Mérit Iguazú Hotel

Very calm, not far from the bus station (3 blocks). Very relaxing place after a hot day at the Iguazú national park. Very nice view from the rooftop pool. The staff let us stay at the pool after checkout while waiting for our flight. I’d come back again without hesitation.

we loved the pool and the location! The staff was super friendly and helpful and the free breakfast was perfect

The big plus of this hotel was its superb roof-top pool. Absolutely impeccable and, finally!, with a view that indicated that, somehow, you were surrounded by selva forest. The bathroom installation was new and functional, the light was proper and the WiFi signal was strong. We stayed two nights and each night we went to the same restaurant - "Jasy", on Av. San Lorenzo, 8 minutes walk from hotel - where you could enjoy not only surprisingly refined food but also watch a (Brazilian?) jazz/bossa nova female singer. Just what you need for a fine dinner!

Breakfast was served in a section of the large entrance hall and consisted in some varieties of fruits, average coffee (though we were so close to... Brazil!) and a mediocre selection of tea, some not so fresh pastry etc. I had to insist to have our room changed as we were offered the worst possible one: at ground floor, without any kind of view but with the dubious 'advantage' that we could have been seen by people in the lobby! The new allocated room was at the 3rd floor and the view was hampered this time by a decorative sun-shield on the facade...

The location of this beautiful new hotel is excellent and it is in a very quiet street. The centre of Puerto Iguazu (Bus Terminal) is a comfortable walking distance away. I do not recommend rolling luggage to or from the hotel. Our north-facing room was spacious but it had a limited view due to a decorative sun-shield on the northern facade of the hotel. The air-conditioning, water-pressure and Wi-Fi were excellent, as were the furnishings everywhere. The roof-top pool is fantastic. For latter alone I highly recommend this hotel.

The very normal 'cold breakfast' does not do justice to the otherwise high standard of this hotel. A variety of cold meats and cheeses would have been welcome. The hotel should consider serving some scrambled egg, fried tomatoes, mushrooms etc. for breakfast. Visiting the Iguazu Waterfalls all day leaves one very hungry and the food there is very overpriced. Talking English to staff at reception and at the downstairs and pool bars was at times painful. "We speak English" does mostly not apply in Argentina!
