"I noticed Zebulo offers many free perks—free breakfast, free coffee and tea—and even a jacuzzi on-site; dorms use basic squeaky metal bunks with no curtains but rooms are capped at nine beds so they aren’t crowded. It has the cheapest private rooms in the city (though there’s no hot water), staff organize lots of tours (including to Colombia and the San Blas Islands) and weekly events like BBQ nights, and overall it felt like a laid-back place that makes meeting people easy." - Matthew Kepnes
