Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Nativa Aparments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
To get the best experience at Nativa Apartments, request rooms on higher floors (above the 5th floor) if possible. This will help minimize the potential for street noise, as Iquitos is a bustling city and the hotel is located in the heart of the action. Additionally, if you can, opt for rooms on the north side of the building to enjoy some natural light and better views of the surrounding cityscape.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on lower floors, especially near the service entrance or lift as there may be more foot traffic and noise from the street.
Best views
Unfortunately, the address doesn't provide specific information about the hotel's orientation, but rooms on higher floors may have better views of the city, especially if the hotel is built with a slight inclination or has floor-to-ceiling windows.
Quietest floors
Floors 6 and above are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's design and location.
🔊 Noise notes
Keep in mind that Iquitos is a city with a lively atmosphere, and noise can be a concern. Be prepared for some background noise from the street and potential disruptions from the hotel's service entrance and lift.

Top Attractions in Iquitos
💡 Try a 'helado de aguaje' (local fruit ice cream) from the stalls – it's cheap and tastes like a tropical sorbet. Best visited after 5pm when it's cooler.
💡 Walk the full stretch from the Clock Tower to the old Hotel de Turistas. The street food stalls sell fresh fruit juices for 2-3 soles.
💡 Free entrance but you need to sign in with your passport at reception. Allow 45 minutes. No English labels, so bring a translation app or guidebook.
💡 Check out the Casa de Fierro on the corner — an iron house designed by Gustave Eiffel. Free to admire from outside.
💡 Go early (6am-8am) to avoid heat and crowds. Keep valuables hidden; bag snatching happens in tight aisles. A boat tour costs around 15-20 soles per person.
