I stayed at this hotel and was quite pleased with the location, as it was close to the Bird Park and just a short walk to buy tickets for the Iguassu Falls. The rooms were comfortable, but they seemed a bit dated and could have been cleaner.

This hotel is perfectly located just a short walk from the stunning Iguazu Falls and several attractions like the Bird Park. The rooms are quite simple but clean and comfortable. The service is quick and friendly, though it could be a bit more polished. Dining options are decent but could benefit from a buffet-style setup to reduce food waste. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to explore the falls with good value for money, but it has room for improvement in dining variety.
