My husband and I stayed at The Mango Tree in a 'large double ensuite room' during October 2008. Our main reason for choosing this place was the excellent location for the price and on this count we weren't disappointed. The Mango Tree is one block from Ipanema beach and within easy walking distance of bars and restaurants in Ipanema. The... more

We arrived at the hostel before check in so they let us dump our bags, have breakfast and shower which was great! The cake at breakfast was probably my favourite thing about the whole hostel!! In the courtyard there was places to sit and have drinks which was really sociable, staff kept the noise down for neighbours and other guests.... more

This is the best hostel we have ever stayed in. The location is fantastic, just a block away from Ipanema beach. We used the hostel as a base as we travelled around Brazil and were able to leave our bags there for a couple of weeks at a time. The staff, particularly the super friendly and very helpful Australian Manager... more

This place is excellent! Blocks from Ipanema Beach, transportation, restaurants, and nightlife. The owner and staff are wonderful and knowledgeable, the place is inexpensive, clean, secure(gated), quiet, free breakfast and the same price as nearby filty hostels like the ones on Rua Barrao de Torre. I highly recommend the Mango Tree. more

Great location. This is a hostel with customers aged between 20 and 35. We stayed in a double room and paid 140 BRL per night (double room WITHOUT a bathroom). The bathrooms are shared.

The hostel was lovely and the staff who worked their super friendly and helpful. I travelled by myself and really felt like I had a home in Rio. There were plenty of interesting tours that they helped set up for me, and they gave my plenty of advice on how to get places, how to use the bank machines, etc.... more

I stayed for 2 nights at the Mango Tree in June 2008. First great impression was the staff friendliness... Well above average for a hostel, they show you around and tell you all the guidelines. The breakfast is superb and the showers quite awesome too. Plus free internet on site. They also have a bar area open til 10:30 except... more

One of the best places we stayed in South America. Location is great as its just one street from Copacabana. It's small but its perfectly formed! Has double rooms en-suite, twin rooms and dorms. Free internet and a great breakfast. Very clean and the staff are very friendly. You can book loads of activities in the Hostel and not have... more

Great little place with very helpful staff, rooms can be noisy as most are around the breakfast/bar which starts at 8.30! Room 2 was fab, great value as Rio isn't cheap! more
