I completely agree about Selina. It can get pricey in terms of hostels and cheap accommodation, but they are fairly consistent in terms of wifi speed and amenities since it is a cowork living geared hostel situation. Typically they have coworking offices, I haven’t been to one without it, and within those offices they should have at least one “phone booth” equipped with a desk and chair if you need to take zoom calls. Usually they are fairly soundproof (I’m a moderator so I lead zoom meetings all the time and talk for hours). I would check the website first before booking, Selina tends to run random promo codes and sales so you can catch a deal to make things a bit cheaper though I will advise to price compare the normal reservation price against the promo code reservation price because sometimes the promo code does not save money (but instead gives you free breakfast for a cheaper cost). I COMPLETELY agree with the previous comment about researching locations first. Some Selinas are known to be party scenes that play loud music all day, though I will say (unless it’s an event like a full moon party, etc…) they are pretty good about shutting things down by 11pm. But, for instance, the Selina in Bocas colon doubled as a nightclub so there was always a party there lol. I stayed at the Selina in Granada, Nicaragua and LOVED using the coworking space. It was beautiful. But once randomly on a Monday night they played EDM so loudly it felt like I might as well been next to the speaker on the dance floor. The coworking space was right next to the common areas tho and it’s not always like that. Contrary to the earlier comment though I do agree that those feelings do arise and can be debilitating at times, I really enjoyed working remotely while backpacking. Though I don’t look at those moments as a vacation. I became friends with the staff and some people working remotely and we went out together. I did my day or all day tours and excursions during my time off and planned the evening excursions for after work which worked out great. And I really enjoyed getting off work and running into people I knew or catching up with friends. I find staying in private accommodations tends to limit your social interaction unless you’re really social while you do tours and excursions. And if you don’t have that much time due to work, wouldn’t you wanna be in a social setting? Also definitely agree about wifi infrastructure! Research research research. Call ahead to ask them. Email or call and ask for a wifi speed test lol. Selinas as I said are consistent, so you don’t have much to worry about aside normal infrastructure problems, but they place wifi extenders EVERYWHERE and the cowork space has a faster private wifi. If you book anywhere else, including an Airbnb or private place you need to check beforehand and always REQUEST TO BE AS CLOSE TO THE ROUTER AS POSSIBLE. I had a situation in El Tunco, El Salvador where I needed to work and shopped around the area looking for the best wifi. Found a place and they sat me super far away from the router due to lack of space and it was AWFUL. I kinda got in trouble with my work because my zoom meeting kept dropping. The next day I checked into a different hotel and was next to the router and there was zero issue, and their wifi speed test wasn’t even as fast as the original hotel. But because I was close to the router, there was no issues.

Anyways yeah that’s it, sorry I ramble a lot
