Es muy caro teniendo en cuenta los recursos disponibles, y los cortes de luz son muy frecuentes. Incluso después de que vuelve la luz, es difícil conectarse a internet durante 30 minutos.

What we’d check for you here

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Nativus Art Hostel
What time is check-in and check-out at Nativus Art Hostel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Nativus Art Hostel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Nativus Art Hostel?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Nativus Art Hostel?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Nativus Art Hostel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Nativus Art Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Nativus Art Hostel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
