HOW TO GET TO OUR HOSTEL!
OUR GPS COORDINATES ARE: N 08° 58.969 W 079° 31.449
From Albrook bus terminal take taxi (price $2.50/additional person $0,40) and tell the driver to bring you to Calle Ricardo Arias. Then tell him that
this is the street between Hotel Continental and Hotel Marriott. We are located at the end of the dead end street which starts opposite of
RESTAURANTE COSTA AZUL. OUR Hostel is a 4 storey building with a huge space right in front!
Please insist that driver brings you to our place as they tend bringing people to places where they get commission! So don't believe them when
they tell you that we are located in a bad neighborhood-we are actually located in the safest neighborhood in the whole of Central America!!!
At Tocumen international Airport (25km from Hostel) you have 3 different options to get a Taxi.
1. Take an Airport Taxi on the arrival level for $30
2. Take a Taxi Colectivo on the arrival level for $11
3. Go upstairs to the departure level and take a normal City Taxi for $20!
IMPORTANT:
In any of these cases negotiate the price BEFORE you get into the taxi!!!
For daredevils there is even a much cheaper way (25 cents!!!) to get to our hostel. There is a bus stop about 350 meters from the airport. There
you can take any bus that says VIA ESPAÑA. Tell the driver to let you off at Hotel Continental in Via España. Go to the main entrance of the Hotel
and you are already in our street. From there it is only 100 more meters to our Hostel! Remember that this option is only recommendable until 8 p.m. and if you DON`T have BIG LUGGAGE!!!
