Hosteria Los Helechos

This place needs a serious remodeling. It’s VERY old. Clean and nice staff but extremely old and in bad shape

I stayed at the Hosteria Los Helechos for 3 nights as part of a land package arranged by a local travel agency.  The accommodation is basic, rundown and near downtown Iguazú.  A short walk away from this hostel are restaurants, souvenir shops and a bus terminal.  Currency Exchange is quite far but some souvenir shops will change your money if you ask. The hotel seems famous to families.  It was full when I stayed in March and many tour buses picked up guests in the morning.   I checked in night time and was given a room facing a garden, which I liked.  However, when I reached the room, the door was left open and when I entered, found mosquitoes inside.  The bathroom door knob was broken but when I reported, it was immediately replaced.  The room is simple, dark and you can tell everything inside it needs some serious upgrading.  The bed and pillows are uncomfortable. The linens look damp.  The shower water pressure, however, is very good.   A simple breakfast is included and is served at your table. For the drinks, you have to help yourself at the counter.  It is good and convenient that this hostel has a restaurant which is open until late night. What is impressive about this hostel is their helpful staff.  Even if some of them do not speak English, they did exert effort in answering my queries about directions, tours, food and places to see.  They even arranged a taxi pick up and when I reported about the broken door handle, a maintenance staff came in less than 10 minutes to fix it.  Overall, it was still an OK experience staying at the Hosteria Los Helechos.  I just hope they will renovate the rooms soon and put new beds for the comfort of their guests.
