kitchen

This was my first visit to this place. I stayed here for a week and can say it was ok. Service was good. Cleanliness was acceptable. Breakfast was good.
Pool was not clean enough.
Check in was smooth.

Excellent stay

The check in was smooth. I upgraded tje room and included the brwak fast for $5 per person per day which was good, very simple and limited breakfast, but what can you expect for $5.
The room was ok and clean. The bed was not very comfortable, but we figured it out and could sleep well.
The pool was not very clean and we did not receive service one day during our 7 nights stay.
We relaxed a lot. Very quiet place. We used the kitchen several times and it was also ok. We spent most of the time in the room.

Good quality/price

We were happy to find the friendly guy from the hostel waiting for us at Panama Airport because there was a general power cut when we came out of the customs area. However the driver of the shuttle did not acknowledge our presence in the car while she drove all the way to the hostel (about one hour drive). Even though we had booked a room with double bed and shared bathroom, we never expected what awaited us. The room was hardly larger than the bed and the windows were all sealed and we just couldn’t face the idea of staying the night in such a cage (even with airco).
We went back up to the reception, but everybody was gone! Fortunately, we found another employee, the very friendly and helpful Ms Greiskell Velásquez, who found us another room after calling the owner. The room needed to be seriously tidied and cleaned (the bathroom was filthy) and she mobilized the cleaning lady who made some rapid cleaning so that we could turn in for the night.
The bed was rather comfortable, but the sliding door to the shared terrace didn’t close and the overall condition of the room was very poor. The next morning we had a so-called breakfast that didn’t appeal to our appetite at all, included in the price according to our reservation, but that the owner presented as ‘a courtesy of the house’.
We sincerely regret having booked here and don’t recommend. The photos on the website must date from another era and maintenance has been forgotten since.

Low price does not justify poor quality

Booked this hostel as it seemed to be a good deal! Got to the hotel about an hour after check-in where we were told they didn’t actually have a room for us, but offered us a slight discount on the dorm-style room if we chose to do that instead. Hostel was incredibly hot and dorm room was incredibly small with no safe spot to keep our luggage when not at the hostel so we ended up finding a new hotel to stay. 

Did not complete stay. 

I booked this hostel based on the location and reasonable price and a week before my trip I cancelled my booking (was entitled to free cancelation) cause I found a better place. However this Hotel charged me for the room and even after a month when they were finally convinced to refund my money, they didn't refund the whole amount! It makes me really angry that some people are just looking for their advantage and don't respect others! Definitely do not choose this place! :(
