Great place to stay, staff very helpful. Iquitos is a VERY noisy city and so it is lovely to find a hotel that has rooms away from the main road, and therefore quiet! Bar and minibar prices very reasonable. I would definitely return, but ask for Room 106 which has a kitchenette!

This is a nice place to stay right across from the river. We stayed here one night before heading to the jungle. There was a small fridge in our room. We only ate the free breakfast at the restaurant but it was good. You can buy beers and water there for a fair price. The staff was very friendly.

Hotel is ok. Free pick-up from airport, one way only.

Hotel is ok for the price. Maybe this is Iquitos. Stay one night before and after the jungle. One-way free pick up from airport only. Pay 20 soles for drop- off to airport.

The hotel itself is a historical building so the modern modifications must be taken with that into consideration. Our room had great air conditioning, lots of echo and light from the hallway (which again can't be helped) but hardly any street noise. Location was great, walking distance to many good eats, plaza del Armas and mercado. The staff was very kind and helpful, and the breakfast which was included was very good with a nice atmousphere. Highly ecommend this place for the price.

Cute hotel with modern amenities. The staff here is fantastic.

Our family of 6 stayed one night at Epoca after a stay at a lodge on the Amazon. The rooms were small but clean and quiet. The location was good, as it was a short walk to restaurants and local sights. The desk staff was very helpful with making sure we got to the airport to catch our plane back to Lima. This service was included in the price of the room even though our flight didn’t leave until several hours after our check-out. Perhaps the best thing about Epoca was the very comfortable lobby area where the six of us could hang out after our day’s activities until it was time to leave for the airport.

We chose to stay at the Epoca after doing extensive reasearch of hotel options in Iquitos. It's an isolated region and while there are quite a few lodging options, many appeared to be sub-par. The Epoca is a gem on the Amazon in terms of comport, services offered, and friendliness of the staff. The staff at this hotel are outstanding! We stayed two nights - one before our trip to the jungle and one after. Both times the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The check-in is extremely fast and efficient. The rooms are spacious, clean, and provide all necessary amenities. The included breakfast tasted excellent. We visited their restaurant twice and on both occasions found the atmosphere and food very good. Finally, they took our laundry after 4pm and returned by 8:30pm for a very reasonable price, which was a welcome relief after spending four days on the Amazon. Keep in mind this hotel is a converted house - our room didn't have exterior windows but was still reasonably light and airy. I highly recommend the Epoca when staying in Iquitos!

I was there with family and the room had 3 beds and a loft with a fourth. It is all packed in, but very nice and clean and we each got a bed of our own. It is a short walk from Belen market or Plaza of Arms (historic town center). The staff at this hotel were unbelievably friendly. Never felt like a hotel as much as staying with a family. We ate at the restaurant quite a few times. Breakfast was simple, but best tasting eggs ever. Dinners have a great selection and the fish from Amazon river are great! I would recommend this to any family or couple staying in Iquitos as a charming and relaxing place to stay. Great change from the big hotel chains we often stay at!

Lovely historic hotel in the heart of the city. The staff wonderful caring and kind. My whole experience at the hotel was wonderful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city.

Great place on the melacon in Iquitos near nice restaurants one direction and the market in the other direction. The staff was very nice checking in and in the restaurant/bar. The room was clean, comfortable and the a/c worked great. Very enjoyable.

We stayed here between heading out into the jungle and it was very comforting to return. The room was not air-conditioned which would have been nice amongst the humidity of the jungle, but otherwise it was a very comfortable room with nice bathroom.

Excellent position in the main centre of town overlooking the Amazon, a great place to stay if you are to participate in an Amazon tour. The hotel is heritage and has a great feel. The rooms are comfy, great helpful staff and has a nice restaurant.

ROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR 104 AND 105 HAVE BLACK MOLD ON THE WALLS AND CEILING. SMELL MOLD TERRIBLE. OTHER ROOMS WERE OK. STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE OUR NEEDS. BUT NO OTHER ROOMS WERE AVAILABLE.

There was a musky/mouldy smell in the room the whole time we were there which maybe understandable as it is a very old hotel. The hotel desperately needs an uplift otherwise I will not stay there again.

Awesome hotel. Highly recommend!

The room was clean and ready when we arrived, the staff was friendly and very helpful. We stayed one night.

A/C not working, requested a pedestal fan n got one. Light and ceiling fan, control on same switch, so at night if you turn off light to sleep, the ceiling fan also turns off. Night manager came to the room and unscrewed the bulb, so we could sleep and the fan running. Tried to take a shower at night, no hot water, manager came up and ran the water for more than 5 min. Still only cold water. He said to please take a shower next morning, he would turn up the temperature. Morning still no hot water. Left hotel without a shower. This hotel can't provide the most basic needs for a traveler. Comfortable bed, clean room and hot water to shower.

We spent three nights in total at Época. It's in a lovely old colonial building. Rooms were spacious though bathrooms a little cramped. Good shower and comfortable bed. Breakfast wasn't great, and after first morning we ate elsewhere. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The free airport pickup and drop off was much appreciated.

Really diligent about free pickup and dropoff. Which matters a great deal in a town where airport frauds routinely copy hotel/passenger names down and pose as your pickup driver. No room service and no restaurant but many food options nearby. Room and bathroom a little small and dingy but hot water worked well and hard to complain for this price. Sheets and linens perfectly clean. One of the better options in Iquitos. Staff mostly spoke good English and were helpful with referrals. One block from main commercial street for pharmacy and incidental needs and several blocks from the main concentrations of hustlers. Breakfast very basic but serviceable (eggs to order, fresh fruit bowl, coffee/tea).
