Mangue Oranje Hostel, hotel in Recife

Mangue Oranje Hostel is situated in Recife, 15 km from Guararapes Shopping and 1.1 km from Sport Club Recife.

The location could not be better, whether it's carnaval or 'normal' times it's right in the heart of everything. The hostel.is clean, I stayed in a private room but saw the dorm, which is bright and spacious. Ricardo, the owner, is always around to make things go smooth inside and keep the wrong people outside.

    My husband and I stayed in the private room in the hostel for 2 days. The hostel is located in a safe area. There are many nice restaurants in the area. The air-conditioning in the private room works well.

    It was a pretty clean and organized place, with good communal space, but no atmosphere whatsoever. For me it made sense because I had an appointment around the corner, but as a backpacker, I was much happier when I moved downtown, where hostels had no pool but a lot of charm (and also were cheaper)

    Very small hostel with a family-like feel! I really liked the location at the daytime - close to a lovely beach, however, once it got dark, I haven't felt safe around as a woman.
