We stayed one night before embarking on a 4-night cruise the next day aboard the M/V Aria (Aqua Expeditions.) For what you get, it's on the expensive side for sure. Keep in mind, however, that there aren't many other alternatives in Iquitos, and there's nothing terribly wrong with the hotel. The rooms are clean, they have WiFi, and the service... More

The price is not worth it. Don't expect a 5* hotel quality like in Lima or other american cities. The lobby and pool are nice, but the rooms are not that good. I reserved a junior suite and it wasn' available until 5:30pm, after strongly asking me to stay at at shorter room, They didn't manage the problem well, giving... More

We stayed one night before going downriver. Hotel is modern and comfortable, with a good bed and quiet environment. Iquitos is a very interesting place to visit with much of the city in serious decline. The residents we met were happy and friendly. Far from 4Star, but a good place to stay in a frontier city. More

I go to Iquitos frequently for business and always stay at dorado plaza for several days. By far the best hotel in town. Great service, airport transport, good amenities, rooms well-equipped, friendly employees, clean facilities, great food (always now dishes to try), good security, large rooms, fair prices for a 5* hotel. Internet connection is pretty bad in the whole... More

I stayed here on business for several weeks in August 2011. It was a frustrating and disappointing stay. This hotel might have been a 5 star at some time in the distant past (the building has the physical characteristics of a good hotel), but even by Peruvian standards, it is nothing more than a dirty, run down and poorly managed...

We were staying in Equitos only one night to prepare to be picked up by a riverboat company the next day. After arriving we were sorry we could not arrange for an additional day stay as the area and community looked very inviting and interesting to say the least. Our room was OK but had absolutely no view of anything... More

My husband and I, and another couple stayed at this hotel twice during our trip to the Amazon basin. Considering that Iquitos is the largest city inaccessible by road in the world, it is more expensive than some other cities in Peru and some amenities are hard to maintain. That might explain why the Dorado Plaza hotel struggled with its... More

You have to put this hotel in context and consider that it is located in a very remote, hot and humid part of the world. At the same time, calling it 5-star conjures up images which it cannot and does not match. Iquitos is a busy, small, dirty, hot, sweaty, lively, noisy-with-hustle-and-bustle kind of place. There are roaches on the... More

I stayed at this hotel after 8 days in the jungle camping. We needed air conditioning and a great shower and bed. Obviously I have no problems roughing it. We arrived and were checked in - I specifically asked about the air conditioning and was told they had it. We were escorted to our room which was adequate - and... More
