Excellent staff, particularly the young lady who helped us get our laptop charged and allowed us to check in early. Much appreciated!

United States
It's super close to the airport which is the main reason for booking it. Also we love that it was family run and operated. They helped us with all of our questions and concerns! We got in late and they directed us to a nearby store to get food and Sim cards to save money. The air-conditioning was great in the room and much needed after a few hit nights.

India
Everything! I'm not sure why this place is receiving such luke warm reviews. It's a really nice hostel, the staff is really helpful, it's super clean, the rooms are very quiet and comfortable , the bathrooms are really nice, big and plenty, huge well stocked kitchen, and the fastest laundry service I've seen in a while. The pool is really nice and in general it has a really nice chill laid-back vibe and is in a super nice neighbourhood. It's actually a lot nicer looking than the pictures. I slept like a baby over here. Possibly the most undisturbed sleep that I've had in a full dorm room in 4 months of travelling. That itself makes this a full 10 for me. I also lucked out with having only super nice and sociable guests there during my stay. Also, best hostel coffee to boot. I honestly would've extended for a couple of days if I didn't have a flight pre booked.

HannahYoung couple - Avg. price/night: € 35.878.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 250 reviewsThe staff were super friendly and helpful and the place was very clean. The amenities were very good, but don’t expect luxury or brand new. The area immediately around the hostel and all the way up to Cerro Ancon were very nice and safe, although you cannot walk to Casco Viejo because there is a neighbourhood between that is not safe. We appreciated the free coffee, $1 beer, and the help from the staff. Would recommend.
