Description
My name is Luis, co-owner and founder of a family-run hostel located in the city of David, is a family bussiness, 2 panamanian workers help me.
Our hostel is right in the heart of the city, surrounded by nature and a peaceful atmosphere. We opened our doors 15 years ago and offer 12 comfortable and affordable rooms.
I’m lucky to have two team members who help keep everything organized, from cleaning to front desk reception. My mother also lives in the family home, which is part of the property. And I can’t forget to mention my four-legged family—my three dogs—who are an important part of my life and bring a special charm to the hostel.
I love sharing my culture with guests. I lived for many years in Canada, so I speak French, English, and Spanish. We offer free Wi-Fi, a fully equipped shared kitchen where guests can cook their own meals, cozy common areas to relax and enjoy nature, and access to a swimming pool and jacuzzi to unwind.
Whether you’re here to explore or just to relax, we’ll make sure you feel at home.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Workawayers will connect with my family, my mother, friends, and guests.
They will have the opportunity to exchange experiences with the many people who visit us, and most importantly, with our team and their families.
They will learn with us how to organize and manage a hostel in David.
From each person, I expect honesty, a willingness to help, and a true exchange of cultures.
