The Purple House International Backpackers Hostel in David City

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

The Purple House is a fun hostel and a great place to meet other travelers. At the same time it is homey, with a friendly staff, and it's very clean and comfortable because it is owned by experienced travelers who know what other travelers are looking for! Our theme is purple, and most guests are surprised to see just how many things we have managed to find in the color purple!   Sometimes the reservation system shows us as full (for next-day reservations), when in fact, we have plenty of space available. If the system won't allow you to reserve contact us directly at the hostel to confirm availability.   Information about The International Fair of David:   To avoid overbooking, please note that we do not accept private room reservations through this online reservation service during the Annual International Fair of David (March 2010). Contact us directly at the hostel to make your reservation.

Wegbeschreibung

If you are arriving to David City from the Paso Canoas border of Costa Rica or Cerro Punta or Volcan, you do not have to take this bus all the way to the bus terminal.! You can ask your bus driver to let you off about 3 blocks from The Purple House (La Casa Morada), and that way, you save taxi money! This is what to do: Ask the bus driver to let you off in front of the bus stop &quot,Universidad Tecnologica&quot,. You will be in front of a gas station. Pivot your body around and look for the Budget Rental Car Office, and walk toward it and continue on this same street (Avenida Sexta) for 3 blocks toward the Chamber of Commerce. It is a five minute walk.

If you somehow end up at the bus terminal anyway, follow the instructions below!______________________________________________________________

Is you have arrived in the bus terminal of David City (Bocas del Toro, Panama City, Boquete, Las Lajas and others), Take any bus (30 cents) that passes in front of McDonalds (there is only one here) When you pass McDonalds tell the bus driver to stop at the Supermercado 99. Get off here, and continue walking straight ahead of you 1 block to the Budget Rental Car office. At the Budget office, make a right and walk 3 blocks till you see the pretty purple house on the corner.
