Zulys Independent Backpackers in Panama City, Panama

-zulysbackpackers.com-From Albrook bus terminal take a taxi (price $1,75/additional person $0,25) 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 opossite 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 commision! So don't believe them when they tell you that we are located in a bad neigbourhood-we are actually located in the safest neigbourhood 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 $15
3. Go upstairs to the departure level and take a normal City Taxi for $20!

IMPORTANT:
In any of these cases negogiate 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 busstop about 350 meters from the airport. There you can take any bus that says VIA ESPAA. Tell the driver to let you off at Hotel Continental in Via Espaa. 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 recomendable until 8 p.m. and if you Do not have Big Luggage!!!
