Location, and most of all the staff. Thomas is a great host. Super friendly, has some good tips and helped us out a lot as we were allowed to leave our bulky bags and bicycles when visiting the other islands.

The hostel Is super new, plenty of spaces and is super clean. The location is across the center of Colon so everything is close. The owner is a great person and it feels like a place where you can stay longer than usual. So highly recommended. Also the pancakes chef is a fantastic dude.

All hostels in Bocas del Toro

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.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
