Jean, London

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Check in was a little tricky since the receptionist only spoke Portuguese. However, there were no issues and we were given the key to our room. The room was clean but a little worn out. The breakfast was a buffet with great options including sausage, ham, cheese, cereal, juices, and fruit. Location is in the town center which is great during the day, however, at night all the shops are closed and it seemed quite scary so we took an Uber to the mall for dinner. Overall, it was a comfortable hotel for one night's stay, I'd come back again.

Low quality, but very cheap.
Nothing fancy at all. Old and low quality, but the price is so low that you can’t really complain! obly major frustration is that we left our bags in the reception for the day after checkout. When we picked them back up, that had rearranged the bags and crushed a painting we had purchased. Really disappointing.

Nice hotel in Foz do Iguacu for a reasonable price
We had a very good time in the hotel. For the price, the room was ok (basic), very spacious with en-suite bathroom, towels and TV. Hotel staff speaks only little English which was no problem for us. For a 2 star hotel the breakfast buffet was excellent. There was juice, coffee, tea, bread, eggs, jam, bacon, cheese. The hotel is close to the buses which bring you to Argentina, Paraguay and also the Brasilian waterfalls (bus 101). There are also some restaurants nearby. The area feels safe.

Great Location for Iguaza Falls Visit
We stayed at Hostel Normandie for 2 nights during our visit to Iguazu Falls. IT was a great location right near the bus stops for both the Brazil and Argentina sides of the falls. The hostel itself was a little dead, but all the accommodations were good. Hot shower, free breakfast, and wifi.. That was all we needed!

Normandy, Foz do Iguacu
Very run down. Very hot--air conditioner could not keep the room cool. Very noisy. Could not keep the room dark at night. Extremely uncomfortable bed. It was the worst bed we have had in two months of travel. Compares very unfavourably to other hotels we have stayed at in Brazil and Argentina that are similarly priced.

Ao chegar no estabelecimento as 18hs não havia ninguém pra nos receber. Não tinha café da manhã pois havia uma informação de que estava interditada a cozinha, outro ponto que o chuveiro não tinha água quente e não tinha cobertores no quarto. Porém no outro dia pela tarde nos trocaram de quarto e nos forneceram banho quente e cobertores. O lugar é super simples a dona é muito gentil porém precisa melhorar o atendimento em alguns pontos.

Cuando llegue no había nadie esperando, llame antes para avisar que llegaba tarde y no me esperaron, me dejaron afuera, en la calle. De casualidad un pasajero del hotel en un gesto de amabilidad me abrió la puerta ya que el taxista que me llevó dijo que era una zona complicada para estar esperando. No nos esperaban, no había reserva, no había habitación preparada. La habitación estaba sucia, las camas no tenían sábanas, no funcionaba el aire, los baños estaban sucios, inundados y con pelos, encima me cobraron de más con la excusa que no había cambiado, y por adelantado

NO LO RECOMIENDO
Una verguenza llegue a las 9 de la noche con una criatura y me habian vendido la habitacion que tenia ya pagada al 100% a traves de hoteles.com.... me quisieron dar una en un zotano espantosa con el piso roto y llena de humedades... el hotel es feo viejo nos agarramos pulgas (no me cambiaron las sabanas en 4 noches) la verdad deja mucho que desear.. el desayuno no es como lo muestran en las fotos las habitaciones viejas el baño con mal olor... no lo recomiendo... Nos atendieron mal cuando llegamos no habia nadie responsable que nos duera una solucion... Arruino nuestras vacaciones este problema... No recomiendo el hotel.... Recomendaria a Hoteles.com que NO TRABAJEN MAS CON ESTE HOTEL porque es de medio pelo para abajo! Romina FRANCISCA
