Andrea has it very well organized. It is very reasonable and you can tack on extras if you wish. The veranda and outdoor shower "fountain" is where I spent the afternoon during the heat of the day - and I kept cool plus met other travelers. Not fancy but has all the services you could want!

It could do with a new coat of paint (purple of course!) but otherwise it's clean. Andrea runs a good, efficient service with heaps of information about the area. The verandah is a good place to socialise and I met people from many walks of life, including a couple planning to retire on the Azuero Peninsula. There were friendly warnings... More

We booked Purple House on Hostelbookers and there was a problem due to Hostelbookers allowing the double room to be booked twice for the same night, so the room was not available for one of the nights. We weren't to fazed and stayed in a dorm the first night, but Andrea went out of her way to accommodate us and... More

When we were passing through David we came horribly late at night and would have slept on anything. It was great how nice the staff was, and cute-si the spaniel is certainly cute. The dorm room left more to be desired though, as they were really musty and loud with the three fans blowing around the thick air. Things didn't... More

They were a last minute life saver and for $7.70 a night for a bed was perfectly adequate. (though prices will be increasing to $9.90 later this year). Dorm style beds with clean sheets. No air conditioning but lots of available fans. Clean shower, even if the free one is cold (hot showers available for $1). Be prepared for lots... More

This a well run hostel where the owner seems to go to a lot of effort to provide useful services to guests, but there wasn't much of a happy vibe. If you're passing thru for a night, you'll be fine, but more than that and you might tire of it (and all the purple!)

My husband and I stayed at Purple House for 3 nights and really liked it. I keep seeing a lot about rules and Andrea always looking around, but I honestly think Andrea has a very kind heart and is looking out for her guests well-being. I felt very comfortable there and I am going to stay there again on a... More

The Purple House is clean and comfy, but it's really awkard to be staying in the house of someone who doesn't really appreciate the presence of strangers there. Every time you look up somewhere, you see a new rule. I stayed there 5 days in total (in and out) and in the end I was exhausted of being watch for... More

This is run by a lovely lady who is very helpful. The rooms are nice and reasonable priced. The location is quiet and easy to get a taxi to and is walking distance to resturnats and stores. A small place but very comfortable.
