The breakfast was good, and the back part of the hostel was very relaxing. There's yoga mats too.
PanamaWaking up to fluffy pancakes for breakfast was great. I enjoyed both the dorm and single room- spacious and clean. The beds are super comfy.
South AfricaGreat location, staff is Wonderful and so helpful, love the garden in the back with lots of hummingbirds visiting and the breakfast was always wonderful.
United States of AmericaWe really like the patio, the games (jenga, twister, uno), and it was super chill.
PanamaGreat place, centrally located on the main street nearby quite few restaurants and Cafés - check Columbian Restaurant for delicious vegetarian food and Heaven Cafe for good coffee. The staff is super friendly and helpful and they make yummy pancakes for breakfast. We had a quite small but nice, very clean room with the window and view of mountains which we really enjoyed. The kitchen for self cooking is well equipped, the garden is a nice and peaceful place to relax after fantastic hiking and the yoga room is nice when opened. It's a place with great atmosphere 👌
United States of AmericaThe staff are very nice! Breakfast is huge! By the end I was asking for only 1 pancake haha. Great use of the kitchen. Tons of information about all the nearby hikes and things to do so you never really need a tour though they do offer them as well! Due to the large amount of people staying there you were almost always able to find a buddy to hike with. Met some amazing people!
CanadaIt was well situated to the fresh food market and other stores. Also the free breakfast was good.
CanadaSuper cute hostel, very good vibes with a warm welcome by the staff. Comfortable beds, clean and good showers. I only stayed one night because of timing, but definitely would’ve stayed longer if I could.
United States of AmericaThe staff are very helpful and nice, they have work outs that are fun to join in and learn new moves. The place is very warm and cozy.
United States of AmericaAlthough I never made it to the pancake breakfast everything else about my stay was wonderful. The location was great. There’s places to get food within walking distance and you can walk or bike to all the hikes and waterfalls around the area.
