Very nice hostel. The people working there also very attentive. Everything was clean, the location was good in a quiet area not far from the coast. The pool was a good option to chill Wifi worked well. The breakfast was prepared in the hour, something that I have rarely seen before Tks!!

Very good service! The staff was very nice and helpful both in answering our many questions about the city and how to get around, and when one of our bags got stuck in costa rica they fixed so that we could have one more night on short notice, even though the hostel was almost full. Also the location is very good! Very safe neighborhood, a big supermarket (24h open) very close by and close to the sea, busstops and the cinta costera and the multiplaza mall.

Spacious room with a private bathroom and tv, close to supermarkets and a spacious, well equipped and very clean communal kitchen (the cleanest hostel kitchen we’ve ever seen). The outdoor area is nice and the breakfast is delicious.

Good value of money, great location (close to the metro) and the city center is only 30 min by walk on the promenade. Everybody is helpful and the property is calm, I had a good sleep after my long flight.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location is really quite close to the aiport as well as some great facilities. The room was very comfortable, honestly the bwd was so comfy, I slept as well here (if not better) than in some much more up-marked hotels. It was a real plus point for me. The room is basic but it literally has everything you need and the whole place has a cheerful vibe about it. On the basis of this stay, for the price....it's an exceptional find and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

All hostels in Panama City

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
