A person has to take into account where a hotel is when evaluating it.  No hotel in Puerto Maldonado is going to be confused with a luxury Paris hotel.  There was much to recommend the Don Carlos.

Our room was very clean.  I have to say I was concerned that we might find bugs or mold, but it had neither.  It was neat.  It was cool!  And it was very quiet.  There was a nice patio to sit on in the afternoon where you could see the Tambopata River, catch the late breeze, and read a book.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, as were all the people we encountered in Peru.  When we needed a taxi, they got it for us.  (And rides in Puerto Maldonado are very inexpensive.)

The room included breakfast, which was more than satisfactory.  The coffee and eggs were both delicious.

We only spent one night there so we could get adjusted before heading into the jungle for a week, but we liked the place.  

There is a question below about whether the hotel is quaint.  I'd say it is.  Not in a gingerbread quaint way.  But check it out and  you'll understand.  It's a great place to relax and get ready for a trip into the rainforest.

Nice Hotel in the Tropics

Stayed at this hotel for about 2 nights, the location was abit far off from the centre, but looks very nice with tropical surroundings. If you're picky with hotel standard I would not recommend it. The place was altogether dirty and under construction, the staff could not speak english very well, internet worked in my room but not outside my door. The pool was full of bugs and I did not care much for the breakfast either. Regardless of these faults I enjoyed my stay because I was backpacking, and felt like this was a jungle hotel. The rest of my stay in Puerto Maldonado I stayed in Cabana Quinta.

Dirty and messy

I had to stay in Puerto Maldonado for a weeked and got the hotel recommended at the airport. the place was clean and comfortable. The air conditioned saved me from the jungle's stunning heat and the free wi fi helped me a lot. This city is in the middle of the jungle but the staff was very helpful and kind and made my stay a lot easier and comfy.

A fair stay

I recently stayed here for one night while spending a few nights in Puerto Maldonado because our first hotel choice was sold out on our first night. For the amount we paid 130 Sol per room it did not really live up to expectations. Everything seemed to be quite worn, the sheets and towels all had holes in them. The bed room was clean however the bathroom left a lot to be desired. Although the shower itself had been cleaned the shower head and controls had not been cleaned anytime in the recent past. No shampoo was provided and hot water was nowhere to be found. The other problem was that our rooms faced a residential street and when six o'clock in the morning came around there was absolutely no way you could continue to sleep. There was an internet connection available in the lobby that you could connect your laptop, I didn't use it so I can't comment but it was available. The high points were the staff who although they didn't speak much english were very helpful and friendly and the air conditioning worked great. Over all I wouldn't recommend staying here, for an extra 40 Sol a night we stayed at the Cabana Quinta which was much much better.

Much better places to stay for the $$

THIS HOTEL WAS AWFUL. We only stayed one night,  and it was one night to long. (Do your best not to stay in Puerto Maldonado at all, its a depressing town. Instead, look into the EcoLodges on the Rivers. We stayed at EcoAmazonia lodge and it was terrific.) The hotel isn't completed. It's still being worked on everywhere...the pool  had at least 10 'holes' around the pool deck (they were grimy and not covered) and if your not paying attention you could break a foot. Also, there was a gym downstairs that was blasting music from when we arrived around 11am until after we left around 7 am. It hurts to listen to.  Also, at around 6:30pm one night, the hotel and half of the town lost electricity. I'm not sure if this is a normal occurence, but no one came to knock on our door to apologize or even explain. The sun went down by 6, so if you didn't have a flashlight, it was a problem.
