The hostel Mango Tree Ipanema has a great location for public transportation (bus and subway), is near the beach. The HOSTEL is very clean, a great breakfast, well organized and with a great atmosphere. THE ONLY THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE WERE 1- I BOOKED WITH MY 3 FRIENDS AT THE HOST, AT RESERVATION I MADE EMAIL REQUEST TO STAY IN THE SAME ROOM BUT when my friends arrived we were not in the same room and my friends questioned and asked to move our friends to that we were together. My friends found the receptionist uneducated and rude and with harsh words to handle the case that was quite simple! 2- Another situation that I did not like, I went to ask the employee (woman who is on the night shift) a towel. She informed me that the HOSTEL charged R$ 5 (reais) for the towel plus $ 20 (reais) (which would be refundable). What I DIDN'T LIKE was that I asked my friends and friends from the same room I was in about this charge, and they all told me that the Receptionists (the two men in the morning) DIDN'T COVER THEM. I found the rules unfair, it seems that they choose guests to charge the fee. I THINK THE HOSTEL MAY HAVE A FRAMEWORK IN RECEPTION WITH ALL THE FEES BEING COLLECTED BY GUESTS FOR BETTER TRANSPARENCY! Apart from the two episodes, SUPER INDICATES HOSTING TO MY FRIENDS!

Friendly staff, great location in Ipanema.Lots of hangout spots around the property and 2 desktop computers for guest use. Large lockers. Only negative- credit card required for incidentals. They type the number into their system, which I was uncomfortable with but the staff showed me the number became masked after manual entry

Good location right next to the beach. However very little bathrooms, extremely loud aircon so had to use earplugs and very bad wifi

Muito bonito! I spent great time there, the cozy house have different spaces and if you want share or talk with other one, you'd find that. the front desk are very useful and the kitchen have all you need. it's close to beach, safe area and nearby public station and subway. you must book there!

Rooms dont have keys to be locked. Very uncomfortable. Too noisy at night. 3 level dorms were a little shocking. location is good and staff were nice but I would not recommend and go back.

Everyone at reception was super helpful and the room was great and RIo is amazing. Spend as much time here as you can!

I stayed in a little private room in this friendly hostel just off posto 9. The location is fantastic; service team excellent, breakfast is ample & better than in any other hostel during my stay. Only downside to me: you cannot bring visitors after 22:00. I really recommend this place!

I think this hostel's location is the best if you want to hang out at the beach. I liked the atmosphere, but it was a bit noisy at night & morning especially when you use single room. Only one thing I found it uncomfortable was that they don't have a hair dryer.
