My expectations were managed having read some of the less positive reviews from others about this hotel. For me however, I was perfectly happy with my two nights here. All the staff I interacted with were patient with my poor Spanish skills and always helpful. I would certainly suggest this hotel to friends as a place from which to explore Iguazu Park and the Falls.

The hotel is old, same thing with bed sheets.. Very noisy, you can hear everything that was happening in other rooms. Breakfast simple but acceptable! Pool dirty! Overall expensive for a very basic "hotel".....not recomended..

I chose this hotel because it supposedly had a spa and airport shuttle. It has neither. It is very far from town and they attempted to charge me for my stay until I insisted that the booking website has charged me and I'm not paying twice. The front desk staff told me upon checkin that there is a shuttle that would come at 12. They watched me sit in the lobby from 10 AM (checkout time), the shuttle came after 2PM for a 3:30 PM flight. In Argentina you are supposed to be at the airport 2 hours before your flight. I must have asked 10 times from10 to 2 if the shuttle was coming. Towards the end I was convinced I was on a special bus that gives me some sort of individualized treatment because of the wait but instead it was the same shuttle that hits all hotels on the way to the airport for 90 pesos. I was shocked when I was asked for money since I thought shuttle service was included before booking. Furthermore at dinner I asked for a glass of wine, I am one person sitting alone at one small table eating by myself. The server uncorked a new bottle of wine and placed it on the table, I inquired about the whole bottle as I only requested a glass and he acted confused. I love wine but a whole bottle for one person late at night was a bit much to assume. I again had to have an entire dialogue about how I wasn't paying for an entire bottle of wine when I ordered one glass. I'd avoid this money trap at all cost.

This hotel is dated but frankly, relative to other hotels in the area, it was a bargain. The hotel is located off the main highway and is conveniently located. the hotel room was clean and safe. Staff was friendly and they washed our clothing without additional charge. Breakfast was a buffet and the food was mediocre but certainly plentiful. Lounge and bar area was comfortable but WIFI worked only in lobby. A good value for those who don't want to lounge around in a luxury hotel.

Carmen was a great find for our brief stay near Iguazu Falls. Carmen is an older, rustic hotel with an inviting entrance and spacious interior & dining room. It is located on a main road where buses regularly stop to pick up tourists for the short drive to Iguazu Falls. My family (including an infant) found the beds to be comfortable and the front desk staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The only negative is that the shower had some mold growing, could have used a new curtain and a little more cleaning. Breakfast was included with the price of the room (a bargain), and the dinner buffet was large and tasty with decent service from the waitstaff. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel for bargain hunters & families.
