    Great place located between the main square and Belem market. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. Specious common areas and well equipped kitchen. Simple, good breakfast with yummy fresh juice. The best of all, very nice and helpful staff, always finding time to answer questions and share information. Probably one of the best hostels we stayed recently. 👍

    Old beds that are shaking and creaking when someone rolls over to the other side. Some mattresses have iron parts inside, that are almost sticking out.

    Very good breakfast, but served only until 09:45. 10 minutes before 10:00 the ladies don`t want to prepare food anymore. They say that they are already cleaning.

    Nice position, near plaza del arma. Open 24h, my room was clean and comfortable. A bit of noise since the windows are road side and the glass is very tiny. Good bathroom, water was cold btw. The bed was good and the room has an amazing view directly on the Amazon river. Breakfast was ok.

    Internet hardly works (but I think it's a general problem of the city) The room I was at was very noisy in the early morning (5 am)(it had Open Windows and it is near a market, so normal as well). On the other end, the temperature was decent!

    Nice place to meet new people (although Iquitos is a stopover town) Simple yet nice breakfast Kitchen with actual cabinets to store your food They have a cat Medium large locker

    The vibe of the place was really weird. Didn’t feel social even though there were people scattered around. Can’t pay by card even though there’s an EFTPOS machine, which is annoying when there’s an ATM withdrawal limit. Some staff were friendlier than others.

    The double room was really comfy and spacious. Big comfy bed, hot shower, and air conditioning that was a godsend in the humidity after being in the Amazon. Breakfast was standard Peruvian of bread, egg and jam, coffee, juice, but fine seeing as it was included.

    Showers were little problematic - no warm water during our stay, some of them were missing hangers. The beds were hit or miss - some were good, some not really.

    Breakfast was a standard Peru - toast, butter, marmalade, egg, coffee/tea, juice - very good considering it is included in the price. The common spaces were very nice and comfortable. Plus it is very close to the city centre and the staff was really nice and helpful.

    Beautiful and comfortable room with great aircon. Location is perfect and staff are so friendly and helpful, definitely recommend!

    Breakfast had too much bread. I was in a group of five and we wasted a lot of bread so it would be good to give less and tell people they can take more if they want.

    Great location. Good value for money.

    Sometimes they run out of soap so bring your own. Actually i should just have asked they probably would have refilled it.

    The atmosphere is so chilled, lovely and caring! It it is very easy to feel like home in flying dog. The staff is so friendly, helpful and open.

    The breakfast was pretty lackluster, although there was eggs made to order. You can expect to have to leave the hostel in order to get decent breakfast, there are nice acai bowls at places on the Blvd just a few blocks away.

    I had two nights in Iquitos before going on a medicine retreat in the jungle and I chose to stay at Flying Dog at the recommendation of a friend. The location was good, you'll pay no more than 20 soles to get there from the airport, and it's close to the Touristico restaurants on the Boulevard, as well as Plaza de Armas and the Belen market. I was treated like family by the staff with my every request being accommodated with a smile. It's easy to get around by foot (watch for the doggie doo on the sidewalk though, that's a common occurrence in Iquitos), or you can catch a moto taxi which are always outside. I felt safe catching a moto back to the hostel at night, the desk was staffed 24-hours. The guys can help arrange tours, just know to set a price before you go and if it seems like too much money it probably is. My room with a private bathtub was good value, the AC worked great and the bed was adequate. Abundant hot water which can be difficult to find in Iquitos. My room was at the front of the hostel and luckily i am a good sleeper as it was quite loud outside from about 7am until 10pm or so.

    No AC in the room. The room had no AC, which is key in this part of the world (the Amazon).

    Location was great, breakfast was a plus but the room had no AC, which is key when traveling / living in the Amazon! The staff was great and very welcoming though. Just put an AC unit in the private room and we'll come back!
