Although Puerto Iguazu does not have great accommodation in general, El Guembe manages to disappoint. The rooms are dark and mouldy. There were dozens of mosquitoes there because they leave the doors open all day when not in use. The beds are thin foam mattresses, covered in thin/old cotton sheets that did not seem to have been washed. The pillows... More

Before coming, I had made a reservation by email but I had not written the adress of the hostel because I didn't though they were two hostel in Puerto Iguazu with the same name (they certainly didn't think that was relevant to indicate it to me!). Then I came to one (the wrong one!) and after understanding that they didn't... More

chose El Guembe cos my first 2 choices were fully booked so I was crossing my fingers when I alighted from the bus terminal. El Guembe is indeed a fair distance from the bus terminal, took me about 15mins to drag my bags through the pebblestones. Finally found the tucked away hostel. Daniel (guess he's the boss) greeted me immediately... More

The hostel is in a great location - close to the bus stop, and since most people here are going to the falls this is where you want to be. The hostel is nice enough - the pool is great because its very hot and humid. THe place isn't particularly clean - just on acceptable though. The pool doens't get... More

Having read all the other reviews about this place I am somewhat surprised. Staff were friendly enough. Room clean. Wifi was really quick and didn't drop out. I wouldn't call a five minute walk from the bus station way out of town. All the guys spoke some English and with the little Spanish I knew I had no problems. At... More

I was disappointed with El Guembe. There were a lot of mosquitoes in our room, very tiny shower space, and no hot water. It was also a bit far from the center of town. I did find the staff very friendly, but maybe a bit misinformed because they told us we would be able to see the Brazilian side of... More

It was a fairly bad hostel (shower was a dribble, toilet didn't flush a lot of the time) but that's what you expect from a cheap hostel. As two females travelling and looking for a few comforts, we decided that we wanted to stay somewhere nicer and asked for a refund. We were refused (again, not entirely unexpected). What worried...

We were greeted by a nice man who showed us around and gave us a map and travel advice. unfortunately, on BOTH nights we stayed there (we are two girls) we caught members of staff watching porn on the guest computers. We tried to book a flight on one of the computers and a friend of the night staff sat... More

We booked a dobble room at 12:00 on site. The staff sayed that the room will be ready at 18:30. So we vent to Iguazu Falls during the day. As we arrived in the night a staff sayed that there is a problem and that the room is not vacant. It was not funny to search a new hostel in... More
