- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.

Questions about Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal
What time is check-in and check-out at Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 12:00 PM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal?
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 Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal 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 Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. 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 Santa Cruz Backpackers Hostal?
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.
