Hotels Near Almacén Doña Carmen in Iguazu

Booked for a one night budget stay on the Argentina side of Iguazu falls. The hotel worked for what we needed. Some information which would have been helpful when we decided to book this hotel. It is not close to the center of Porto Iguazu. You can eat at the hotel restaurant, but if you want to eat at one of the many restaurants in the city center, you would need a taxi or walk about 3 km. Many of the guests seemed to be staying at the hotel for the pool – which was nice. Quite a few families. The employees at the reception were helpful and pleasant. The room was very old, run down and basic, but clean. There was no hot water, internet almost non-existent but the air conditioning worked great.

The Saint George Hotel Iguazu rates well below the ”dump” category, relative to its 4-star status. You should stay away from this place. Avoid it at all costs. Details below: 1) Infrastructure: their rooms are so old and outdated that most youth hostels would be nicer and more inviting than them. Their furniture is extremely old. AC is LOUD. The overall quality is disastrous. Everything is awfully patched. The acoustic insulation is nonexistent, and you will be fully immersed in your neighbors' vacation experience, even if all they do is watch TV at a very reasonable volume. Some spots even appear moldy. Last, but not least, the carpet in the common areas is old, ripped, and incredibly dirty. Photos of everything below. 2) Their incredibly absurd policies: the hotel's mentality seems to be ”how can we make our guests' experience a bad one, let's try harder”. Examples: they will not allow for early check-in even if they have capacity, only hold your luggage. ”Room access is not granted until 2 pm” is the standard response. Or at check in they write down your credit card information. They actually capture (type-down) all your card info ”as a warranty” and assure you that it is ”very safely stored” (right...), instead of just blocking a temporary deposit like most civilized places around the world do. We will actually be reporting this to Booking as it is inconceivable. 3) Breakfast: their brekky room is quite small relative to the hotel size. So while the service is available 7-10 or so, you need to pick one of four 40-min (or 50, I do not remember for sure) rotations. This means, instead of just chilling in the morning during your vacation and spontaneously go for brekky when you feel like it, you need to carefully plan when to wake up and shower, so you do not miss your window. All in all, a very very poor experience. A hotel that does not belong, by any stretch of the imagination, in a world-class tourist destination like Iguazu.

The only accessible room of the hotel had a broken ac, a broken tv, no frigobar (although they left a menu with prices for the food that wasn’t there). It was impossible to wash your hands or teeth without ending up soaking wet from head to toes… They seem to think disabled people doesn’t deserve to enjoy a good holiday. They always forgot to bring towels. At the restaurant I’ve seen far better breakfasts at every hostel I’ve been to than in this so-called 4 stars hotel, lack of options in the menu in general. Location is not good at all if you don’t have a car. Not bad for a hostel or 2 stars hotel but would not recommend it. At least its price seems according to its services.

Large hotel ideally located for visiting Iguazu Falls complete with spa and swimming pool in a wonderful garden setting. Our room was large and very well equipped with a balcony overlooking the garden with its tropical plants. There is a screen attached and you are advised to use the screen to stop any wildlife/creatures entering your room. Air conditioning was efficient and was well used when we visited as we found the heat outside very hard to deal with. The breakfasts were plentiful and would suit all tastes. Bar snacks and evening meals were well presented and tasty and along with drinks were reasonably priced. All staff were very pleasant and helpful and due to the remoteness of the hotel they will arrange taxis to take guests in to the town of Iguazu and further afield. We enjoyed our stay.

I read some of the other reviews and can see some of the points of the negative comments. However, looking at the pictures before we booked, we fully knew what we were getting into. It is basically a hostel and a lot of younger or single or couples traveling stay here. Food prices are a bit high but can't blame them based on the low rate they charge at the facility. It is tired and minimal comforts in the room, but it promotes common area relaxation and the pool is nice and the sounds of the rainforest is enough reason to sit outside and relax. Staff was very helpful and the beer....best beer I had the entire time in Argentina. Their brewer is awesome.

cheese, fruit at the limit of its useful life, terrible coffee, completely overcooked eggs, crescents—the worst I've ever tasted in my life. Everything is additional: an espresso, additional; an omelet, additional; a cappuccino, additional, etc. They put some tiny cones to mark that you cannot park; when leaving with the SUV, I lightly hit one, and the security personnel, as if you had run over someone, stopped you, and they went to see the cone. Here are two pieces of advice: Foz has many more possibilities; if you go to this hotel, make sure to provide yourself with water; they do not give you a complimentary bottle or a refill point; and fill up with gasoline. As was our case, going to Asunción was a shame, and It's already a shame that the YPFs don't supply foreigners, and we only found one Shell service station. Check-out is at 10 a.m., just as information so that you can anticipate your plans, and ask for rooms finished in more than 10, the others will not have a panoramic view. We paid US$255 per night, so on an objective basis, it is a practical option, but it was not spectacular.

Large, modern, comfortable room with everything needed for the stay. Good breakfast, although on the first day overcrowded thanks to a large tour group preparing for getaway. Food and service in both the ground floor restaurant and the roof terrace were of good quality. Attentive and friendly front desk staff. Spectacular view from roof terrace (rooftop pool closed, but not a problem for us). Recommended.

It looked great from outside , but has a great potential to be a 5 stars, but not even close. It’s out dated and needs a thorough remodeling. Our room was river view and seems its bathroom has been remodeled. The carpet by the bed is filthy and aged. The sink faucet only has HOT water and after two visits by the handyman it was NOT fixed. Internet is very weak. We had power outage a few times. The view was awesome. You can see the Ferris wheel and the bridge which are in the Brazil side. The Buffett breakfast is a joke. Really. All carbs, fruits and family size cream cheese and jams. After Covid era, single size is more appreciated. No cream for coffee is available only hot milk. If lactose allergy, avoid coffee. The sweets are stale as I think they serve the same day after day. No egg station and only scrambled eggs with some oily side veggies. There’s a center fruit bowl on the fruit table that has an old eggplant on it and a melon and it has gathered lots of Gnats. I told the waiter and he smiled and just shook his hand so the Gnats fly away. No one speaks English except the front desk) they are great in recycling and even have plantable pencils. Seems like they are working to its upbringing. The hallway and entrance needs ventilation as it’s extremely hot and stuffy. Two of the elevators didnot work properly while we were here. It’s just 100 meters to the bus station for Iguazu or airport.
