    The facilities at the hostel were decent, with a nice common room that had a pool table. the second room we got was nice, with big windows and decent views. the staff at the reception was quite helpful in giving directions for tours and providing practical information.

    The check-in process took a long time and was unclear. there were some issues with the staff.

    We stayed at Nativus Hostel for our visit to the nearby Machu Picchu footpath. The location was perfect, close to where we wanted to go. The staff was incredibly friendly and the hotel was clean. We loved that we could play chess or pool on the rooftop, which also offered a great view. The free drink was a nice touch, and they even kept our luggage for half a day after checkout. The breakfast availability from 4.15am was convenient, and we didn't have any issues with noise from the nearby trains.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    I gotta say, for the price we paid, we got an awesome deal! The room was surprisingly spacious and had all the necessary amenities. Plus, the location was on point, surrounded by restaurants and bars. The staff was super friendly and helpful, even with their limited English skills. And let's not forget the rooftop bar, perfect for chilling out after a long day.

    The food for breakfast could use a little improvement, maybe some more variety would be nice.

    This hostel is in a prime location, only a few minutes' walk from the bus station, right next to the railway, and close to a variety of restaurants. the rooms are clean and well-maintained, with great hot water in the showers. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing maps and information. the breakfast is basic but sufficient, and they even offer an early setup for those leaving early to catch the bus to Machu Picchu.

    The music playing throughout the hostel can be quite loud, despite the Silence Please signs.

    I got great value for my money at Nativus Hostel. The room was super nice and clean, with a comfortable bed and a proper shower. The location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk from the bus stop to Machu Picchu. The staff were incredibly helpful, printing my boarding pass for free and providing luggage storage.

    The only thing that could make the breakfast better would be a wider variety of items.
