I stayed at Hostal Veraguas 3 nights while I was touring the country of Panama. It was the first time I had ever stayed in a hostal, and I found it to be quite acceptable and a great experience overall. The owner is very nice, and the place is clean and well equipped for longer stays or short trips. I... More

Since the first time I have been in Hostal Veraguas, I felt it was a place to come back to, not only for the warm hospitality of Lidia ( the owner) and the affordable prices but also for its unique peaceful and home-like atmoshpere. So I became affectionate friend, rataher than a guest, as it became like a second home... More

This hostel offers a variety of rooms from dorm style to double private rooms.

She owns the place and operates it with all... More

My girlfriend and I have stayed at this hostel a number of times and we found the owner very helpful and friendly.

Lydia (owner/operator) is a sweetheart and will do whatever she can to make your stay pleasant. She also gives discounts on lodging... More

But we think it is worth the extra steps into the suburbs. The hostel owner is lovely, obliging, well prepared, has a good hold of English and... More

We were expecting much more from this "hostal". We knew that we were in for some originality, but we found a weird place to stay. Very noisy neighbourhood to start with and far from the center of Santiago. The good point is the very amicable owner Lydia and that is about it! In our two travel books, they mentionned "breakfeast... More
