Enjoyed my quick stay here in Puerto Iguazu. The staff provides information on tours and things to do in town. It was very neat. Thank you all.

This place's ideal, it's just 3 blocks away from the bus station on Brasil av. Attention looked neat and the price was totally within the budget. Great hostel to make friends.

Willing and friendly staff, they treated me like a friend and I really liked that. Location is pretty good too, the only down side is that some of the rooms lacked maintenance.

Location is excellent. Looked like they were remodeling when I was there. The staff is very nice and gentle, we were very close to the restaurants and shops in the area.

Music in the bar was so loud I couldnt hear in the other room, this was at 6pm. The 4 bed dorm was tiny and the bunks old. The building looked like it was about to cave in, really old and poor condition. Leaking roof in the baggage room. Afternoon reception guy was grumpy and not helpful. Normally Che Lagarto hostels are great, this one definitely wasn't. Not worth the money at all.

It was excellent. I stayed in a mixed bedroom with people from everywhere. They have a playroom with TV and pool table, there's also like a backyard with grill and swimming pool. Excellent price for backpackers, very close to the best places in Iguazu.

Location is perfect, very close to the bus station. Restrooms and showers all functional, bit messy in some areas. I enjoyed my stay.

I had a lot of fun, the ambient is great, of course there was loud people too, but didn't bother me at all. The staff is great and the morning breakfast was good as well.

The Kitchen was locked and there was no place to cook food. The showers were all cold, beds rickety, and the whole place dirty. I demanded my money back for the false advertisement of a kitchen, and after some haggling I was able to get it back. I left to Bambu mini hostel and it was like paradise compared to Che. Don't go there!

They need to change the key system. And I don't know why the staff can't make a reservation of taxies to the airport. Also the orange juice at the breakfast was not orange juice.

I think they are lacking staff members here, yet they make some big effort to put up with everybody. The key system is not that good, they should change it. However, they've got pool, air conditioning, and good breakfast. It's a pretty fair option in Puerto Iguazu.

The staff gave me false information about the possibilities how to get to the brasilian airport, charge me the whole price per night (although i booked here on hostelworld) and the rooms are horrible. The bathrooms were dirty and the atmosphere in the hostel wasn't good at all. The kitchen has no utilities and no stove so it's not possible to cook. For that you have to go to another hostel around the corner. The location right in the center, the small swimmingpool and the breakfast were good.

Dirty. Uninviting. I would not stay there again and I wouldn't recommend to friends.

We did not enjoy our stay here! There are signs up everywhere about all the facilities they offer but in reality they are non existant. One big sign advertised organising bus tickets but when we asked we were told they didn't. There are no lockers or keys for individual dorm rooms. And to top it all off we got bed bugs and when we told the staff, they laughed in our faces and did nothing about it. Swimming pool was also filthy.
