Good hostel, nice and helpful staff (some don't speak any english). Good location within a short walking distance to town and bus terminal. The breakfast could be a bit richer (there's only dulce de leche to put on your bred).

I really enjoyed the stay in Garden Stone, a beautiful little hostel with a peaceful garden and pool. The staff was very friendly and there was a good breakfast. I would definitely recommend staying here or in a hostel near by. The argentinian side of the falls is so much nicer, not just the falls but also the town. The hostel is close to the border (and still in walking in walking distance to the center) of the town wich was excellent for me to do a run!

The hostel was neat and clean, and I liked that people were supposed to be quiet after 12 or 1am. The yard was absolutely beautiful and the breakfast was great. Only negative - We felt that the woman running the place was always kind of angry. I was always afraid that she was going to just yell at me (probably flashbacks to my childhood). That being said, we would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay and can recommend this hostel. The satff is super friendly and gave us a lot of good information about the Iguazu area. I love the decoration of the hostel. The room and the bathrooms are clean. The breakfast was really good. We satyed 2 nights on the brasilien side and 2 nights on the argentinien side. We really liked the argentinien side more. The city of Puerto Iguazu is nicer and supermarkets, restaurants and souvenirs are cheaper.

Hotel staff were very friendly and atmosphere was no doubt relaxing. Price was comparable reasonable in iguazu, where it is much more expensive than rest of Argentina. We stayed in room with shared bathroom, which the cleanliness definitely need to be improved. The water pressure was weak and sink was dirty. Breakfast choice was ok with cereal, bread, fried egg and fruit. It ll be even better to improve on the frequency of refill!

We only stayed one night here but thought it was lovely. We had a nice double room with air con, a lovely lady tell us all about getting to/from the park, and we cooked our dinner in an outside kitchen. The breakfast was also good. They stored our bags for us for the day. It felt quite secure too. Just mind the mosquitoes (3 bites whilst checking in!) and the showers a bit drizzly, but the place all in all was pretty perfect would reccomend. Ooooh and a lovely pool to chill out by too.

Pool area was great and it is a nice clean hostel. There are two bathrooms inside and one them barely has running water so really only one shower to share which made mornings hard to get away (and it was cold). Kitchen is nice being out the back just bring mosquito repellent

A nice place to chill out - and close enough to the bus station (lets face it, we are all here as a jump off point for the falls!) Lovely to sit by the pool, and love that we have a kitchen! The garden is beautiful and the staff helped me to book tours and gave me information. All in all, a pleasant stay, and provided me with what I needed.

Stayed here for one night after seeing the falls. Nice roomy dorm, helpful staff and it did the trick. Didn't get a sense of a great atmosphere to meet people but then again I was only there a night and I guess it depends on what the other guests are like. Would stay here again.

Amazing place to stay! Very very clean. Locations is right in the center (2 blocks away from the all bars, restaurants and shops). Staff is very nice and helpful. Breakfast are super good and huge variety! Big nice kitchen, yard with hammocks surrounded by beautiful flora, and nice clean pool. I LOVED IT!

The hostel is ok. But the kitchen and the floor are very dirty. Ther were bedbugs in the rooms. So we would not choose the hostel once again.

The hostel is excellent! The staff is very helpfully and friendly... The atmosphere is amazing... there is a big green place to relax and is very clean. My only complaint is the noise on saturday (there is a nightclub or something like that where the sound is so loud and disturbs a lot)... I asked the staff about it and they told me that is unusual and it happen sometimes... but I would recomend the Garden Stone and I wish come back there soon :)

Laid back hostel, good facilities, clean and convenient location. The staff are helpful and friendly. Good to place to relax after a day at Iguazu falls or after a week in BA.

Really nice hostel with a big garden. Nice kitchen, room and baths were clean. We wish they had more rooms available so we could have stayed longer but we had to move to another hostel which was not as good as this one and cost us even more.

Nice place, good breakfast. Staff weren't over friendly but were pleasant enough. Our room was really nice. Charges for using air con at certain times. WiFi was terrible.
