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.

Casa Areka features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Panama City. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The units at the hostel come with a seating area. It's a really homely feel hostel, small and cosy with some excellent communal chill out areas. Nice kitchen with everyone you need, literally opposite a big supermarket and good location to get ubers to everywhere we wanted. Staff were super lovely and let us store our luggage and hang out there after checking out waiting for our overnight bus. Really nice spot. Was so busy we didn't get chance to use the pool but such a nice extra option too :)
