Espia Mata - Pousada Hostel
A garden pousada doubling as the city's hostel option
Ponta Grossa, Ponta Grossa
About this stay
Espia Mata - Pousada Hostel occupies a genuinely useful niche in Ponta Grossa: it's the closest thing the city has to a hostel, but delivers it through private family rooms with parquet floors and wardrobes rather than shared dorms. A garden and shared kitchen give guests communal space to use, and a daily buffet breakfast starts the morning without extra cost. Multilingual staff, speaking English, Spanish and Portuguese, make it an easy pick for international travelers passing through, and free on-site private parking and luggage storage cover the practical basics. Ponta Grossa Airport sits about 12 kilometres away, Vila Velha State Park around 25, both easy to reach without needing a car for the whole trip.

Our take
Espia Mata sits between a hostel and a guesthouse: private family rooms with parquet floors, a garden, a shared kitchen and a daily buffet breakfast, run by multilingual staff. With a 9.2 score from 119 reviews, I would pick it as the best budget stay in Ponta Grossa for travelers who want calm and privacy. Backpackers looking for a lively common room should look elsewhere.
- ✓Use the shared kitchen to cut costs on longer stays
- ✓Ask staff for local tips in English, Spanish or Portuguese, whichever suits you best
- ✓Book ahead if travelling on a budget; this is one of Ponta Grossa's few affordable private-room options

Why guests love itEspia Mata is a garden pousada rather than a party hostel, which suits families on a budget. The private family rooms keep everyone together without a shared dorm, and the shared kitchen lets you prepare simple meals for children. A buffet breakfast is served daily, the garden gives kids some outdoor space, and free parking helps for day trips around Ponta Grossa. Multilingual staff make check-in easier for foreign visitors, and 119 reviews average 9.2.
