Bambu Hostel

Lonely Planet Panama Review (Oct. 2010 Edition)

Now the first real Jungle House at a hostel in Panama! Made from native woods and real bambu! Come to David, Panama to experience it!

\'This chill little house is an ideal crash pad for backpackers up for a little rock n roll. Run by a NYC musician, its two dorms have electric hot water showers. Double privates with low-slung beds sport cable TV and air-con. Ping pong tournaments may get serious, but the best feature is the sprawling, manicured garden that commands relaxation, with a sparkling swimming pool and the requisite hammocks.\'

Welcome to Bambu Hostel & Tours.. We are a Backpackers Hostel with a deluxe in-ground pool and Mayan-Style rancho bar and landscaped garden. Located in a quiet neighborhood in the San Mateo District of David-City, Panama. We welcome Backpackers and International Travelers from all corners of the world. Please note that this is a travelers hostel NOT a hotel, and is geared towards folks that want to be in a place that is conducive to meeting fellow travelers.
