Mango Tree Ipanema - Hostel

Comfy bed and pillow, nice outdoor areas

Staff were rude, took no interest and were not helpful

Very sociable hostel 2 minutes from the beach and close to a lot of shops and restaurants. You will make friends here and they always have events on - like a pub crawl that starts from the hostel. 6 bed female dorm had a private bathroom which was very handy.

My dorm (6 bed female dorm) was right next to the common area with bar which meant constant noise, bar music from 5-10pm (and later) and in the morning noisy staff eating breakfast. I had a very old, smelly mattress which was replaced the last night of my stay. The internet kept cutting out in the evenings. The dorm was very small for 6 people.
