middle-to-upper levels are further from street and ground-floor public areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Professor Joaquim Silva is a main thoroughfare in Sorocaba, so daytime traffic is constant. Occasional trucks or buses at night can happen. The hotel's entrance and any adjacent bar or restaurant (if present) add chatter until late evening. Lift and housekeeping carts are typical noise sources mid-morning.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a rear-facing room at check-in, even if you booked a standard type; this costs nothing and you're more likely to get it if you arrive after 3pm. 2. If you drive, ask the reception for street parking tips—there's likely free on-street parking on side streets, but confirm with staff to avoid meters or restrictions.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Sorocaba
💡 Climb the bell tower for 10 reais (cash only) for a good view of the main square. The stairs are steep and narrow – not for claustrophobic visitors. Mass times are 7am and 6pm daily if you want quiet.
💡 Buy a bag of fresh-roasted coffee beans from the stall near the south entrance (R$8). Go before 10am when the meat section gets busy and queues form at the caldo-de-cana stand.
💡 Check their Instagram for free guided tours (Portuguese only, but the guide can point out highlights in English if you ask nicely). Limit your visit to 45 minutes.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid crowds (free entry applies only on Tuesdays; other days cost R$10). Bring your ID for free entry.
💡 Rent a bike from the kiosk at the main entrance (R$15/hour) to cover the 3km loop. The best wildlife spotting is near the lake in late afternoon. Avoid Sundays if you dislike crowds.
