Hostel Mamallena Reviews

Hostel Mamallena Boquete is an ok hostel -- with breakfast pancakes that are an absolute treat -- located in the perfect spot for those arriving into Boquete.

The Location

This hostel is located just across from the bus stop, so it gets a lot of footfall from people arriving into town. It is very central -- but Boquete is very small so most things are -- you have the option of a large supermarket just across the park that sits in front of the hostel, and it is just slightly off the main road so all of the restaurants and bars in this small town are nearby. If you are looking to visit the lost waterfalls, the collectivos are just a couple of blocks away.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel itself is a little rundown, The dorm rooms are spacious, but cleanliness is lacking (the floors throughout the entire hostel are filthy). The eight-bed dorm is situated with the window next to a very busy and noisy bar that seems to open very late, so that could cause problems for some people. There are only two bathrooms for the whole hostel, but it seems to be adequate even with the number of people. They both claim to have hot water, but it is very temperamental and requires a lot of patience. They aren't overly clean but are manageable with enough space to get changed inside.

Common Spaces

For the size of the hostel, it has a decent amount of common space; you have the reception area and an outside patio area as well as a large indoor lounge room. The outdoor area is a great, calm area with comfortable seats; the inside lounge room feels a little high school common room with a couple of couches and a few tables where you can eat. The hostel does have a decent-sized kitchen where you can cook and store your food. They also have free breakfast, which is just coffee and pancake batter so you can make your own pancakes; it can be pretty hectic in the morning, but free pancakes are free pancakes, right?!

Summary

Mamallena is an ok hostel for a couple of nights. The younger guy working there is unreal -- very helpful and friendly -- while the other staff are not so welcoming. It's in the perfect spot to roll off the bus and explore Boquete.

About 30 metres away, on the right side of the park you`ll see Hostel Mamallena, the light blue house. It couldn`t be closer.
