“Hidden Gem near the Falls -- Foz do Iguassu, Brazil”

While traveling in South America on a fairly tight budget, we took a risk and booked The Royal Iguassu Hotel very last-minute due to a change of plans. There was no review of the hotel on Expedia and we would not typically book a hotel in South America without some supporting information. So, we were a bit anxious prior to our arrival. From the curb the hotel is not too appealing and the inside could use some updates but we just needed a clean, safe place to sleep for one night so who cares if the decor is a bit tired as long as the place is clean? And it was very clean. They must mop the floors several times per day in the lobby and hallways. (see our description of our hotel room). Our package included a breakfast buffet. It was a typcial S.A. breakfast buffet- nice selection of regional fare. Not elaborate but arranged nicely and everything very clean. The staff was very attentive, bringing more food to the buffet several times during our meal. Help was available with transportation to the Falls. There were several options but since we are budget conscious we chose to utilize the local bus service. The man at the hotel gave specific directions about how to use the bus and it worked perfectly -- and saved us quite a bit on cab fare. At checkout we were again made to feel so welcome at the hotel. We want to particularly mention Kessley and Jacks -- two young people with very pleasant attitudes and willingness to help us work across language and culture.

“Good hotel for the price”

Not a fancy hotel, But clean and comfortable. Not enough electrical outlets for us, though. We would go back

“Nice hotel close to Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls”

Nice hotel close to Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls

“not so great”

I visited this hotel with my parents. When we arrived and opened the door, the room was not cleaned. It was 4pm. Room condition was not great, paint was coming off from the walls. There was no free electric outlet in the room. 1 was occupied by fridge and another one up high on the wall, was occupied by tv. So if you want to use laptop or charge your phone, then you need to turn off the fridge. Breakast was ok. Dinner buffet was actually very nice. few personnel spoke but english... so thats a plus. I would not recommend this hotel unless you dont have much choise

“Iguassu”

the hotel is tired and dated and is need of an upgrade. It was on a direct bus route to and from the airport and Iguassu Falls. It was also possible to visit the Argentinian side of the border very easily.The price was its saving grace.
