El Pueblito Iguazu

The Hotel itself was nice, especially for kids as they have a small „zoo“ with butterflies, snakes, crocodiles etc. The main problem however was the accommodation. Yes we are in a jugle and yes it is humid, but please make sure the air conditioning is working, which was not the case in our room, the smell was strong when entering the room, the clothes adapted the smell soon and bed pillows did smell too. I reported the problem and the staff tried to fix it I was told - however it was not fixed. We could probably change the room, but as we had only one more night we decided to stay, luckily we got brand new pillows. My recommendation to management is: please check if the aircon is working in all the rooms and only assign these rooms to guest as this will decrease the good reputation.

I booked this hotel because it looked so unique and cute, tucked away in a mini forest. I really wanted to like it, however it just didn’t hit the mark. First, it’s off the main road so there is incredibly loud road noise all night, there was no hot water in my room and the sink would randomly turn itself on, the internet also did not work in my room (essential for international travelers) and I also didn’t have any cell service or 3/4G in the room. Therefore, I had to take private family calls in the main hotel lobby as this was the only place I could access service. I also chose to eat dinner at the hotel restaurant… don’t. It was the worst burger I’ve ever eaten, figured Argentina was known for beef so should have been edible at least. I ate the bread from the bun and went to bed without having eaten lunch or dinner that day because the burger was like rubber. The positives were that the staff was very nice and helpful, the bed was very comfortable and appreciated that they had a duvet instead of light blanket for covers, and breakfast was included and had a decent spread. It’s also close to the falls, so convenient for a cab to Brazilian side or to Argentinian.

Stayed one night at El Pueblito with a picky teenager and a child. All three of us were very happy. I could spend a full day writing a lengthy review but it won’t benefit anybody. The hotel is very good, clean and perfect for what we needed. Everybody was very helpful and attentive. The breakfast is good and varied. FYI, don’t expect massive amounts of eggs and meats, Argentinians don’t eat heavy breakfast, but they do provide some scrambled eggs and tiny (very tasty) sausages... most of the menu are pastries... we loved it and would totally come back! I travel extensively for business and Lea sure and rarely write reviews. This one deserved it!
