Casa Mango Mango isn't all things to all people. But, for me, I spent a few weeks there - my first in Rio - and they treated me like family. Everyone that worked there was quite generous in their time and help -- getting me oriented, recommending places to see, giving me background in finding work, how to stay safe... more

It´s in arty Santa Teresa - this alone gives it almost a refugee status from the backpackers´ bedlam of Copacobana and Ipanema. The area feels safer, and is walking distance to many good restaurants and partyland Lapa, should you wish. Great, personalised recommendations are given to you on the back of a local map on arrival, re. food, dance and... more

We always use tripadvisor before any of our travels but we have never been inspired to review anywhere we have stayed until now !!!!

I have been coming to Rio for the last couple of years and have stayed in quite a few hostels when over here. Casa Mango Mango is a hidden gem in the hills of Santa Teresa with friendly staff, great rooms and excellent food.

A lovely, friendly hotel in a great district. The hotel seemed to attract really interesting clientel that had a genuine interest in Brazilian culture. The hotel itself organised some cultural evenings (like live music) and the staff took us to really interesting places that we would never have found on our own. Also a good place just to relax; by... more

I stayed here twice. the room was great and the place has real character. All the staff were so helpful and friendly. You are bang in the heart of Lapa which in my view is the best place for going out. The breakfast was really good too. Thanks for everything!!! Richard & Jamie more
