Es war ein kurzer Aufenthalt, bei dem wir uns wohl fühlten.

Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in Casco Viejo und es sind nur 10 Minuten bis zur Promenade zu gehen. Die Zimmer waren sauber und das Badezimmer sowie die Dusche waren groß und einladend. Unser Zimmer hat leider direkt an der Straße im Erdgeschoss gelegen und war daher sehr laut und man konnte in das Zimmer von außen einsehen, wenn man die Gardine zugezogen hat war dies aber kein Problem mehr. Es wird Kaffee und Tee den ganzen Tag gratis zur Verfügung gestellt.

Great location, clean room and helpful staff

Helpful staff, clean room, good shower pressure, fantastic location and great value for money.

There was nothing. I had a room right at the top of the stairs so there was sometimes noise of people walking up and down the stairs but that's to be expected so not a problem.

Com exceção da limpeza e banheiro, foi boa.

Equipe muito boa, ótima localização com muitos bares e restaurantes.

Nosso banheiro era fora do quarto, apesar de ser de uso exclusivo, mas era extremamente quente, chegando a ser insuportável ficar lá. Muito desconfortável e desagradável. Ficamos 7 dias e limparam o quarto 2 vezes, apenas, apesar de deixarmos a placa de limpar o quarto.

Muito caro pelo que oferecs

Só vale a localização

Escada gigantesca para subir com bagagem. Porta do quarto não trancava. Cobertor com aspecto plástico desagradável. Muito barulho da vizinhança. Check-in tarde e check-out muito cedo, tornando a estadia curta e corrida, com horários que inviabilizam curtir adequadamente a vizinhança. Tratamento ríspido dos recepcionistas.

No lo recomiendo para estancia de familias

Buena ubicación dado que está situado en el casco viejo con fácil acceso a servicios y restaurantes

En primer lugar no hay ascensor, según parece por la normativa de conservación de edificios del casco viejo pero no se ofrecieron a ayudarnos con las maletas ni a la llegada ni a la salida: íbamos con 3 maletas grandes y una niña pequeña y nuestra habitación estaba ubicada en el segundo piso. Por otro lado no limpian la habitación ni reponen papel higiénico ni toallas, dicen que tienes que solicitarlo pero de esto no te avisan a la llegada por lo que te encuentras la habitación tal como la dejaste por la mañana cuando llegas por la noche. Al lado del hotel hay una casa abandonada con okupas que, a pesar de que afortunadamente no nos molestaron, no dan ninguna seguridad especialmente al llegar de noche y que mantienen la música encendida a todo volumen hasta altas horas de la madrugada, cosa que se escucha mucho desde la habitación.

Goed verblijf op centrale locatie

Centrale locatie, ruime en schone kamer en badkamer en een goed bed. Vriendelijk personeel.

Je bent middenin Casco Viejo dus ‘s nachts harde muziek. Dankzij de luidruchtige airco en mijn oordopjes sliep zelfs ik evenwel goed.

Highly recommended. Great staff, super easy yo get to and from

At the centre of Casco, very central and easy to reach to sightseeing soots

Our room was facing the road where locals partied most of the night. Other rooms might be better choice

Don't pre-order a taxi. Use Uber instead.

The bedroom was very clean and neat. The location excellent. The beds comfortable.

I didn't like being told that I had a taxi reserved for 5:00 a.m., having to pay cash for this the day before without a receipt ( they said it get one from the taxi), waking up to find that no taxi had been ordered, and then getting a hard time - and really having to use my Spanish - to get my $35 back. I ended up calling an Uber, which actually cost me less. Then I had to make the Uber wait while the morning receptionist proved to himself that I had reserved a taxi and had paid the money, until he almost begrudgingly gave me my taxi money back. All this happened while roads in the area were closed due to the protests, making everybody edgy and causing delays in getting around and to the airport. This was very stressful. On another note, this is more of a hostel, so there is a kitchen with a shared space and places to put your food stuffs. The kitchen was a bit messy, but not horrible. Still it could have been much better.

Good

Location was fantastic. The bathroom was not connected to our room and meant we had to leave the room, and use a key to use the bathroom across the hall which was not advertised. We changed rooms and all was fine after that. Felt like the hotel had a hostel feel to it with a kitchen for traveller to use and fridges to keep food in, which I did not expect, but did not mind at all. The rooms were large and comfortable.

