I'd call this place home. Stefany is the most special host I've ever met. She treats everyone absolutely wholeheartedly, helps you in every possible way, even integrates your life into hers by bringing you a lot of love from both her and her family members.. She is capable of all that simply because she loves what she's doing, it's her life instead of just a job.. I'd definitely come back to my "home" no matter how far away I am.. It's a place where all of your worries go away the moment you enter, because she does all the worries for you.. 😄😄😆😆

Everyone's very friendly. Great place to get to know more people. The staff is helpful. You might have some small communication issues as the staff are composed mainly by Spanish speakers, but I didn't have any problems with that as they were always very patient to understand what I needed.

Spacious room with a private bathroom and tv, close to supermarkets and a spacious, well equipped and very clean communal kitchen (the cleanest hostel kitchen we’ve ever seen). The outdoor area is nice and the breakfast is delicious.

This is a you get what you pay for type of place. It's great value for money, but by no means the cleanest or the most comfy. I was able to use the washing machine and dryer for a fee which was nice. There is AC. The staff were very kind and helpful, they even kept my bag for free for a few nights whilst I was in San Blas (I was coming back to stay here again). The location is good - you can walk to the metro, there are a few shops and ATMs around and Cinta Costera is close too. They accept card payments.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
