Nice & quiet, with history & Fitz Carraldo Movie shown by the owner & producer Walter Saxer. Unfortunatelly it looks like the casa has seen better days already - but still nice place, neat rooms and friendly staff. Offered privat guided, 2-days 1 night jungle stay was - in my opinion - with about 300 US$ for 2 persons a... More

La Casa Fitzcarraldo is probably the best place to stay in Iquitos. It is beautiful, filled with luscious plants and a few animals, an outdoor pool, lots of outdoor common areas, including a treehouse with wifi, and hammocks. It is beautifully decorated, the food is delicious (best "breakfast included" I've had in Peru, plus great menu items and a great... More

We stayed at the blue room: spacious, with private bathroom, fan and views to the garden with swimming-pool. The outdoor area of the property definitely stands out and even those guests that do not sleep in, can enjoy the pool during the day for a reasonable fee. There are hammock areas and a very tall tree house, all surrounded by... More

We arrived from Cusco the day before our Aqua Expeditions Amazon Cruise because we didn't want some airport issue make us miss our cruise, and given the fine oiled machine that is Cusco airport (heavy sarcasm) that was probably a good idea. The better plan would have been to spend the night in Lima, which the Cusco to Iquitos flight... More

Hmmm, just read some reviews and wondered if we stayed at the same place as the reviewers. Yes, it can be a challenge to stay here as communication can be a problem. Best to know some Spanish so that you can order dinner etc. We had a wonderful time before our trip in to the Jungle (did a 9 night,... More

The Casa Fitzcarraldo is a place that I have been many times before and enjoyed their pool for the afternoon. Before today I was a fan. I have been in Iquitos as a volunteer helping the street kids. Two little girls and their family I have worked with for some time now. Today I decided to take these little girls... More

A friend and I stayed here for one night before heading out into the Amazon for a week, and there's no other way to put it - I hated every second of it. I had organised for us to get picked up at the airport by the hotel, and after walking around for ages trying to find the car, we... More

Lots of mixed reviews here, but don't get confused. If you are the tiniest bit adventurous this is the place to stay in Iquitos. Walter is a great guy and has a lot to tell about his long work relationship with Werner Herzog and about the making of the movie Fitzcarraldo, Klaus Kinski and the other actors. The food is... More

I stayed here for two nights before going to a jungle lodge. I am very glad I stayed there but decided for my final night in Iquitos to stay somewhere more central. The hotel rooms are great and the grounds are beautiful (if you don't stay here it's a nice place to spend a day - for only 5 pesos!)... More
