Description
Hi I'm Johanna, the owner of the hostel. I'm an American who has lived in Panama for all of my life. I have owned and run the hostel for 13 years and have been able to meet incredible people from all over the world. Nelly and Joel, also help me run and keep the hostel clean. The hostel is in a great part of the city, very close to metro station, supermarkets, and parks. It also has Panama City's one and only climbing boulder wall.
