 Part of the Main Rooms Block &
Pool by Bwana_Brown
The hotel is located only a few minutes drive from the international bridge over the Rio Iguazu leading into Brazil. From there, it is another short drive to the entrance of Parque Nacional do Iguacu.
We liked the looks of the place as soon as we drove in through their big gate in the fenced-off hotel grounds. Nicely manicured grounds, clay tennis courts off to the side and a beautiful swimming pool at a lower elevation with colourful bougainvillea vines climbing the walls. It was looking good already!
Since we were pre-paid as part of the package deal, we never actually paid a room rate, but an internet site (details below) quotes their single and double rooms at about US$70. After a hot day walking around the national park at Iguazu Falls, we really enjoyed the pleasures of this hotel swimming pool!

 Sunset over the falls, as seen
from outside hotel by toonsarah, 2 more photos
There's a bar with a terrace overlooking the gardens leading down to the river, and a more traditional interior with dark wood and a piano. The restaurant serves fairly standard tourist buffet food, but you can choose to splash out on dishes from an á la carte menu which we did one evening and had a very good meal. There's also a reasonably sized pool if you haven't got wet enough already walking by the falls!
A room for two in October of this year (2008) would cost just under $189 according to the hotel’s own website (see below) but I reckon you could find cheaper by shopping around. Since our visit the hotel appears to have added a spa to its list of facilities, but I imagine you would pay extra to use this.
When we spent a couple of hours by the pool one afternoon we enjoyed a visit from a pair of coati – their antics kept us amused for quite a while!

 Hotel Tropical das Cataratas by andal13
Honestamente... no me hospedé allí! (Y probablemente nunca lo haga...)
Low budget travellers of the world... This place is not for us!!!!
Situated in the middle of the National Park, surrounded by the forest, with a spectacular view to the waterfalls... Wow!
Never mind... probably the noise of the waterfalls does not let you sleep!!!!
The picture was taken by me... from a helicopter!!!!
Viajeros de bajo presupuesto del mundo... Este lugar no es para nosotros!!!
Situado en medio del Parque Nacional, rodeado por la jungla, con una vista espectacular de las cataratas... Guau!
No se preocupen... probablemente el ruido de las cataratas no deje dormir!!!
La foto la saqué yo misma... desde un helicóptero!!!

 Downtown Foz do Iguacu by Bwana_Brown
We only visited the downtown area of Foz for just under 2 hours, the day before our Brazil-side Falls tour, so we did not actually spend much time there. However, it was evident from the skyline and signage that there is no shortage of good places to stay here on the Brazilian-side.
The streets were very attractive and the city seemed friendly enough in our brief experience. They actually have a 'tourist patrol' of some sort that approached us to give us some friendly advice as we stood there looking like, 'tourists' I guess! Theme: OtherDirections: Foz do Iguacu, only a few kms away from the Parque entrance.

A great breakfast buffet is included in the cost and there is also a nice swimming pool and office facilities including internet access (although it's over-priced to surf the web here).

 Hostel Paudimar in Foz do
Iguacu by mangueirense
It looks like a small hotel with swimming pool and soccer field and does have also a beautiful garden with hammocks. It's also very inexpensive - only around R$ 12,00 (about US$ 4,00) a night in a shared room and about 30 Reais in a double-room called "cabana". If you are not Hostelling International member you can sleep there too, paying a little of around 10 Reais per person more.
Its location is very convenient for visiting the Brazilian side of the falls, and they also organize day-trips to the argentinian side for R$ 20,00 (US$ 6,50) per person, which is the cheapest bargain you can get (add about R$ 30,00 - US$ 10,00 for the park entrance- fee in Argetina).
If you would have to go on your own you'd need to take four buses to get to the Argentinian National Park.
If you would like to reserve there, contact hostel Paudimar in advance, as they're usually fully booked all around the year.

 Another view of the Falls by scarm
I would check the internet for hotel listings, as the hotels are numerous, including high-rise hotels with views of the river. Nearly all hotels in Brazil offer breakfast to all of the patrons, with a full spread of fruits, breads, meats and cheese, juices, and sometimes even scrambled eggs and bacon.

We didn't stay there, preferring to stay in town, so, the only thing I must say is that this is the only hotel at walking distance from the falls. But one thing you have to decide: If you want to stay in the middle of nowhere, just to "live" the falls and its jungle, this is your place (if you can afford it). If you want a more lively place (not much...) you better stay in town and come by car, having in mind that this town follows American standards, which means that everything is spread and distant. Theme: HotelComparison: more expensive than average

We didn't stay here but visitors wanting to stay right inside the park might take a look at this hotel which is within walking distance of the Falls. I'm pretty sure if you stay here you don't have a view of the Falls from the hotel since the hotel is not very tall.
If you want to stay inside the National Park on the Argentine side, take a look at the Sheraton Internacional Iguazu Resort.
