Stayed for one night in the van (spray-painted converted VW camper) at the end of April. The van itself is nicely done and has a double mattress on the floor and has been well painted to go with the Favela theme. It's nice to stay in something different. The owner Nick and his staff are really friendly and helpful. They... More

Chic, not. Favela, yes. The owner has spared no efforts in making the hostel look and feel like a favela. Furnitures are old and tired-looking. The showers have no heating system inside the shared dormitory! Had to shower in the cold after a trip to Foz Iguacu in the rain. The toilets located outside looked so scary I did not... More

I stayed here twice and had a fantastic experience both times. Never before have I looked forward to going back to a hostel! The hostel is great, nice places to chill out and clean dorms. What really makes the place though is the staff who work there, particularly Nick who was so helpful throughout our stay. The vibe was great... More

We stayed 6 nights at this hostel instead of the 3 we planned to spend there. We loved this chill out place where we met friendly people, owner and staff. As we were on budget we were camping in the small garden. We brought our tent and didn’t regret it! The tents that you could rent here stayed open during... More

We booked here as we heard such good reviews and we weren't disappointed. We offered to pay Nick more so we had our own private bathroom and he was so grateful. The hostel has a great atmosphere and decor. Nick, the owner, and Eddy, the barman, are amazing - they go out of their way for you to have a... More

We stayed at Favela Chic hostel for 2 nights during our stay in Iguazu region. Hostel is situated in very good location- very close to the bus stop where you can get on the bus to Puerto Iguazu (Arg) or to the downtown. However, you don't need bus at all to go to the downtown, it's pretty close. Hostel has... More

Favela Chic hostel is pretty much as the name suggests. The vibe of the place, is as per all previous reviews....people from worldwide who are all chilled & like to share stories & space. The bar allows people to go through to the wee hours, if you think this might bother you, then this place may not be for you.... More
