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.

En realidad para el precio que se pagó esta bastante ok, si quieres algo lujoso este No sería buena opción es preferible que pagues un poco más en otro hotel, pero si lo que buscas es contacto con la naturaleza y economía, esta cabaña esta recomendable, un poco descuidada la cabaña pero te hace sentir en una casa de campo real con sus pequeñas fallas e imperfecciones. El aire acondicionado muy ruidoso, las manillas del baño rotas. Las piletas 5/10. El personal muy amable, te hacen sentir Muy bien. Por ir a ver las Cataratas valió la pena

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.

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.

HosanClean and comfortable stay. Even though the hotel is not in the centre of the town, it's a small town. Everything that you need is within a short walking distance. In 10 minutes you will reach many restaurants and the bus terminal to Iguazu Falls. Not being in the centre of the town has its benefits - you will have a quiet stay.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is decent, mostly pastries, cold cuts, desserts, cereal and fruit. Scrambled eggs or eggs in other forms would be great.

Некрасивое место, удобная комната, есть все необходимое, приятный бонус в виде бассейна на территории, гамаки и зоны для пикника. Вкусные завтраки , приятный персонал. К сожалению, мало кто из них говорит по-английски, но это не было проблемой, общались через приложения. Расположение off the beaten track, так что передвигаться возможно в основном только на машине-такси: до водопадов и до аэропорта цена 30000 песо. До ближайшего ресторана идти 20 минут пешком вдоль дороги, супермаркетов в шаговой доступности нет.
