First of all, we were sent an email prior to our stay that detailed all of the amazing amenities that we were supposedly going to have in our room and hotel. Our hopes were brought way up and then shattered. First of all, Amazon Apart Hotel boasts "individually decorated" rooms. If this is the case, then ours was decorated with a leaky ceiling, noisy workers above us, and a minimal approach, not only were there NO decorations at all in our room, let alone flowers, but we had a ceiling that was leaking water and cracks running down the walls with some of the lights not working. Our "king sized tempurpedic" mattress was two twin beds pushed together, there was a huge crack in the middle of our bed! We were only supplied with one towel in our room when we arrived, which is kind of a big deal when you're hot and sweaty in the amazon. When we DID ask for more towels, we were told that "they had run out". We stayed during the off season!!! The room smelled funny, the fixtures and sinks were shotty, wobbly and sketchy. The nieghborhood that this hotel is in, near the Belen market, is the worst of all of Iquitos!!!! It was scary and dangerous. If you're into efficiency and protecting the environment, RUN from this place because there was a three inch gap between the window and the AC unit where hot air just came in 24/7, not to mention swarms of amazonian bugs! The windows in the bathroom were screens that you couldn't close, very very awfully planned and wasteful, PLUS we could see into the bathroom across the hall because there are windows that line the whole shower! We saw a naked man showering!!!! If you want hot water, you have to shower in the morning or else its freezing cold. NOBODY spoke english at reception, and they were very pushy and rude, they tried to make us stay longer to wait for THEIR shuttle when we needed to go to the airport, I had to beg them to call a taxi. The only good part about this place was the really nice waiter at the restaurant and the food was pretty good, but if you're going to iquitos, I don't care what the guide books or ads say, this place is a rip off!!!!! Spend the extra few dollars and stay near the plaza de armas where you know you will get what you pay for.
