I enjoyed the 3 days in Catherine House. The employees are very polite and helpful. They offers tours for Argentine side of the waterfalls. The only negative is that the mattresses are very hard. But they have always an open ear if you have questions.

The hostel doesn't accept credit card but they accept euros,dollars, pesos and there're a lot of banks near there.Breakfast was great and there was plenty to eat: a lot of fruit, jams,cheese and ham,ecc. The owner was awesome for the infos and always there to help.the hostel is also a bar (great staff!) and u can eat there and it's relatively cheap (10€ dinner).I was in a 10bed dorms: it was ok but only one shower can be a problem if u're in 10 people.anyway, we had a great time!

Nice hostel with a great atmosphere! The staff was really helpfull and kind. Also the trips they are offering to the waterfalls are absolutely to recommend. The hostel is less than five min to walk to the main bus terminal, also you have everything you would need around it. I would definitly stay another time in this hostel.

This hostel has a bar & restaurant, so you have an option to eat or drink without going out. They accept only money, no credicards, then, be prepared for it. . .

The owner is full of very helpful infomation about the city and buses to take to the falls. Great location, very close to the local bus station, main street, churrasco restaurants, supermarket and bus stop to the brazillian side of the falls. But no kitchen use and limited communal area. Note, do not do laundry here as it is mega expensive.

The staff at Katharina House are awesome - very friendly and helpful! It was my birthday while I stayed here and they made me feel very special. The bar is great, the rooms are big and the breakfast has lots of variety. It's an easy walk to the local supermarket and the bus to the Brazilian side of the Falls is just across the road making this hostel in the perfect location.

Clean room, great location for buses and good breakfast. Staff were really helpful and assisted with getting to and from the Argentine side and border crossing. Not a lot happens in Foz but you can find a cheap meal in the "pay by weight" buffet in the supermarket around the corner!

A very welcoming and comfortable place. FYI you cannot use the kitchen and storage in the fridge is justly accepted, but you can get good food in the hostel bar.

The hostel was great! It's located directly across the street from the bus stop, catching the bus to the brazil side of the falls and to the airport was ridiculously simple. They organize transportation to the Argentina side, a must! Its connected to a bar/restaurant (really the only happening thing in iguazu), the caipirinhas are a must! Not to mention the great staff. Luis, the owner, accommodated us after an error with the booking. Clay, is asweetheart! They cleaned everyday. Breakfasfree
