What type of accommodation is Lua Lua?
We are a licensed youth hostel, registration number 011/GC03, with shared mixed and female dormitories and bunk beds.
If you experience vertigo, have reduced mobility or find it difficult to use a top bunk, please contact us before booking so we can assess whether the hostel suits your needs.
How do I get here from the airport?
Global bus 60 connects the airport with Parque de Santa Catalina between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. From there, the hostel is less than a ten-minute walk.
After 11:00 p.m. there is only one remaining bus and the journey takes more than an hour. We may be able to offer a car pick-up; ask us on WhatsApp.
What are the check-in times?
Check-in is from 2:00 p.m. to midnight.
Access is automatic. Before arriving, complete the online registration and follow the personal instructions sent to you on your arrival day.
How does automatic access work?
Before arrival, everyone included in the booking must complete and sign the online registration form.
At around noon on your arrival day, you will receive your personal access instructions and room and bed assignment by message. Staff may not be present when you arrive.

Can I arrive before check-in?
Check-in starts at 2:00 p.m. If you would like to leave luggage or use the common areas earlier, ask us on WhatsApp or by SMS.

What time is check-out?
You must leave the room and hostel before 11:00 a.m. By then, your bed, locker and kitchen food trays must be free of personal belongings.
If you want to remain in the hostel or leave belongings in the locker after that time, an additional night must be paid.
