Iquitos
This bright new hostel-cum-guesthouse has a dorm room and three comfortable private rooms (two of which have private bathrooms). The guys in charge have cut their teeth working in various Latin American hostels and it shows: traveler-friendly service, wickedly strong coffee at the complimentary breakfast and (if you're lucky) even stronger pisco sours are the hallmarks of this three-floor place.
There is a yoga studio up top, and plans are afoot for a cafe, too.
