Luz Hotel By Castelo Itaipava

I booked this hotel at the last minute and I really didn´t think much about it. Visiting the fall was my main purpose of this visit. When I arrived at the hotel I was very much surprised that the rooms were refurbished, modern and clean. I was also delighted that they had a concierge desk that took care of our transportation to and from the fall as well as to Paraguay. The kids loved the pool! The breakfast was complete with a variety of options to choose from. Definitely will go back to this hotel.

“Did exactly what we needed it to!”

Nice hotel with good facilities in a really useful location. We only stayed two nights as a stop over on the way to Paraguay, but Luz was a really good choice. It could not have been better located for the bus station for our onward journey. Staff were very helpful, especially Rafael. My Portuguese is awful, even though I tried. His English is excellent! He gave good advice on restaurants and getting to the falls in Brazil that really helped us. We visited the unbelievable waterfalls, and thorough enjoyed the bird park. Rooms were spacious and clean but we weren't there long enough to use the pool facilities so can't mention them. Just one issue - the room was very damp. When you came back of an evening, clothes etc had that cold damp feeling. I opened the windows as often as I could to air the room but on our final evening there was condensed water running down the corner pipe chase. Could be a seasonal issue with the *slightly* cooler winter weather. Did all we wanted it to, though, and we were happy with our stay.

“Great location, good value for money”

The hotel is located in front of the bus station, which is a great location for tourists who arrive in the city by bus. Is is 15 minutes by car from the Cataratas Park and 5 minutes from the center. Good rooms, equipped with AC, TV, Wifi, bathroom. Good breakfast and kind service.

“A very good, refurbished hotel opposite central bus station”

I have stayed with four more companions for three nights in this hotel which is just opposite the central bus terminal Rodoviario. At first, I was shocked by the outside looks of the hotel. But then, reception looked almost new and staff was very friendly. English - like in most places in Brazil - … more

I have stayed with four more companions for three nights in this hotel which is just opposite the central bus terminal Rodoviario. At first, I was shocked by the outside looks of the hotel. But then, reception looked almost new and staff was very friendly. English - like in most places in Brazil - is not commonly known. When I then reached my room on 4th Floor, I was more than happy: a newly refurbished, large room with a Kingsize bed, Office space and a new bathroom with shower. Absolutely top: double-glassed windows that keep out any noise from the nearby bus station, with shades built in (German Engineering :-) Breakfast was very good with lots of choice from Müesli to fruit and hot dished. We did not try out Swimming pool and Jacuzzi - but its all there. The owner told us that they first refurbish inside of hotel before they will renovate outside. A wise decision for the guests.
