Five stars as it is as advertised and met my expectations. Two stays – one night before my 4D/3N Amazon rainforest trip and one night immediately after it. I was originally booked at Hilton DoubleTree for the first stay, but then I learned that Victoria Regia was associated with the Amazon lodge that I was using, so it made sense to book the early stay as everything would be coordinated; in addition Victoria Regia was ½ the price. I had previously booked the 2nd stay via an OTA because I had a free night that had to be utilized before 30 May. Victoria Regia also stored my bags while I was at the Amazon lodge. Victoria Regia is about 30 minutes from the airport (with traffic). It is within walking distance of the main square. Room was a bit small, but adequate give the short stay. One may want to request room in the front as the rooms in the back do not have a window to the exterior; just to the interior courtyard. There is also a small restaurant in the hotel and the outdoor pool seems quite popular. My room included breakfast. I only tried breakfast one time as I had an early flight for my second stay. The breakfast was very basic. Buffet of a few cold items and a hot item, which was brown rice, pieces of egg, chicken (or maybe pork), and green onions. It was fairly flavorful. Juice seemed to be fresh. Two issues. There are several wifi routers to chose from, each having a strong signal in the restaurant. During both stays, I had to constantly change between routers as suddenly (very basic) e-mails would stop loading. This was quite frustrating. I did report this to the front desk at checkout, so I am not typing a note about something I didn’t make the property aware of; apparently the routers need a periodic reset. The other issue is a bit of a pet peeve. It was obvious that many Spanish-speaking guests were present as well as some English-speaking guests. Yet, there are no English-speaking TV news channels. Specifically, I don’t understand why there is France 24, RT, and CCTV, but no CNN International. With regards to Iquitos itself, it is a gritty city. Peru was country #57 for me. Not sure I’d utilize more time to tour Iquitos. The advertised museums were generally closed. And a reliable person told me that while the Belen market was highly recommended to walkthrough, he also suggested that I find a local to hang with me (not necessarily as a guide, but someone to watch my back.) All in all, if I ever return to Iquitos, I’d certainly consider this property again.
