I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay than this. The staff is the kindest and nicest you can find, and they made me feel part of the family since the very first moment, trying their best in helping me -you can tell they have travelled a lot. The room was super clean, the bed comfy, the toilet very modern. and was furnished with A/C. I loved the owner’s personal touch in decorating the hostel with her own art.

Excellent staff, particularly the young lady who helped us get our laptop charged and allowed us to check in early. Much appreciated! The location is great, close to lots of good bars and restaurants as well as a large supermarket. The rooms are really big and very comfortable, as well as spotlessly clean. WiFi is pretty good.

Looks like adapted old luxury villa - we got big (triple) room with separate closet room and huge bathroom with ancient bathtub. Patio with small swimming pool (water did not look very clean, though), public kitchen. Everything safe, fenced around. Good WiFi. Surprisingly convenient place, also quiet, located in small side street. Several food places (Subway, Burger King, chinese fast food) in the parallel street. About 5km (uber 3-4 USD) to old town, 10km to Miraflores Center at Panama Channel.

It was great to chill in the pool during the hottest hours of the day, the AC in the room was also very effective. The shared food with the other travellers was a great opportunity to learn more baout the places they visited and their plans.

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.
