The room we were staying in qas so comfortable. It was pitch black at night so we had a fantastic sleep. The Air Con was brilliant. Stephanie, the owner, was so so friendly and helpful and really got us out of a little hole we were in. She didn't have to but went above and beyond to be as helpful as she could be. So very grateful for this. We will pass through again in a few months and will definitely stay again as the hostel was perfect. All that you want in a hostel.

This is a you get what you pay for type of place. It's great value for money, but by no means the cleanest or the most comfy. I was able to use the washing machine and dryer for a fee which was nice. There is AC. The staff were very kind and helpful, they even kept my bag for free for a few nights whilst I was in San Blas (I was coming back to stay here again). The location is good - you can walk to the metro, there are a few shops and ATMs around and Cinta Costera is close too. They accept card payments.

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.

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.
