Mango Tree Ipanema

Great hostel with an extremely nice and helpful personnel. We received a warm welcome by the receptionist Stephanie when we arrived, which made the overall experience even better. I recommend for anyone who’s going backpacking in Brazil:)

Upon check in I was greeted by the most helpful and friendly reception staff I have ever encountered! That made me very happy. I only had to stay here for 1 night to catch my bus the next day, though upon meeting the people and the hostel I wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

The staff were very friendly and made the place easy to enjoy. The wifi was very good for working, and the location is right next to the beach and lots of good food

Fine place, quite clean, very very friendly staff, always smiling and helpful... but: room too small, no place to put clothes or other stuff, humidity in the room was not pleasant.

Mango Tree is a very pleasant hostel tucked away on a street right in the middle of Ipanema, just a block from the beach and also very close to lots of shops and restaurants. The space is airy and comfortable with lots of plants. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Convenient kitchen, bar and lounge area with hammocks, luggage store lockers, and book exchange. Our room was quite quiet despite being in the middle of everything.

The hostel is in a great location, we stayed in a different area of Rio before staying here and we felt much safer in this area. The hostel has bikes that you can hire which we used to cycle around the lake and along the beach - definitely recommend doing this. The hostel is really social, there is a large bar area with lots going on. The two bar staff (the couple) were really friendly and good fun. The reception staff were also lovely and helpful and you can book an airport transfer with them which I think is a lot cheaper than a taxi or other transfer. I think they were doing some refurbishment at the time we were staying, but there was no noise that we heard from that.
