✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Amazon Ventures Lodge, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (4th or above) to minimize street noise from the main road. The hotel's location in Iquitos means that rooms on lower floors may be affected by traffic and pedestrian noise.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the elevator, as the small size of the hotel means the lift may be more prone to noise from the adjacent rooms and corridors.

🪟

Best views

As the hotel is situated in Iquitos, the best views will be of the surrounding cityscape or the nearby river. Request a room with a city view for a glimpse of the Amazon rainforest's edge.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4-6 are likely to be the quietest, as they are away from the street and lift noise.

🔊 Noise notes

Be aware that Iquitos is a city with significant traffic and pedestrian noise, so even higher floors may still experience some noise pollution.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
