I've stayed at the Hotel San Martin several times when visiting Foz do Iguaçu. I love this place, and that's what keeps me coming back. The hotel is located only about 200-300 meters from the entrance to the Brazilian park. It's right next to the Bird Park. It's only about 4 kilometers from the airport--very convenient all around. The hotel... more

The room was simple but clean. The swimming pool was excellent, food not very good and pricey. The highlight of the hotel is that it's very close to the entrance of the fall's park. I booked the hotel in lastminute.com and the website offers a free shuttle bus from and to the airport. This shuttle bus does not exist at... more

We took a chance and turned up without a reservation out of season. The place was deserted and we very quickly got R$100 a discount off the room without trying! The hotel is nice. The rooms are clean but a little basic. Whilst they are away from the restaurant and night club (which was a kids creche when we were... more

After reading the reviews in Trip Advisor I went to the San Martin Hotel with no expectations. I was so wrong. The hotel is 200-meter away from the Brazilian national park, no shops or restaurants nearby and about 15 minutes from the city of Foz by bus ( which offers good service and the bus stop is just across the... more

This hotel seemed to us to be an old resort that probably used to be a destination in itself, but is now, for most people, just a two-day stopover while visiting the falls. There is a feeling of "faded elegance." The best part is the grounds, which are spacious and well-kept, and include a lovely pool area and beautiful nature... more

We picked this hotel due to its location which did not disappoint, however the hotel has beautiful grounds but the interior is all dark giving it a dinghy feeling. We had read previous reviews and seen the photos so we knew what to expect. The bathroom was OK but the bath itself had marks in the bottom of it. Our... more

We stayed at this hotel for three nights. The one major hiccup was the standard room. The hotel itself has a lovely swimming pool, grounds etc and pretty good facilities but the standard room was truly appalling. We tried several of the rooms and they all stank of cigarettes smoke. The room was also not only small but the condition... more

First the positive things: We liked the large pool-area and also the breakfast-buffet was fine. (although we saw better ones on our Brasil trip). But the variety was good enough for us and everything was fresh. We liked also the very close neighbourhood of the National Park and the Birds Park, which I recommend both. The room was shabby, oldfashioned,... more

Having just read the previous review, I am a little suprised at the problems experienced as we stayed in September 06 too and were happy with the hotel. Having said that, we did find the staff at the reception desk of varying helpfulness and politeness! When we got there they tried to get us to pay for a superior room,... more
