Hotels Near Salto del Medio 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.

This hotel is good, there is a bus stop nearby, it is very convenient to go to the Great Falls, you can go to Iguazu Port. The environment is good, not far from the town, ten minutes, there are many restaurants nearby, there is a China-Pakistan from the airport to this hotel, the fare is 900 pesos, quite convenient.

We arrived at night according to the navigation guidelines. All the way to the black light, I thought I went to the wilderness. The hotel is very wonderful. The room can only accommodate 2 people. The children over 3 years old will have to pay 60 yuan for the room. The half-day price is almost noisy and the final price is 40 dollars. The room decoration design is very simple, almost no decoration. The toilet door is facing the bed, the room on the first floor is simpler, two small beds of one meter wide, no carpet. In China, it is completely incompatible with the five-star standard.

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 Details below: 1) Infrastructure: their rooms are so old and outdated that most youth hostels would be nicer and more inviting than them.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.

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.

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.

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.

When I review a place it generally means that I had an issue. This hotel is fine for the price but there were several things that wrecked the experience for us. 1-the pool water was green so we couldn’t use it. Lack of chemical maintenance would be my guess. 2-air conditioner had no controls. It was either on or off. We inquired and they said it was the way it is. 3-room 307 has no wifi. Again we inquired and the answer was that’s the way it is in Iguazú. Finally we spoke with a different front desk person who said the WIFI is better on floor 1 so we moved and guess what, the wifi is fine on floor one. Our new room also has batteries in the air conditioning unit so we can control the temperature. Aside from a small amount of black mold growing on the shower caulk, the room is fine. The showers both have a shiny tile floor. Very slippery but they do have a hand hold in the shower. Well, I guess we are in the jungle after all. We were happy to be on the first floor so we wouldn’t have to ride the elevator anymore. The elevator stopped either right on the floor or several inches above or below so rider beware and watch your step! 4-our biggest frustration was with transportation. There are a couple of guys that sit in the lobby and represent a tourist firm of some sorts. They speak or understand no English. If you a Spanish speaker, you may have no problems but we sure did. We were abandoned in Brazil at the water falls there by our driver. We had to be very resourceful to even get back to our hotel. We had no cell service there and although there was wifi at the Falls, it was in operable due to the high traffic. Remember we are in the jungle. We had 2 other issues with transportation solely due to the “tourist company” not really being a company at all. I still don’t know their connection to the hotel but I highly recommend not using these people if you want reliable transportation. 5-the last issue occurred a few minutes ago . We asked for a late check out a couple of days ago and were granted one till 2:00 PM as we were then leaving for the airport. At 11:00 they showed up at our door telling us we had to leave or pay 23.00 late check out. My heart started pumping which can be bad for an old timer and I went directly to the manager. Told him we were granted a late check out by the front desk guy who spoke English. He insisted that we needed to pay the 23.00. I refused to do so and we “discussed “ all of the problems we have had. He was un phased until I said I was going to write a bad review on Trip advisor. Suddenly he said we could stay at no charge till 2. There is also some good to this review.. with the exception of the black mold, the rooms were quite clean. The breakfast was very good and as advertised. The hotel is in a good location. Forgot to say the tv stations are only in Spanish which is what we expect here in Argentina. My advise…if you don’t speak Spanish enough to get by, perhaps try another hotel.