Great short stay, adore the area, convenient for walking to restaurants, bars, and landmarks.

I really appreciate the staff and how informative they were. I made a mistake of booking the room for next year and it was quickly taken care of and luckily there was a room available. The location of the inn is wonderful, walking distance to all the historical landmarks, great restaurants, bars, and shopping. If you are into history I recommend checking out the Panama Canal Museum which is less than a 5-minute walk from the inn. I traveled solo and felt very safe in the area. I stayed 2 nights on separate dates since this was a stopover before heading to Playa Venao and heading home. The room was immaculate, mattress and linens were great, and the air conditioning strong. The inn is also a dormitory rooms/hostel. Guests who are staying in the regular hotel rooms have access to the common area and the kitchen if you need it. The kitchen also gives you access to self-serve coffee and tea.

Everything was fine.

Beautiful hotel! Even better location!

The hotel itself has a very regal feel with marble everywhere and leather couches! Nice touches like a deco pillow on the dorm beds make the place feel special. Coffee provided - always wins my heart! Fantastic location!!!!

Air con was weak.

Wonderful location. Clean rooms. Quiet enough to sleep. Staff and hotel takes extra measures for guest safety and provide a map of places that tells guests safe places to walk at night and places to avoid at night. Extremely kind and welcoming. Would stay again. One review said no towels but we had no issue with this during our stay.

It was overall fine given the location, but I will not be staying here again.

Beautiful and historic architecture in an incredible part of the city.

The lock on my door was dysfunctional, which required 2min of playing with lock when unlocking and locking door every time when coming and going each time. Both rooms I stayed in could have been more thoroughly cleaned. TV did not work in first room I stayed in, and also found a cockroach that first night was there. Overpriced given the room conditions.

Okay stay

The beds were comfortable. AC in the room and common areas. Hot water. Clean. Friendly staff who provided lots of recommendations for the area and Panama. Free coffee. Excellent location in Casa Viejo (apart from the noise from neighbouring buildings).

No curtains on the dorm beds and hence no privacy. No curtains on the main window in the dorm room so once it was bright in the morning you woke up. We stayed on a Friday & Saturday night and there was people shouting and music blaring 24/7 from the hostels neighbours. This made it very difficult to sleep and was very frustrating. The hostel ensured us that they call the police regularly however these two evenings it continued all night. On two occasions my boyfriend was asked to sit up properly on the common area couches and was told that lying down is not allowed. There was no one else in the common area at the time so this seemed very over the top. When my boyfriend asked why he couldn’t lie down the security guard told him that 4 security cameras were watching him. This was really weird and very off putting. Because of the above we found the stay very over priced as you are paying for the excellent location but this was totally ruined for us by the neighbouring noise. Also for the price curtains in the dorm room on the beds and windows should definitely be included. It seemed hard for solo people to meet here as it is a hotel vibe and no activities organised.

Very good

very nice dorm with nice wooden floors, no bunkbeds, super clean, very spacious, good and private bathrooms. There was no AC in our dorm but we actually prefer that and in its stead there were fans and also on our floor there was a nice breeze at night that made it cool enough (They have AC dorms as well if you really need that). The view out of the small balcony was nice too. Kitchen and common area were very good.

The hostel is a little pricy but they do deliver, although it should be a little less expensive. The area around is really loud (which is normal though and they can’t do anything about it). The streets in Casco Viejo are full of honking cars and right outside the hostel there is a squatted building where a bunch or locals put on inexplicably loud music on the weekend (from 6pm to 6am and its louder than most concerts). For us the noise was okay though, it’s what you get in Panama City.

I would stay there again. Great value and I love the staff!

Magnolia is part hostel and has private rooms. The private room was small and basic. There is a shared kitchen and sitting area. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The location is perfectly located in Casco Viejo.

My private toom was on street level and smelled musty. I ran the dehumidifier and air conditioner and that took care of it for me.

Met our expectaions.

The room met our expectations based on our previous stays in Latin America. Nothing fancy but it provided what we needed. Staff was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't give high marks for value but then I understand that we were paying for location and that Panama City is a more expensive city.

Air conditioner was noisy.
