Monica at Nativa Apartments is a rare and precious gem. Her care, her attention, her generosity, and her warm heart made my whole stay in Iquitos. I even got to tagalong on an animal rescue mission with her! She made me feel right at home as a solo female traveller, and it was such a breeze communicating online and verbally since she speaks perfect English. Muchas gracias, Monica! I hope to stay with you again.

Wonder place that feels like home
Absolutely a wonderful place to stay in Iquitos. Nice rooms with everything you would need. Very close to everything with restaurants and shopping and the river within walking distance. Monica and her staff are super friendly and accommodating and also speak English. I highly recommend staying here.

An oasis in Iquitos
We had a great experience here. A private secure building that was tastefully decorated. The staff did so much for us. Laundry service, arranged taxis, arranged excursions, etc. This place is highly recommended by us.

Monica & Juana and the other staff are the sweetest group in the world. It is in the safe area and a 5 minute walk from many restaurants, 7 minutes to the plaza de armas and probably 10 minutes to the malecon. The rooms are clean, the air conditioning is excellent, and I loved that they have a microwave and mini-fridge in the room and a kettle (but no stove). The price was excellent and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone going to Iquitos.

The hotel had the necessities such as clean, comfortable bed, good location. The staff were very friendly but I was feeling constantly pressured to book tours through them, from the first moment that I arrived. Other than that, I enjoyed my three nights there. I appreciated being able to make cups of tea in my room with the complimentary herbal teas in the reception area.

Luxury comfort for a great $ amongst great people!
The staff at Nativa will go so far beyond the call of duty to help you maximize your time in Iquitos and comfort at Nativa. Monica speaks perfect English if you need it, and the entire staff welcomes you like you are family. It's more expensive than a hostel, but you get comfort and amenities that are more of a sigh of relief in Iquitos than in other places for a fraction of the cost of spacious comfort elsewhere in Peru. It's a short walk to La Plaza, and they will help you arrange everything else you could imagine from the hotel at a reasonable price. These air conditioned rooms in a family-oriented hostel are a beautifully welcomed comfort to those venturing into the Amazon (or whatever else brings you to Iquitos). You also meet a lot of good people doing volunteer work here; this seems to be where they all stay. Couldn't recommend more!

Very clean apartments with great staff
Monica and her staff keep the apartments very clean. They are also very friendly and accommodating. The owner Monica can speak English very well which was a added bonus. She also planned private trips for me to see the rivers and the many other wonders of Peru at a fraction of the price the tour operators were charging. She also knew the best places to eat, the best beaches, the best methods of transportation and how much it should cost. She even gave me ride to a bus station for a trip we planned for me on her motorcycle. The place is very secure and you never have to worry about anything going missing. She even stored a lot of my cloths and unnecessary items for me while I spent a week in the jungle backpacking. She also exchanges money at great rates so you don't have to deal with the banks.I would highly recommend staying here.

Comfortable one night stay
Stayed at Nativa for one night before going to one of the Amazon jungle lodges. The owner and staff were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, with a fridge and microwave. Nativa is about five minutes walk from the main plaza and another couple of blocks to the Malecon on the waterfront.

A great place to stay in steamy Iquitos!
Nativa Apartments was an oasis in the hot and steamy city of Iquitos! The air conditioning was great and the room had all the necessary comforts. Bottled water was always available and the owner Monica (who is fluent in English) was wonderful and very helpful in arranging for tours, taxis and any other needed assistance. In addition the rest of the staff was helpful and pleasant. If you are noise sensitive, ask for a room facing the back. Highly recommended!

Great rooms, convenient location and very friendly
We really liked the location for ease of access, rooms were super comfortable, it was nice to have our own table, fridge and lots if space. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would for sure recommend to others. Our only complaint was regarding the taxi driver who was sent to pick us up, he was very reckless, and we felt very unsafe driving with him, we was not friendly either and one of his buddies at the airport was trying to ask for a tip to help with our bags that we carried. I know driving in Peru can be dau ting but this guy was unreal. It wasn't a good start. The apartment and staff were great though. Just be cautious with who they send to pick you up.

Decent Hotel with Excellent Staff
Monica and the other gentleman was fantastic. I am not sure how the hotel compares to others in Iquitos, but it is a good location. Only 3 blocks to Plaza de Armas. So, it is far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the moto-taxi's, but a short walk or moto ride to the Plaza. It is really set up like small efficiency studio apartments with microwave, fridge. If you have never been to Iquitos, I suggest you do your research on Trip Advisor first or get a guide. Monica referred us to Jose. He was awesome and really took care of us. For S/.100 he drove us all day and took us to the zoo, (which I do not recommend). But he speaks very good English, very knowledgable and fun.

Our stay was great. The hotel is in a very convenient location: just 4 blocks from the main square.

The best boutique hotel in Iquitos.
The hotel is close to everything. We walked to a different place for dinner every night. It is also close to the riverside shopping area. Monica is very friendly had helpful. She will arrange day trips for you at half the cost of the lodges.

Nice hotel near center
The rooms were pretty nice, air conditioner was great and bed was more comfortable than other places we stayed in our trip. {Price seemed high compared to most other places in Iquitos. We booked in advance and after chatting with other travelers felt we had paid too much. Staff was very friendly but did not speak English so it was very difficult to coordinate things or get advice on activities. We heard from other reviews that Monica was super helpful so we were a bit bummed that she was not there and the other staff were not able to communicate with us. Overall it was a nice place though and very close to the center.

Nice stay in Nativa. The lady was very nice and helpful. She gave us suggestion for restaurants and places to visit for the extra day we have in Iquitos. We booked one night before our Amazon trip but we ended up come back and stayed there for an extra night. It is in a quiet location but the staff very helpful to arrange motor taxi to different places. It only cost 2-3 sols for a taxi ride so it is not a problem at all. The room is very clean and spacious. The room we stayed also has pantry area that has a kettle and microware.

An oasis in Iquitos
My husband and I spent one night at Nativa before we went on a retreat. The place is so pretty, super clean, friendly staff and an excellent location. The owner Monica went above and beyond for us when we had to return unexpectedly due to illness. She made sure a doctor treated him in our room, took me to get his medication and even brought him homemade chicken soup. I was so relieved by her care. He was soon better and we got to spend extra days at Nativa. Excellent hotel with a heart! Highly recommend to any visitors to Iquitos.

Feels like you're staying with family
Monica the owner contacted me after my booking and asked if I wanted her to have a taxi waiting for me and even told me the prices which was great. I had someone waiting at baggage claim for me and he carried my bags to the taxi. I gave him a tip of like $3 soles (1 usd). When I got to the hotel I was greeted by 2 very nice people an older gentleman and a woman. Neither spoke english (which is very common for most of peru that i have seen), but were very polite. My room was nice. Very large, 2 beds, a kitchen area with mini fridge, microwave, cups and utensils provided. They even had the AC running. I was able to get some recommendations on restaurants from the man. The next morning I asked about getting a tour of the city and Monica had already sent a group away about 5-10 minutes prior. She tried getting me another cab but when that failed she had me jump on the back of her bike and drove me herself. She's an amazingly friendly person and speaks fluent english. She even helped me change my currency and gave a much better rate than the banks did.

Best hotel in Iquitos
I have nothing negative to say about this place. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The owner, Monica, knows wonderful English and is willing to help with anything you need. Our room was very clean and had air conditioning. We only paid 100 dollars a night for a two bedroom suite with a kitchen. Also, there is a monkey that rides a dog living at the hotel. Seriously, best place in Iquitos.
