Hostel Inn Iguazu is a large HI hostel situated some five kilometers out of town. A local bus drops you off outside the hostel, though the driver will not tell you where to get off -- so watch out for the banners outside the hostel.
The hostel lacks charm somewhat because it is so big -- the biggest in South America. The kitchen is somewhat poor, with very few utensils, even though it supports two cookers and three fridges. The lounge area is huge. It seems to confuse living space somewhat, with internet, meeting point, reception, and dining area all rolled into one. It is all a smoking zone and it is also all a wi-fi zone -- great for those with laptops but not so great for those that don't want to passive smoke. The dorms are dark and have a musty smell. The lockers have seen better days. The outside dorms, however, do support a clean bathroom and a kitchen sink.
The tourist information point is keen to sell you the HI package tours, but it may be better to jump on public transport -- you will save yourself lots of money. The hostel boasts a party atmosphere with lots going on, so it is very popular with the young crowd. There is a pool table, ping-pong, and a great swimming pool (located at the front, next to the main road). The buffet breakfast is good with a selection of cereals, fruit, and breads, along with tea, coffee, and juice.
A great choice if you want somewhere to dump your bags to go to the falls. If you want somewhere a little more authentic, pick somewhere in town. Iguazu puts Niagara Falls to shame.
