The kitchen needs some more cooking utensils added but apart from that fantastic hostel. The staff were amazing, breakfast is great and close to everything you need.

Great location but fairly soulless. I arrived at 1am so had purposely booked a private room to get some sleep and not disturb others but the room they put me in had just been bug sprayed and I couldn't sleep for the fumes. Fair play to them though as they at least found me another room at 3am...just wish they didn't put me in there in the first place? Staff were super helpful which made up for the room fiasco and pretty average breaky. Don't believe the other review hype about the food!

Ok place, big hostel with lots of rooms but our double room out the back was pretty terrible. Did have its own wi-fi though. Decent breakfast and pool though for relaxing. Short walk downhill from bus terminal.

Staff was awesome! However, the kitchen was a bit small. Not enough pots, pans, and utensils for such a big hostel. Did not like how they charge extra for computer use.

Good location, Wi Fi excellent in room, staff very helpful and friendly (English speaking). The downside was the kitchen, hardly any utensils to use and a small fridge for the amount of guests that try and use it (broke whilst we were there and a lot of guests lost their food). If you like eating out then there is no downside to the hostel, but is more of a motel than hostel as people have previously commented - there is no real communal area.

The staff was very helpful, the air conditioning was good, breakfest was very good. The shared rooms were at a different building from the hostel and they seemed to be distant from the common areas which made the atmosphere not so nice. The bathrooms were realy small.

Staff was verrrrry helpful and friendly, breakfast was amazing they actually had scrambled eggs and sausage. Great location. The beds were proper "non bunk" beds and they were comfortable. Rooms had lockers in them for each guest. Didn't cram too many people into one room. Not much of a common room so not that great for meeting people although I managed ok. It was kind of a mix between a hostel and a hotel.

The front desk staff was awesome, - they really went out of their way to help out! Rooms were very clean and it was a quiet relaxed atmosphere. Was really nice to have a pool and AC in the private room.

We paid 30 R$ for a four-bed dorm, really good breakfast, a swimming pool and very helpful staff. They offer tours there and it is even possible to order and pay bus tickets directly there. So there is no need to go all the way up to the bus station just to buy a ticket! Recommended!

This hostel / guest house had a really good value for the money I paid. Facilities were clean and the staff was extremely kind and friendly. It's a place to stay and rest rather than to network with people and party, it has a neutral atmosphere. It has a good location close to strategic bus stops.

Stayed one night while visting Foz de Iguacu. Had booked a room through hostel world. The room assigned was disaster to say the least - it was in a remote building in the back of the hostel, the floor was moist, insects flying all over the place, room looked more like a dungeon. We had to upgrade and pay more to get a livable room. Staff was nice and breakfast was good. Location of the hostel is very far (30 mins) from the falls. Suggest to pay little more and stay close to falls.

The kitchen facilities, especially the crookery and cultery were lacking or of a poor standard.

Breakfast was good, it had a lot of options - not just toast! Pool was great too!
