“Great hostel and staff!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I loved my stay at hostel Bambu... The place was easy to find and the aircon was much appreciated. It was rather clean and didn't feel much like a hostel as each room was different and the bathrooms felt like any house's bathroom and not a hostel's. The backyard was just great with the bbq and the swimming pool...
As for the staff they were very nice as well, quite helpful with booking you into tours from giving plenty of advice on where to go and so on to booking taxis and all that. The internet was available for a small extra fee, which was ok. Also great location in Foz close to a big supermarket and not far from downtown.

“Didn't stay, but staff very helpful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile

We arrived thinking our last hostel had called and confirmed a booking for us, no such luck. The staff here were very apologetic and rang around looking for another place for us. They also told us to feel free to hang around if we needed to to use the internet, have a swim etc.

The staff really went out of their way to help us - even knowing there was no money to be made at the end.

I can't comment on the rooms, so take no notice of my ratings for that, trip advisor won't let me put the review in without them.

“Great atmosphere and staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

The staff were so helpful, always politely asking you if you knew where you were going and how to get there as you left the hostel.

It is a reasonably small hostel, so in my opinion this helps to have a better atmosphere and makes it easier to meet people.

However, if you don't have much time at the falls, you should stay on the Argentinian side (the Argentinian side of the falls is SO much better than the Brazilian side)

“friendly staff!”

the rooms are not worth the money (althouhg clean und alright), but the hostel compensate that fact by a free airport pick up, a good breakfast, very fast internet and a nice community area with a pool (small but a pool). the bathrooms definetly need to be cleaned more often and one should bring earplugs along if you plan to sleep early as they how to party.

“Great service, very good internet, good atmosphere, ok accomondation.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Generally a good experience, the only bad thing that comes to mind is that I had to rent a towel, and you should not be the kind that needs it cold when sleeping (if in the mixed dorms). The staff helped me out far more than you can expect. Fixed me tour on the Itapu, laundry, bus tickets etc. Good atmosphere, and lots of interesting people in the bar in the evenings.

I have no problem recommending this hostel :)
