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 Details below: 1) Infrastructure: their rooms are so old and outdated that most youth hostels would be nicer and more inviting than them.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