The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hostel Wanderlust has opened its doors recently in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. It is a two-floor building that can host almost thirty people. Everything in the house is brand new.
The Location
The hostel is sited in the city center, near the Paranà River. The urban bus station is fifteen minutes away. The international bus station is forty minutes away on foot, but there are urban buses that go to the city center. There are restaurants, bars, and stores near the hostel and next to the urban station there is a big supermarket. The hostel is really well situated because you can reach everything on foot or by bus.
Rooms and Bathrooms
On the ground floor are the common areas and on the first floor there are four shared rooms. All the rooms are shared rooms; the hostel has no private rooms. There are three rooms with a capacity of six people in bunk beds of three and one room with a capacity of nine people also in bunk beds. There are no lockers, and the plugs are not enough for all the people in the room. The shared room of nine has its own bathroom and the other three share another bathroom. The bathrooms have a shower, a sink, and a toilet. On the ground floor there is another bathroom with the same facilities.
Common Spaces
In the main entrance you can find the reception (where you can find a table with touristic leaflets of activities around the city and basic hygienic stuff to sell) and also the living room with a table and four sofas. The kitchen is really well equipped and very big, which is important if there are a lot of people preparing their meals. It has a little garden in front the house and in the backyard there is the dining room with a big table and also a BBQ (in winter it's a bit cold to eat outside).
Summary
Hostel Wanderlust is one of the best option for backpackers in Foz do Iguaçu. It has a friendly, peaceful, and safe atmosphere. It doesn't offer breakfast options but there is free coffee in the morning for all the guests. The Wi-Fi signal works really well. It also has laundry service for the guests.
