Mango Tree Ipanema

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.

excellent location and sensational staff. Good accommodation and great to meet people from all over the world

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.

I loved my stay in the mango hostel. Bathroom are spacious and the hostel is cleaned everyday. The staff is really nice and there is always someone at the reception.

Best hostel in Rio! After a warm welcome it was very easy to connect with other solo travellers. There's a get together every night but still the staff made sure it's quiet after 10. The location is amazing, safe and one block from the beach. Room very nice with daily cleaning. The staff is the very best! Jorge, Joao, Gabriel or Nico took are the friendliest!! They took us to local places fir Samba or Lapa that I would never have found myself. Obrigado chicos!! You're amazing! Will come back!

No soap in bathrooms for hand washing, toilets/waste bins not cleaned until after 8am at the earliest, room floors not swept and moped often enough, kitchen sink needed attention.
