Safe central hostel with friendly staff. Regular organised day + night events and bar on sight with excellent caipirinhas 😊 Pretty quiet at night so possible to get some sleep. Only bad thing is dorm rooms are really small considering everyone has large backpacks/suitcases.

Lack of activies when I was there organised by the hostel.

Superb location just a block down from the beach, a relaxed vibe hostel were you can party and rest.

Lockers in the rooms are small and do not fully close even with locks on them. Could use a few more bathrooms and showers.

Outstanding location, one block from Ipanema Beach and three blocks from the metro. Locked and controlled entry, and visible to desk attendants. Friendly staff go out of their way to help, answer questions, make tourism suggestions, and they're just nice people (and speak English too). Room's good air conditioning a big plus in humid Rio. Common sitting areas with hammocks, tables with umbrellas, and cushioned chairs. Ipanema is an intact community filled with restaurants, cafes, little shops, and nicer for a stay then frenetic Copacabana.

The staff were ok, not mega enthusiastic about anything. Not super helpful in giving recommendations. The room was basic and a bit dark. The communal area is a bit noisy which is fine for us but if you want to sleep there can be people talking all hours - sometimes 4am, so bring earplugs. The bathrooms are fine, not great but not bad. The hostel as a whole is OK if you want somewhere to lay your head after a busy day sightseeing but it isn’t anything special. Also not mega social if you’re looking to make friends.

The hostel was in a great location, easy to find and communicate with. It was clean and had everything you need for a basic stay. The cat was cute.

The room was very humid and had some mold stains on the walls. We had to use both an available dehumidifier and the air conditioner to achieve a satisfactory level. Since Ipanema is an expensive neighbourhood, the value for money appears to be good.

Very friendly and attentive staff, always willing to help, Organizing events and giving informations Great location!

It's a basic hostel, which is fine for the price. Rooms are a basic too. Not much on terms for facilities but it's fine

Excellent location and nice spaces!

- The sheets didn’t have elasticated corners, which resulted in waking up directly on the mattress—a hygiene concern. - Lockers were placed under the beds, making them somewhat difficult to access. - The cleanliness of the showers could have been better. - As a hostel, it can be noisy, which might be a drawback for some.

I recently stayed at The Mango Tree Ipanema Hostel and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is unbeatable, with Ipanema beach, bars, and restaurants just a stone's throw away. It was also very easy to get Ubers to the main sites in Rio from here. The hostel bar serves cold beers and delicious caipirinhas at reasonable prices, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The beds were comfortable, though I did have an issue with the sheets not having elasticated corners, which resulted in waking up directly on the mattress—a hygiene concern that the hostel could improve upon. Lockers were included in the price and were a good size, though their placement under the beds made them somewhat difficult to access. I stayed in a 6-person dorm that shared a terrace with another 6-person dorm. The shared terrace was a nice feature, providing a communal space to relax. Each bed had its own lamp and power socket, and the wall-mounted lamps were perfect for resting a smartphone on top of. The showers were warm and powerful, but cleanliness could have been better. The staff were generally nice and helpful, with a special mention to Julio, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It's important to remember that this is a hostel, not a hotel, so it comes with the benefits of meeting new friends and the drawbacks of potential noise. Overall, The Mango Tree Ipanema Hostel is a good choice for budget-conscious travelers looking for a convenient and sociable place to stay in Rio. With a few improvements, it could be even better.

Noise - bring ear plugs.

Great location.

Cleanliness, I had to ask to have our floor swept and mopped - it didn't happen every day. General cleanliness could be improved on - no soap for handwashing in bathrooms, staff don't start till 8am therefore bathroom rubbish bins not emptied till after then, sink for washing dishes continually dirty.

Fairly social

There was some places at the hostel that felt quite wet so it had a weird smell and some mosquitoes.

I liked the place, it was clean and well distributed. It has many facilities to enjoy, many bathrooms, places to rest, etc. The staff is amazing, always willing to help and even to have a random conversation with you. I loved the fact that even that i left the hostel 2 days ago, they allowed me to store my bags at the lockers before my travel so i didn't have to look for a luggage storage or even walk through the city csrrying my bags.

We liked everything but if I was lucky I would say it would have been great to have a coffee machine 😘

The property is situated in the perfect location in Ipanema,1 min from the beach and with lots of cafes restaurants and shops nearby. Our private room was spacious well furnished with a big bathroom and the best shower!

Besides the hostels said that was a Breakfast included, that was not. And the lockers was too small and they change extra for a bigger locker

Location

Stayed in March 2024

The kitchen is very small and the common fridge is absolutely packed with food which makes it hard to find a place to store your own. The dorm beds could have a privacy curtain, since some other guests (like the women in my dorm) would come back from partying and have their bed lights on until 6 am. There were only 3 full bathrooms for the entire hostel, and they were all very old and need maintenance. The bar guy could be a bit more enthusiastic. I never felt like having a drink at the hostel because he was always on his phone and would never smile or say hi back to me. So, not very inviting. It was no surprise that the bar was always empty.

Top location, walking distance to Ipanema beach and close to the metro, restaurants and supermarkets. The rooms were safe and comfortable. You are handed a card key which keeps the dorms safely locked. The hostel in general has a cool chill vibe. The front desk staff are very professional and helpful.
