Guest UserIf you are planning to stay at Mercure Iguazu Hotel Iru, do yourself a favor: read their pre-arrival emails for the entertainment value, but never actually book their ”exclusive” private car service. Unless, of course, you’ve had a few too many glasses of Malbec and feel like donating your money to a creative writing project.
Here’s why the hotel’s transport service is a ”must-avoid”:
The front desk will happily quote you a price that is roughly 130% of the market rate (think 60,000 Pesos when the standard round-trip to the National Park is 40,000). They’ll justify this with flowery language about it being a ”private service” and the costs of ”empty legs.”
That ”luxury” private car? It’s just a slightly cleaner-than-average van or a 7-seater SUV. If that’s worth a 50% markup to you, you’ll love it I arranged a pickup for 2:00 PM. I even messaged the driver at 1:50 PM to confirm I’d be ready by 2:10 PM. In a stunning display of ”Mercure time,” the driver finally graced me with his presence at 2:45 PM. I suppose I should thank God he wasn't over an hour late, but sitting at the park entrance for 35 minutes while paying ”premium” rates really added that extra sparkle to my trip.
The hotel is fine, but their transport service is a blatant scam wrapped in a ”private car” label. Save your money, call a local taxi or use a ride-hailing app, and spend that 20,000 Peso difference on literally anything else. You’ll get to the park faster and with much less resentment.

shawndaikiCame over after a terrible experience at Rainforest and it was like heaven on earth.
The hotel is conveniently located with a bus stop 5 min walk outside that takes you to the airport and the waterfalls at hourly frequency. There is also a taxi operator right across the hotel.
The hotel staff immediately walked out to assist with our luggage upon our arrival and was extremely hospitable. A complimentary 25 min visit to the sauna was included, gimmicky but it was a nice touch.
The room was large, spacious and clean. AC was reliable as was the hot water and water pressure. Breakfast was basic but there was a large spread.
We had an enjoyable experience.

In fact, for the price paid this is quite OK, if you want something luxurious this would not be a good option is better to pay a little more in another hotel, but if what you're looking for is contact with nature and economy, this cabin is recommendable, The room was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was worth going to see the Cataratas

麦We arrived at night according to the navigation guidelines. All the way to the black light, I thought I went to the wilderness. The hotel is very wonderful. The room can only accommodate 2 people. The children over 3 years old will have to pay 60 yuan for the room. The half-day price is almost noisy and the final price is 40 dollars. The room decoration design is very simple, almost no decoration. The toilet door is facing the bed, the room on the first floor is simpler, two small beds of one meter wide, no carpet. In China, it is completely incompatible with the five-star standard.

The room was spacious and clean, with hot and cold drinking water available all day. The location is super convenient, directly opposite the bus terminal, making travel easy. Breakfast was plentiful with a good variety of fruits, and the watermelon was incredibly sweet. It would have been perfect if eggs were also included. The service was warm and thoughtful; they were patient with all my questions and even helped me print my Brazilian visa. I felt confident leaving my luggage there. Absolutely fantastic!

The hotel is seriously run down in terms of maintenance. The spa is only open five hours a day, and it's difficult to get appointments for the number of hotel guests. If we book at 3:00 PM, we can't get in until 4:00 PM because it takes an hour to fill the whirlpool, and the staff doesn't arrive until 3:00 PM. The restaurant isn't open at night, so you have to go to the hotel next door for dinner, about 150 meters away at night and on the highway.
The best thing about the hotel is the restaurant service and the attentive service.

WLKohWe arrived before 9am and could check into our room straightaway. Very grateful to be able to do so and focus on getting to Iguazu Falls. We had no idea how to get there and the receptionist swiftly settled for us by helping us book return transport. The room was spacious and had good views. Nothing luxurious but serves it's purpose well. See pic. The breakfast was nothing fancy but decent. There are 2 swimming pools. One at ground level, one at 9th floor. You can fill up your bottles at the gym, basically all I needed.

Fantastic stay! The hotel was truly excellent in every aspect. Communication with the host was impeccable: they responded immediately to all messages and helped us in every possible way with any need, always with great availability and kindness. We felt supported and looked after from the beginning to the end of our stay. Highly recommended, I would definitely come back!
