The hotel was ok for the price paid, but it really needs improvement. The bathroom didn’t have a proper window and the AC would take longer to cool down. So close the window if you want the whole room to cool.
Breakfast can be better, more fruits would be helpful.

I had a bad experience because when I showed up at the front desk they said they didn’t have my reservation :(
Hotels.ca tried to help but we figured something out on our own.
From what I got to see (lobby and washrooms) it was pretty basic but clean.
The location is pretty convenient since it’s two blocks away from Plaza de Armas. It is important to note that there are two El Dorado hotels on the same street, one a block away from Plaza de Armas which is not this one, keep going one more block and you’ll find El Dorado Express.

Upon arrival, the door was locked but there was no one at the desk to let us in. It was raining outside, so we simultaneously knocked on the door and called the hotel for several minutes before someone (who didn't appear to work for the hotel) finally emerged to say the desk clerk was busy and would be there shortly. Once the clerk finally let us inside, he appeared flustered and forgot to return our documents after checking us in. The room seemed dirty. The bathroom had a large hole in the wall revealing interior piping.

The hotel was very close to the plaza and center of the city. There were several tourist agencies nearby. The bedroom was clean, spacious and well ventilated.
The staff was very nice and courteous: they made conversation with you and made you feel at home.

First room was super nice, comes with a little fridge which is a cool bonus. Second room had pretty average air conditioning, and internet isn't amazing, but overall a nice spot!

The staff who was a girl said I need to pay in the front.
But actually I already paid by my credit card.
I didn't check well about this cuz I don't use internet well.
Anyway Expedia said I need to wait to refund.
Anything else was good at all.

Below average breakfast (and only instant coffee) and I never received a hand towel (They just gave me paper towels). Also, the wifi wasn't so great on the 3rd floor. I was disappointed with that, but the service was excellent otherwise. The front desk wass very friendly and helpful with recommendations and general information about the area. I slept comfortably with the air conditioning. Overall it was a good deal. I would probably stay here again. I would just walk 10 minutes towards the Malecón to either Dawn of the Amazon Café or the Amazon Bistro and have a good breakfast there.

We went a day earlier than planned to the hotel as there was a protest planned by the Indigenous People and there would have been no transportation to get there. The hotel easily dealt with our change of plan. Our room was a third floor walk but our luggage was carried up there for us. The foyer and our room were very effectively air-conditioned. It was L-shaped so offered some privacy to the three of us. No pictures on the wall and the ceiling with some damage. There was a television set and internet connections. Sometimes the connections were down for no known reason and electricity was off for 4 hours but i do not think this was the hotel’s fault. A cooked breakfast was included in the reasonable price. Also included were use of the facilities of the 5 star El Dorado Hotel a block away with swimming pool and restaurants.
We felt safe there despite the protest going on for 2 days which caused all the shops to be shut and most restaurants. The protesters covered the streets in garbage and broken glass and set some fires. They were protesting the big oil companies that had pulled out leaving their land damaged and water polluted, and they felt that the government representatives were doing nothing to help them. Riot police were there to make sure things were under control and the streets not completely blocked so the rare motorcycle or pedestrian could get through.

We stayed at Hotel Dubai following a trip to the jungle. We wanted nothing more than a comfortable bed and a hot shower. Unfortunately we got none of those things. The water came out as a trickle and not very hot. The beds were like sleeping on wood.
The saving grace for the hotel was the service of the hotel front desk. I cannot remember his name, but he assisted in fixing our reservation, pointing out where to go eat, helping find a store for my dad, and just provided great customer service.
I would not go back unless they fixed the rooms to include hot water and a more comfortable bed, but they are extremely friendly.

It's unfortunate because I wanted to give this hotel a decent rating, however right after we checked out I noticed a wad of cash was missing from my wallet (which I always kept hidden in a drawer in our room). Our friends in the room next door also came back on the last day and saw someone had obviously gone through their backpack and had stolen their expensive sunglasses (and they didn't even try to clean up the mess afterwards). We were both very good about locking our door, but there was fishy business going on with the staff. The front desk guy kept telling us there is only one key per room so we had to leave our key with them if we wanted it cleaned, but that's a lie because we saw a guy who at least looked like a worker walking around with a huge set of spare keys, and we even saw him enter our room with them a couple times while we were inside the room. The employees seemed courteous enough during our stay, but when we confronted them about it upon checkout they just shrugged it off and said they'll check with the morning staff, but never got back to us. I've written several e-mails still with no response, so I can only assume they are all in on it together. They are a bunch of crooks who take advantage of tourists. DON'T LET THEM.

This was a horrible experience. After arriving at the hotel, we were told that they did not have any indication of either one of our reservations. After taking us up to our room, we were greeted by a room that was no bigger than the bed and did not have any of the amenities listed in the description. Even though promised, the room did have a bathroom, but rather a locked door that we were not allowed to enter. After complaining, we looked at a larger room, which contrary to their assertions, had not been cleaned and smelled of bleach. Since they lost our reservation, we opted for a different hotel. Depending on the cost and your length of stay, this may be an acceptable lodging option, but I would caution you!

Just 3 short blocks from my rendezvous point. Very safe neighborhood. Helpful Peruvians everywhere. Close to all types of shopping and sightseeing and banks. Good memories!

No hot water in the room. After waiting for several minutes, no running water came out of the shower so be patient... Very noisy due to location near a busy intersection. No elevator available. Very basic breakfast.
