The Corner Hostel Playa Blanca

Review by hotel critic

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Corner Hostel in Panama, and it was a delightful experience that truly exceeded my expectations! Just a stone's throw from Farallon Beach, it's perfect for beach lovers like myself who want to dive right into the local culture and cuisine. The ambiance was so warm and welcoming, with the staff—especially the front desk guy—making us feel right at home. The breakfast was a highlight, offering a delicious variety that was significantly better than what I've encountered during my travels. I particularly enjoyed grabbing a bite before heading out to explore, and the mini-market across the street made grocery shopping super convenient—an absolute must for anyone looking to cook fresh local fish back at the hostel. Our private room was spacious, equipped with air conditioning and a lovely view, making it a fantastic escape after a long day. With friendly animals roaming around and a lovely terrace to lounge on, the Corner Hostel is more than just a place to stay—it's a community hub that resonates with travelers seeking both comfort and camaraderie. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable city break!
