The hostel itself is not very special, the rooms are simple but clean and there is no kitchen. But the staff was so kind and helpful, which happened to be a very important thing for us. A plus is that they are english-speaking. They gave us all their time and advices. The breakfast was very nice for a low price.... More

Even though we went off season, I visited katharina with a group of three friends. The tours to see the iguazu falls from the Brazilian side and Argentinian sides were breath taking. The staff were so friendly, the bar man made the best caprihnas I've tasted, the owner Luis was so welcoming and chatted with us and we had such... More

Brilliant hostel, staff are incredibly nice and helpful. Really cheap twin rooms, clean bathrooms, really nice jazzy bar with the best caipirinhas in Brazil. Would highly recommend this hostel. Very safe, fastest WiFi we have had so far as well. Brilliantly located with a bus stop outside that goes directly to the iguassu falls. Just off the main road so... More

We were sent down the street to an "overflow" room which was truly awful - metal bars on windows, exposed wires. On a number of occasions we got back to find someone had switched off electricity for our room. Owner of the hostel is aggressive and tries to rip off guests - we took the his organised trip to Argentinian... More

My experience of this hostel has made me add this comment. The hostel was very hostile. All the staff were experienced in giving disrespect. There is no kitchen for a cuppa. No place to relax. I spent one night and there was no ventilation and it was very hot. When it is bad you notice many small things that are... More

The owner was great fun and helpful with bus times and locations. Breakfast was good. The rooms could have done with a bit of a revamp( flat pillows) but our stay was nice enough. Was maybe a little to hot at night but would reccomend .

Firstly there is no kitchen whatsoever! Secondly there is no table of breakfast in the mornings, you have to ask whoever is at the reception for the breakfast so they can improvise something. Thirdly they charge any extra shower and during the summer the temperature reaches 42ºC which makes impossible to have just one shower a day, especially after a... More

The hostel staff is very friendly. Especially the owner Luis is interested in excellent service and that you have a great time. He helps you organising trips and makes you feel extremely welcome. Our room was big and absolutely clean. The breakfast is good (fruits, cake, ham, cheese, toasts, coffee and tea). Also the dinner, which Luis gets from a... More
