Fijne prive kamer, groot net ventilator en airco. Gedeelde douche was prima. Altijd beschikbaar wanneer we deze wilden gebruiken.
De gezamenlijke ruimte vonden wij niet zo gezellig en we hebben er daardoor ook niet gezeten.

everything but the breakfast rooms clean and comfortable, staff friendly
The Breakfast Package could offer more

Staff was so nice, even got me breakfast when I was a few minutes late. Everything was clean, so many places to chill even though it wasn't a huge hostel, it felt like you had plenty of privacy if you wanted it.

Ik vond de sfeer erg aangenaam. Het wat heel schoon, ontbijt was goed en het personeel heel vriendelijk. Ik kon gemakkelijk nog een nacht bij boeken in een dorm. Fijne buurt met genoeg winkels op loop afstand.
Prijs kwaliteit vond ik de dorm beter.
De eerste nacht sliep ik in een privé kamer met gedeelde faciliteiten de tweede in een dorm. Ik vond de privé kamer veel te duur voor wat het was.

Pool area, very social, perfect for solo travelers, good wifi, well-equipped room (charging station near the bed, ac, good bathroom, balcony, comfortable beds, space for luggage), great and safe location, super clean kitchen, nice breakfast
Only one toilet and one sink in the 10 bed dorm room (but it's not a big problem)

Convenient location, great vibes.
Not very clean, broken/not working lights, sometimes water did not run, closed pool.

Sehr gute Lage außerhalb der geschäftigen Altstadt, aber trotzdem nahe an Metro/Bus und auch mit Uber nicht weit in die Stadt.
Betten sind sehr komfortabel, die unteren haben einen blickdichten Vorhang, die oberen nicht. Oberes Bad mit Po-Dusche und Fön, unteres leider nicht. Pool ist natürlich top! Jeden Morgen gutes frisch zubereitetes Frühstück :)
Schließfächer unter dem Bett
Schneller Wäscheservice
Wunderschöner Außenbereich
Die Sauberkeit der Duschen und Badezimmer könnte noch optimiert werden. Außerdem hat das obere Dorm mehr Annehmlichkeiten und die oberen Betten keine Vorhänge. Duschen haben nur kaltes Wasser (bei dem Wetter völlig ok aber gut zu wissen)
8.0 / 10.0
Lage: super zentral. 10 Minuten bis zur nächsten Metrostation. Überdurchschnittlich großes Doppelzimmer (Dreierbelegung möglich) mit großem Kasten und kleinem Tisch. Das Bad war gleich nebenan.
Beim Frühstück dauerte es ewig, bis man seine Pancakes bekam.
8.0 / 10.0
Schönes Hostel, alles ordentlich, Pool dabei.
Die Organisation des Frühstücks ist schlecht. Als Info steht "Ab 7:30" gibt es Frühstück. Was nicht da steht: Man muss sich in eine Liste eintragen. Der erste bekommt dann Frühstück, vielleicht um 7:45, der letzte eventuell erst um 10:00. Für Leute, die an einem Tag was vorhaben ist das blöd.

Room was great it was big and cozy, Pool area was great and it walking distance to may different restaurants in Marbella.
It is pet friendly which is a plus.
They didn't have soap to shower and towels were wore out.
8.0 / 10.0
The staff is really lovely and the facility is really nice!
I could leave part of my stuff in their locker while traveling out of town, they could wash my laundry basically as soon as I arrived
Hair in the shower of the private room
No door for the bathroom in the private room (!!!)… we were a fresh couple and ended up using the common bathroom
I had to leave very early in the morning and there was no chance to get a packed breakfast (which we did get everywhere else when we had early tours)

Muy bonito y céntrico, relación calidad precio excelente, ambiente increíble, amé
No voy a decir que estaba sucio porque no lo estaba pero había rincones sin barrer y que quitaban un poco de confort

Clean and comfortable rooms! Free breakfast included, varying between pancakes and French toast.
Not very big, nor a lot of people to socialise with

I loved everything. Left one air BNB to come back to this one for both layovers. I finally got in the pool it wasn't deep but it was clear and lovely.
The view from the terrace was beautiful.
Convenient for restaurants and the airport also.
Beautiful decor. Nice kitchen. Nice staff. I love love love this place. Will definitely come back. Just got the good vibes.
No blankets for the beds.
At one point they ran out of water on the higher floor. But really not negatives

Ruime aparte kamers met veel kleding opberg kast ruimte! Prima ontbijt, qua prijs kwaliteit verhouding perfecte locatie. Uber of taxi is snel geregeld als je het oude historische centrum wilt bezoeken
Zodra de gedeelde douch aangaat is dit goed te horen. Nu hadden we een paar keer per nacht dat iemand ging douchen.

