These amazing places showed immense hospitality, had incredible services, thoughtful staffs, and were a great place to rest our travel-tired heads as we ventured across their countries.  luna1 A stay at Luna\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Castle was the beginning of my part of the expedition, and I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have asked for a better start. This hostel, in a beautiful, three-story colonial home has an aesthetically pleasing interior, creative artwork covering the walls, and balconies that give a stellar, immediate view of the Casco Viejo neighborhood with the downtown skyline across in the distance. The chill and peaceful atmosphere give the hostel a great feel, and the helpful staff make you feel right at home. The community kitchen is perfect for cooking meals, the commons area is a great place to eat and talk with other travels, and the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153chill rooms\u00e2\u20ac\u009d give a person a chance to relax, chat, or just have a thought. Rooms are reasonably priced, and their variety of services make it a perfect stop for travelers. The movie theatre in the bottom level is top notch, and their plans for a bar in the back patio will really add to the already incredible hostel. Do us a favor and stop in to say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153hi\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to Daniel and his crew for us. Luna\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Castle is a special place in Panama City, and you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be disappointed.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.theworldbyroad.com\/expedition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/luna1.png"}
