Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 8 km from Ancon Hill. Stefany went way above and beyond what a hostel host should do. She was kind and welcoming and so helpful with me after my phone was stolen in Ecuador the day before I arrived. I cannot thank her enough. The hostel is clean and comfortable and I would 100% recommend this place.
