“The unfriendly and incompetent service destroyed it all”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

To start with the good things: Rooms are clean, but ours had a window only into the hotel corridor, which is firstly rather dark and secondly not very quiet. Also, our room was already a bit worn-off; some simple maintenance work should be done. Location is very central, just some meters off the Plaza de Armas. And the free internet is easily accessible.
That's it with the good aspects. Now the bad ones: From the first minute of our stay, the staff at the front desk left a very bad impression. And yes, I mean: VERY bad. We were treated rather as somebody preventing the staff from resting than geusts who are respected and treated in a friendly way. Examples: Arriving after a ong journey at the hotel some time in the afternoon, we wanted to take a shower, but there were no towels. We asked for towels - nothing happend for half an hour. We asked a second time - and got towels, but accompanied by unfriendly remarks of the front desk staff. We had no drinking glass in the room. We asked for two, got at first none, secondly one and finally, asking once more, the second one - again not without unfriendly treatment. At breakfast, the same impression: Waiters stand around; being greeted by us, they even didn't answer the greeting (not to think of them greeting first!); we were served, yes, but again with this "Why do you bother me?"-attitude, unfriendly, slowly and without politeness. Checking out, the treatment by front desk staff was again unfriendly and, in addition to that, totally incompetent: The man handling our check-out procedure took at least five phone calls during that time, just letting us stand around waiting. Coming to payment, he wanted to make us believe that credit cards don't work, though we agreed with the same man on this form of payment one day before. Finally, we made it to pay by credit card, but this was handled completely unprofessionally, took us lots of time and gave us a last impression of the unfriendlyness of the staff that accompanied our whole stay in this hotel.
Given all these impressions, the hotel is overpriced. Though it decorates itself with three stars, it deserves none - the behaviour of the staff destroyed each of them!

“An Ok place to stay, well located”

My wife and I stayed here (room 309) enroute to Ceiba Tops Lodge on the night of 28th February 2010. It was clean and functional, but not brilliant. It is well located 5 minuted from the square, I'd stay again. Good Value, but not flash.

“Simple hotel. Good enough for a couple of nights.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2009

person found this review helpful

Excellent location near the main square. Very small swimming pool in the courtyard, but nowhere to lay down to enjoy the sun (around noon). Friendly and helpfull staff. Don't take their advise though on restaurants to visit. Very simple breakfast. Officially till 10am, but around 9am most baskets are empty. Please note that currently (August 2009) the hotel is under construction. Lots of noise between 9am and 8pm. If you like to sleep in, avoid this hotel until they finish (september 2009?).

“Weak”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2007
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed in Iquitos for a week, 4 nights at the El Dorado Hotel.

I must say I was very disappointed. Room was ok, but service was weak , staff very impersonal and breakfast is a shame.

A very strange and original point is that they organized a birthday party on saturday night, and therefore it was almost imposible to sleep.

But the worst was the fact that the price they finally charged was higher than the price appointed the first day.