Great staff and breakfast, good location
5.0 / 10.0
Nice common areas, spacious rooms. Breakfast was good and plenty(but only sweet). Staff was helpful.
The complete lack of hot water was not as bad as i thought.
The mattress in the dorm was very bad. Worn out, with nearly a hole in it, so was impossible to have a normal sleep, which is the only reason of my low rating.
The location was ok, calm, nothing was too far, but there wasn't anything nearby either.

Everything was really nice! Breakfast was really good 😍
Unfortunately, no one spoke English, what surprised me in a hostel. But the staff was really friendly and we were able to get all the things we needed.

The hostel has a very nice design. They can organise trips to San Blas and tours around the city. Breakfast was french toast and melon with coffee included.
The staff weren't very friendly and it made it tricky to ask them questions. Only one of the three showers in my dorm had a working light and my locker door was broken. The location was also not great, there's nothing to do there - I'd stay in the old town next time.
7.0 / 10.0
Nice and safe neighborhood. Friendly, helpful staff. Good, changing breakfast.
Not the same spirit as in old location. No curtains on upper beds. 3 showers but only 1 toilet in 10 bed dorm. No little table in bed for placing the phone.
7.0 / 10.0
The breakfast and outside area, they give you a towel for free and the sheets were spotless! Several plugs next to the bed, air con in the room and little fan for each bed.
The mattress wasn't that comfortable, not that much privacy on the top bunk beds.

Room was large and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and nice. Good breakfast provided free of charge. Good proximity to city centre.
Shower was cold and kitchen was a bit hectic.

Nice pancake breakfast. Location is good and there's a garden to relax. Room was very spatious.
It was super hot because there's no AC in the common areas.

We had a private room at the top of the house with shared bathroom. It was really big and comfy bed. The shared bathrooms were also good. The pool area was very nice and there was also a free breakfast. We only stayed one night but wanted to stay longer, but they were fully booked.
8.0 / 10.0
It felt a bit luxurious which was nice for a change. The 14 bed dorm was huge and very spacious (normally I don't stay in large dorms but this was super comfy and quiet). Nice relaxed and quiet vibe. Loved the shelf for people to leave unwanted clothes.
I felt staff and volunteers could be a bit more chatty so that you feel more welcomed.
7.0 / 10.0
Stayed for 2 nights, did not want to book a chain hotel so took the private room with private bathroom, which were both very spacious. A/C worked well, swimming pool and common area is nice, good wifi, no problem for uber to find the hostel
No sheets on the bed when we arrived, had to ask for them, small stains on sheets, do not understand English that well, rooms could be a little renovated, it is a good thing it is warm in Panama because no hot shower, breakfast was very simple but you can use the kitchen if you need to cook, not their fault but people nextdoor stayed on the terrasse until 6AM and were laughing nonstop, even though windows were closed we could hear them as if they were just next to us

Very helpful team, clean, and good localization.
5.0 / 10.0
Amazing staff. Brenda and Lucy as the nicest part of it. Wonderful evening entertaining and really cool games. Other than that great design and lighting in the hostel.
The pool wasn't any deep... you couldn't swim even if really tried. The showers inside - cold and very dark. Nonetheless was the location of the hostel not very good and it's generally pretty hard to find when first arriving.
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing hostel, great area, nice personnel, rooms and community areas are big, breakfast is delicious and the pool is great. Would recommend it definitely!
They don't offer tours or activities, but it is quiet which is nice and you can still get to know people easily.
9.0 / 10.0
Very nice hostel with a pool and big rooms
You have privacy due to little curtains and own lights
Very quiet at night and very good kitchen
Location was a bit far from the Casco Viejo
