Hotel Acosta is conveniently located near the main square in Iquitos. I stayed only one night as a stop over to the Amazon. The room was clean (had a mini bar and TV w/ CNN news) and a full breakfast was included in the price. My room also had a balcony which was a nice surprise, but it over looked a high traffic road so it stayed noisy all night. You did have to pay for internet and taxi pick up at the airport. Btw, my taxis was NOT waiting for me when I arrived....after several phone calls and some waiting, I was finally collected (some sort of mix up/over sight). I feel I over paid a bit for my experience, but Iquitos is more expensive compared to other parts of Peru and over all it was fine, plus the staff was nice and helpful.

This is an OK place ... clean enough. The breakfast wasn't exactly appealing, but the food was OK and safe to eat. Some of the staff were very helpful; others seemed like they didn't really care. The area is safe and the lobby has a computer so guests can access the internet (for a relatively high fee). This hotel offers very basic, but clean and safe services.

On my November trip to Iquitos, I stayed at the Hotel Acosta for 5 nights and got a much better feel for the place. Surprisingly, my regard for this small hotel rose after spending more time here. It's still not the fanciest hotel around, but it's quite comfortable. The TV, mini-fridge, in-room safe, and balcony all made for a very pleasant stay. The room was considerably larger this time, though they gave me a double (2 twin beds) instead of a single bed. I never took advantage of the free breakfast, but it looked to be typical continental fare with coffee, juice, and breads. The staff was extremely helpful. I checked in about 8:30 in the morning and they let me stay several hours past checkout when my departing flight was delayed. It was very safe with 2 men working at night -- one was always outside on the street as you approached the hotel, but the neighborhood is safe anyway.
