Brilliant hostel, staff are incredibly nice and helpful. Really cheap twin rooms, clean bathrooms, really nice jazzy bar with the best caipirinhas in Brazil. Would highly recommend this hostel. Very safe, fastest WiFi we have had so far as well. Brilliantly located with a bus stop outside that goes directly to the iguassu falls. Just off the main road so... More

We were sent down the street to an "overflow" room which was truly awful - metal bars on windows, exposed wires. On a number of occasions we got back to find someone had switched off electricity for our room. Owner of the hostel is aggressive and tries to rip off guests - we took the his organised trip to Argentinian... More

My experience of this hostel has made me add this comment. The hostel was very hostile. All the staff were experienced in giving disrespect. There is no kitchen for a cuppa. No place to relax. I spent one night and there was no ventilation and it was very hot. When it is bad you notice many small things that are... More

Firstly there is no kitchen whatsoever! Secondly there is no table of breakfast in the mornings, you have to ask whoever is at the reception for the breakfast so they can improvise something. Thirdly they charge any extra shower and during the summer the temperature reaches 42ºC which makes impossible to have just one shower a day, especially after a... More

The hostel staff is very friendly. Especially the owner Luis is interested in excellent service and that you have a great time. He helps you organising trips and makes you feel extremely welcome. Our room was big and absolutely clean. The breakfast is good (fruits, cake, ham, cheese, toasts, coffee and tea). Also the dinner, which Luis gets from a... More

Delicious food at a great price Luis (the owner) give you all the information and help you need to make the most of your visit. He runs excursions not only those tourist ones, but also alternative. The Hostal has a really cool bar at night with only frindly people!

This place had a good atmosphere. The bar opens out onto the street so there were locals and travellers. The bathrooms could have been cleaned a little bit more. The breakfast was really great. The staff are really helpful and friendly and do the most to organise your trip to the falls!
