We checked in here into a double room. When we turned down the bed for the night, we noticed a lot of black dots all over the sheets - the calling card of bed bugs. We stripped the bed and found a giant bed bug. When we showed the receptionist this, she automatically changed our room for us and upgraded... More

I've been to this hostel twice. The location is great, very close to supermarkets, restaurants and, more important, the bus station. The staff is very helpfull and provide good information and tips. The hostel itself is very clean and cozy; the matresses and breakfast are superb! the only shortcoming is that the lockers are placed outside the dormitory. There's a... More

The hostel was roomy and breakfast was the best I had on my whole South American trip. There was only one computer which wasn't really enough for the amount of people staying at the hostel. There wasn't a commone room either people just gathered round the big kitchen table. The kicthen was well stocked at the bathroom adequate as well.... More

Ian was great help with all the info - suggested prioritized order of viewing the falls (lower circuit, boat ride, train to Devil's Throat, then upper circuit). 2 blocks from bus station. Clean room and bathroom. Weak wi-fi signal, average breakfast. No regrets.

Of the many hostels we have stayed in recently, this was neither the best nor the worst. It was certainly clean, and the rooms were all comfortable. But the kitchen was very poorly equipped, and we didn't find the staff particularly friendly.

We were not fans of Bambu mini. The private room with ensuite was nice, but nothing special. The double without ensuite and the 4 bed dorm were fine, but less nice than the double with ensuite. Having air conditioning was great, and in the heat and hunidity of Iguazu, necessary but that's the only thing I'll rave about. The kitchen... More

Bambu Mini was a nice place to stay with extremely helpful staff and a good bar and outdoor area. The rooms were fairly basic and quite expensive for a private room however that seems to be the case with most accommodation in Iquazu. Breakfast was good and wifi very strong in common areas.

Everything was clean, the dorms were big. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The toilets were a bit small and cheaply built. But I can definitely recommend this place to other travelers.
