Uncomfortable pillows and smelly sheets. Stayed for three days. No one even offered to give me a fresh towel. I gotta ask each day for one.

Nice hotel
Let us check in early which really helped after a 20 hour bus ride. Room was really nice and reception were helpful. Gave us advice on the falls but we decided to do them ourselves as it was cheaper and were on a budget. They allowed us to store luggage too. Overall nice stay and breakfast set us up for the day

The stay was amazing . From the friendly staff to the condition of the room and shower room . Breakfast was good except they kept on bringing scrambled eggs very late . Many guests missed the opportunity to eat them . The room is like 3 stars room . I greatly recommended this place to other travelers .

Comfortable, casual and convenient.
Great place to stay if you're out most of the time and just need a place to sleep. It is very comfortable and provides a reasonable breakfast. The staff are all very helpful and are always available. The location is convenient and within walking distance to the town and all buses. You can get a straight bus to the airport and all the water falls too.

Really appreciated the helpful and friendly staff. Very close to main bus terminal which makes it easy to get to several of the attractions by bus. The area is also good for restaurants and night life. Quick and easy check-in. Breakfast was also pretty good!

Hotels.com mix up - check where you are staying!
We booked Pousada El Shaddai, however, on arriving there, we were told that the hotels.com system had actually booked us into a sister guesthouse, Pousada Natureza Foz. This was an inconvenience, but the staff at El Shaddai was helpful, and booked us a taxi to Natureza Foz, and explained the tourist spots in the area well to us. Natureza Foz was clean and comfortable, however, we were mugged near the guesthouse that night (though were told that this is rare) and would advise people to take taxis back at night. That said, the staff, again, was very helpful in taking us to the police and allowing us to make all the necessary phonecalls.

Great hostel located close to the bus terminal where you can catch the bus to the airport, Brazilian falls and Argentinean falls easily. The hostel has a decent breakfast and clean rooms. Keep in mind when using the showers that there is hot water, just turn the tap slightly and you'll have a hot shower.

Great stay
The girls up front were very nice. Their English wasn't great, but they were very helpful in getting us orientated to the neighborhood (restaurant recommendations) and access to the falls. They arrange airport transfers- but I would highly recommend you don't use this. It is simply a taxi, but the bus system in Foz do Iguaçu is SUPER nice (and WAY cheaper than a taxi). Just take the bus from the airport (line 120). We used the bus system for going to the Falls, bird park, as well as returning to the airport. The room was very acceptable, nothing spectacular, but nothing to complain about. The free breakfast was quite good and wifi was reliable.

Clean tidy hostel conveniently located near the bus station which is perfectly for those who are travelling in and out of the town for the purpose of visiting Iguazu Falls. Staff were superbly friendly and helpful, there were discounted tickets to local attractions. We were very happy there!

Good basic hotel in central location
Easy walking distance from local bus terminal (frequent buses to the falls, bird park and dam), restaurants and shopping area. Rooms are small, simple but comfortable. There is a small swimming pool. Good buffet style continental breakfast with plenty of fresh fruit. Shared cooking facilities are available. Staff friendly and give useful information on visiting the sights and where to eat. At the time of writing the hotel must be paid in full in cash. Expedia say half is paid by card at time of booking, but hotel say this is incorrect and insist on full payment in cash.

Two nights in July
I had a single room (ensuite with two beds) which I used basically for sleeping and taking showers. The hostel is a good choise for staying a night or two. The staff can speak good English and give detailed information of different attractions though some information was incorrect or I asked wrong questions (of Argentinian side of the falls)... Breakfast was OK, but in the first morning juice ran out and they didn´t refill the container. I found the swimming pool dirty so I didn´t use it. Location is close enough to everything and in a quiet neighbourhood. A good thing was that I could leave my baggage in a locker room even after checking-out, because I had an evening bus. If I went to Foz do Iguacu again I might stay in this hostel once more...

Hotel staff were really helpful. Spoke english ok. Air con didnt work in 1 room so we got moved to another.

Comfortable and great value for money!
Rooms were very comfortable and clean with everything you need - big comfy beds, TV, air-con, and a big shower. Some of the staff spoke English and were very helpful in organising tours to the falls and helping us to find our way around, with suggestions for dinner (cheap and yummy por kilo restaurant located in the nearby shopping centre, for example) and other activities. Breakfast was included (the usual fare of bread, cheese, meat, fruit, and eggs, plus tea, coffee, and juice). Internet was not free, but cheap enough, and there was a small lounge near the reception and secure luggage storage. There was also a swimming pool and guest kitchen. Great value for money - recommended!

Pousada 2 estrelas
Deixou a desejar e não cumpriu o combinado de pagamento conforme reserva. -Pagamento: A reserva foi feita pelo site onde uma parte seria paga pelo site e a diferença em 4x, e no momento da chegada, foi cobrado o valor integral à vista; - Atendimento: Na chegada não fomos tão bem atendidos pelo recepcionista atuante, parecia apenas interessado no nosso dinheiro e que fossemos para o quarto logo; - Café da manhã: Fraco se comparado com a maioria das pousadas, não tem pão de queijo, a margarina tem qualidade questionável, colocaram um achocolatado qualquer dentro da lata de Toddy, o que me faz questionar a idoneidade da gerência e também não cumprem o combinado do horário, onde faltando 1h ainda para o fim do café, diversos itens já estão em falta. - Limpeza dos quartos: Mais um ponto onde me faz questionar a idoneidade da gerência, pois foi solicitado a limpeza dos quartos e troca de roupas de cama e banho e ao chegar no quarto as camas foram apenas arrumadas, com os mesmos lençóis e as toalhas estavam onde deixamos quando saímos.

Valeu a Pena!
As condições da pousada me surpreenderam. Local simples porém muito limpo e arejado. Instalações atualizadas, não são aquelas que ficam paradas no tempo com azulejos antigos e encardidos no banheiro. Nos fundos tem uma cozinha comunitária onde é possível utilizar a churrasqueira, pia, mesa e utensílios de cozinha. Local tranquilo, rua calma apesar de muito próxima ao terminal de ônibus e comércio local. Com certeza voltaria a me hospedar lá. Custo benefício vale a pena!

Hôtel bien situé et agréable
Très bon hôtel : bien situé (tout près d'un arrêt de bus pour les chutes d'Iguacu et à 5-6 minutes à pied des restaurants), dans une rue calme. Personnel accueillant, bon petit déjeuner et hôtel propre et assez confortable. Ils proposent aussi des transports pour aller voir les chutes côté argentin.
