Nothing everything good

I really like the privacy you have in this hostel due to the construction of the beds. The price is great for what you get. I felt really good and safe in the area of the hostel. I appreciated that there is a female dorm. Staff is nice and a big plus is also the cute bird living there. :)
It might not be the cleanest/most modern hostel but it is a great deal for the price and I would always go back there if I am in Panama city!

It’s close to San Tomas metro station and bus stops if you intend to use public transport. Also the neighborhood is quiet safe even at night time, Alex is attentive and always try to make sure the place is clean.
Female dorm is a bit small, but the they turn on the air-con on in the evening. Bathrooms are downstair and the rooms are on the second floor, just FYI.

Staff were very helpful
Automated aircon made room a tad too cold.

Pod hostel - some more privacy and comfortable bed. In the city centre with free parking.
No showers near the room. Overall the showers and bathrooms not super clean.
6.0
The beds were really comfortable and the location is great to explore the city.
Unfortunately the lady behind the reception was really unfriendly and did not make us feel welcome at all. Furthermore the place is quite dirty. Kitchen, bathrooms, floors and sheets weren't really clean.

Nice place for the value, the separate beds with a courting for some privacy it's always a plus, the location it's nice, not far from the city center.
The bathrooms are kind of old an a little far from the rooms

There was not a secure place to lock up my belongings; there were lockers but they didn't have keys to lock them. This is not good when you have valuable electronics.

location. close to a big supermarket.
the shower was very good.
I found 2-3 live insects on my bed in the morning 🥲 do not want to think about what happened during my sleeping.

I liked that they lock the gate and doors at night, good air conditioning system in room.
no soap in toilets, holes in walls, leaking pipes, broken doors, generally unclean. glad I was only staying for one night. wasn’t a fan of the area either
8.0
The location is ok, even though a little noisy, very secure though.
I liked the coffin bunk beds a lot, I stayed in women's dorm and it was beautifully silent (no windows to the street).
There is a big supermarket just up the street, metro station nearby.
The lounge are has better potential but I'm just picking.

Nothing! This hostel is terrible!
I would not recommend anyone to stay at this hostel! The workers are very rude, not nice! They don't even say good morning! They look like their were traffic and they were forced to work there! The hostel is dirty! The bins in the toilets are running over! I left the hostel a day before because I ask some guests that was there to put down the volume of their movie that one of them was watching while people were sleeping, he got angry and told one of the workers who then told me that I was preventing guests from using their phone, which was not true! I decided to leave because things got really hectic and the staff was being very rude to me! They even charge for towels! Everything is old in this hostel, the building looks like it's going to break down from the inside!

Air con was nice and silent.
Was on good location.
They charge you an extra tax that doesn't show up on the booking details on the final price.
The staff could be more friendy, and should be on reception more often and/or answer more quickly.

Location is great, and the security is on point

good value for Panamá. location not too bad, everything just a short and cheap Uber ride away.
toilets and showers were unclean. no windows in the dorms, kitchen unclean with food left out. staff struggled to crack a smile. rooms were unbearable in the day when the AC was switched off. absolutely no atmosphere.
8.0
Decent location and really comfortable beds, quite private too
6.0
the beds reminded me of a Japanese capsule hotel - spacious enough and provide a lot of privacy
the balcony is nice to zip a beer in the evening
the staff stated to mop the floor and clean the bathroom (right next to my bed) 10 minutes before midnight without even attempting to be silent

Good location. AC in the dorm 👍🏼
