    The wifi was horrible; do not come here if you need a dependable connection for work. The air conditioning would not blow cold enough to cool the room below 85, even at night.

    The staff was friendly and breakfast was good.

    Location. Is not that something happened but gave you the feeling of being insecure. Wifi is bad but apparently it’s a coverage issue. Breakfast is under-expected.

    Good views, room big enough and people were kind and had a good treatment. Own restaurant so you could have lunch dinner there without a problem.

    The shower felt like it needed a pressure increase but it wasnt the worst - a hot shower after the jungle is always welcome in any form. There was not really much I did not like, most things were always kept well.

    The location was beautiful, in terms of the views. We visited during a time when there was a lot of construction, not an issue. The area was generally quiet at night and the building felt very safe, clean, and well conditioned. Staff were very helpful, and smiling which is always a bonus to when traveling abroad.

    1) Very noisy on first night due to band playing in the bar below. 2) Breakfast was poor and never ready on time 3) For one of the more expensive hotels in Iquitos, there should really be staff who speak English. 4) Air-conditioning stopped working in the middle of the night. 5) No phone to reception. 6) They do not serve food.

    1) View 2) It was clean

    Breakfast was good, but sometimes things ended up quite soon. The pool is smaller than in pictures but great for kids.

    We have an exceptional view of the river from our room (huge room as well!). The hotel is in a great location: really close to Plaza de Armas and Malecon but in a quieter place to scape of the noisy traffic. Staff was really nice and helpful with any of our request. They facilitated the transport form the airport to the hotel making things easier for us.Our daughter loved the pool and the paintings in the lobby and dinning area. Also, the environmentally friendly policy-carbon neutral, it was something important to chose this hotel.

    big mistake

    reminds me of communist government hotels from Eastern Europe, tacky design, dilapidated, cracked floors, smelly room, staff behaving like they are doing you a favour, late with breakfast. The room was big but not worth its price : small beds not comfortable for 2 people despite being sold as such. But worse of all is the noise : you either suffer from cracks and other horrible noises made every few minutes by inefficient and old aircondition, or when you switch it off, not only sweat all night but need to listen to reggeaton and shouts from drunks and junkies from piss smelling square just outside of hotel entrance. If something priced in upper range of Iquitos hotels can not give you even good night sleep, dont come here.

    localisation close enough to center but also to loud drunks making noise below our windows for half of the night
