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 8.2 km from Ancon Hill. The room we were staying in qas so comfortable. It was pitch black at night so we had a fantastic sleep. The Air Con was brilliant. Stephanie, the owner, was so so friendly and helpful and really got us out of a little hole we were in. She didn't have to but went above and beyond to be as helpful as she could be. So very grateful for this. We will pass through again in a few months and will definitely stay again as the hostel was perfect. All that you want in a hostel.
