El Dorado
Plaza de armas. in the plaza de armas but it is not cheap; it will set you back us$100 as of november 2009. it is a level apart from the rest but if you can afford it it is worth the money. pool area is great and food is also very good.
Reasonable places can be found for around 25 USD per night, including air conditioning important and very welcome in the brutal heat of the tropical environment and a private bathroom. If you are staying in Iquitos and are not enjoying yourself, consider splurging for a room with A/C, as it can make the difference between a good trip and a great one.
Given the louder-than-average noise of traffic, ask for a room away from the street.
