Both hosts were incredibly friendly. Even though we didn't stay for that long, my husband and I got to talk and share a little bit with Juan, who was very kind and welcoming. This hostel truly is a hidden gem from where you see it. Beds are comfy, AC is great, kitchen is more than equipped and clean, breakfast was delicious. Thank you Maria Julia and Juan for everything 🫶🏽

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.

Very clean, good location, very comfortable rooms if you get the room with the balcony or the queen room, which has a fridge and a kitchenette (me and my friend got one each). All utilities work well. They stored our luggage for several hours after check-out. All in all a very good experience when we booked these rooms and had the fridge and the private balcony between us.

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.
