IguassuEcoHostel - Eco Suítes - Hostel mais próximo das Cataratas

It was fantastic and easy to get to sites

Not much . Pool great . Meet fabulous people

Loved the location being in the jungle and by the entrance to the falls. Cabin felt brand new and very clean. Handy having the food truck onsite for dinner.

Being in the jungle, it was far to go into town for supplies. So stock up before going to the location, including getting cash.

The location is key here. It is walking distance to the Parque de Aves and Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, which is really worth it. The room was comfortable enough despite some issues. I especially appreciated that they booked our transportation from Foz airport to the hostel and also our transport to our hotel on the Argentine side. This worked very well. For our airport transportation, the driver was waiting for us with the hostel's name on a sign (I wish they'd told us this was how it worked). The breakfast in the morning was very good and right on time at 7:30. Also, the staff securely stored our luggage when we checked out, which was nice. If you want to use the lockers for valuables, you need your own lock (which we had). I appreciated that they have an onsite burger food truck most nights because otherwise the location is very isolated, but even that was confusing (see below).

The hostel could do a better job of sharing information. The room was very cold overnight in September but it was unclear if the air con had a heater function (it didn't seem to). The toilet flush didn't line up right on the toilet so we had to remove the lid every time to flush. The door to the breakfast room slides rather than opens outward. I and everyone else I saw enter struggled to figure it out. Why not put an arrow on the door? This hostel was just full of needless mystery. Providing more information would help a lot. When asked about the food truck, they could only say the hours are from 6-9. There was no menu available until it opened. I asked about paying by credit card and they said yes, but didn't also explain that you actually pay when you check out in the morning, like for room service. Also, go early if you're hungry. We placed our order at 6:30 and it took an hour (which we were told when we ordered) due to other guests ordering first. The food was good and there was a veggie burger option when I asked but not on the main menu. Overall, the food truck is a nice addition, just more needless confusion. The worst part of our stay was other guests were very loud (likely drunk) at 4 in the morning. There are small signs that say quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., but no one pointed them out to us when we checked in and clearly not to these other guests. Another guest tried to yell at them to be quiet a little before 6 which turned into a shouting match, and then the drunk men fell asleep and were snoring. The walls are very thin and the sound carries. They should emphasize the quiet hours to all guests at check in to prevent these problems.

La posizione era impeccabile, vicinissimo al parco!

La colazione era obbligatoriamente a partire dalle 07:30. È stato cortesemente chiesto se non fosse possibile farla alle 07:00 a causa di un’escursione, anche solo con un qualsiasi alimento sigillato/confezionato. La risposta è stata negativa ma l’aspetto che ha lasciato più a desiderare è stata la totale indifferenza dello staff. Non è stato nemmeno finta disponibilità/dispiacere per il disguido… È mancato completamente proprio il senso dell’ospitalità. In un posto che nasce soprattutto per la sua posizione strategica, troverei più sensato e congeniale avere la colazione disponibile più presto, date le innumerevoli escursioni sul mercato.
