The hostel is located a 15 min walk from the main plaza. It's a dark hole when you enter, but the upper rooms are better. The staff is playing games all day on his computer. There is just 1 hot shower and you have to pay for it. There is a pool, but without water. And finally, now atmosphere. But,... More

For a simple good nights rest in Santa Cruz you can not ask for better.
