Traveler Reviews of Flying Dog Backpackers

Noisy

I found this place to be fairly expensive for what it was: a noisy, average hostel in Miraflores. The common area is right by some of the rooms, including mine, so I was disturbed all night long by people either using the internet, watching TV, coming home drunk, and then at about 3.30am the cleaning starts. It is OK, very central to everything and very convenient but I wouldn't go back.

The best place i have stayed...

This hostel just rules. The people working there are just great. Getting to know all those travelers, sharing experiences and having that much fun is not that easy. I really recomend the Flying Dog... a great place
