I have been to Iquitos 15 times in the last year for work and have tried several hotels and always come back to the Victoria Regia. None of the hotels in Iquitos are up to US standards but this one is the best - particularly when you consider the price. This is the hotel I choose when visiting the Amazon with friends/family. Two negatives: (1) the hotel is further away from the main square than the Dorado Hotel but you can get a mototaxi for 2 soles (5 minute ride). (2) It is noisy on the front side of the hotel. Every time I check in, I ask for a room in the back and they have always had one available. The breakfast is good and the staff are friendly and helpful - although knowing some simple spanish helps a lot with communication.
