Really nice hostel!

Questions about Hostal Yakumama

What time is check-in and check-out at Hostal Yakumama?

Check-in is from 11:00 AM. 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 Hostal Yakumama allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Hostal Yakumama have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Hostal Yakumama 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.

Can I check in late at Hostal Yakumama?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 11:00 AM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Hostal Yakumama?

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.
