When we visited Zuly's in July of 2008, they were in the process of moving to new digs down the street. This new hostel, although in its embryonic stage, looks set to be a great one. It features a spacious kitchen and a barbecue pit. Other features include free WiFi, hammocks, and lockers. Although we weren't around to see the finished product, we expect this is probably going to be the best budget place to stay in El Cangrejo once it's finished.

This place is great. It is located in a perfect place in a safe neighborhood and really close to everything. The dorms are good and clean and there are no more than 6 people in one room. The kitchen is clean and very well-equipped - probably the best hostel kitchen in Central America! The staff is friendly and helpful and has loads of information about Panama. The best is that apart from speaking English as a second language, they actually speak Spanish, which is not very common in hostels in Latin America. And all this at a reasonable price of $10. At first we stayed in Lunas castle which was exactly the opposite, dirty, rooms packed with 12 people, expensive, disgusting kitchen and as if this was not enough we were mugged right in front of the entrance at 6pm (by the way, we were not the only ones as we found out later)! Zuly's is so much better!
