Liked: good kitchen, friendly staff, comfy bed. nice outdoor area, cute dog.

Disliked: we rented a dvd, but then couldn{t watch film properly as was too noisy, but guess that{s fair enough in a shared hostel. wasn{t a big deal and it{s nice you can rent films at all.

Liked: First, I was there at an odd time. The Panama Census was being conducted and it restricted me and others a bit. Not too bad for me as I was just needing to stay at Purple House for 1 night. I would tell folks to not be overwhelmed by all the signs. They are there for your information and protection (as well as Cute-Sis'. Andrea is a hoot. If you have time, sit and laugh with her.Monica
