great place to stay

the staff is very friendly. there is a great vibe at this place. we could hand in laundry evan before check in and got it back the same day. the pool area is nice to relax. we had a shower with hot water.

our room (privat) semlled of very old smoke. maybe it‘s because of the old carpet in the room.

Very social hostel

- very social hostel - nice terrace with pool - private room was big, clean, very comfortable and on the third floor, therefore very quiet - Staff nice and helpful - I liked the location, even though there is not really much in the area (except the rooftop bars in the skyscrapers) - Great supermarket right outside the door. But unfortunately no cheap restaurants.

- the fridge was an absolute mess, overcrowded and also a bit dirty. There was no room for our groceries. In the five days of our stay it was not even cleaned and tidied up. We would have liked to have cooked more in the evening, but if there is no room in the fridge for fruit and vegetables, then that is difficult. - The breakfast situation is also difficult. Everyone makes their own pancakes. That's not a problem and it's actually a good way to quickly get into conversation with others. On the other hand, it's very busy and slightly chaotic. I think it would be better if the staff could stand and prepare the pancakes.

Confortable y agradable

Muy amables ambos chicos en recepción que no recuerdo los nombres. La cama cómoda, la pile súper chill y me gusto la idea de hacer el desayuno.

económico y cómodo

El lugar es bien ubicado y económico. La cocina se mantiene limpio. La piscina es buena y me gustó el espacio de afuera.

El wifi no es tan confiable, yo estaba trabajando durante mi visita y estuvo un poco complejo. El camarote estuvo cómodo pero hacía muchísimo ruido cada vez que movía para acomodarme. Creo que debe ser fastidioso para las otras personas en el cuarto.

Not pleasant, bad value for money.

The property is not very clean, at all. There were cockroaches, I had a dirty private room, the shared kitchen is not hygienic either.

The lack of hygiene.

Cheap and cheerful, lovely staff

Nothing too fancy but a cheap, nice hostel that has a really relaxed and friendly vibe. Clean and spacious kitchen available to use. Cats! The staff (Frank + Matias) were absolute angels and were always happy to give advice and make our stay as nice as possible. They upgraded us to a private room for free on our last night. My friend loved the breakfast pancakes

it would be great if they started to accept card, as atm’s in panama charge super high fees. Maybe a more vegan friendly breakfast would also be great The AC in the room was very cold and there was no control, also curtains on the bed would be nice

So so. Location is great, but this place needs some deep cleaning and fresh air!

Great location and very comfortable hostal. Staff was wonderful

Boasts of parking, but it’s a small space that was full upon our arrival. The hallway smelled like someone urinated in it.

A good value hostal in a great area in Panama City. We had a private room which was really spacious and comfortable. We'd recommend to anyone on a budget in Panama 🙂

The owner and the staff was really nice and helpful, the vibe is so good, and it's feel like an oasis in the city, definitely I will come back when in Panama City again. Greetings to Oswaldo and Matias! Hope to come back soon.

Everything was good for me.

Really cool hostel!

everything! such a cool hostel. unfortunately, I could only stay one night.

Location can be good or bad depending on where you want to go. it’s very central in bella vista but it’s. 3-4$ uber ride to casco viejo, which is fine

good value for money

nice cheap hostel. good value for money. the location between the skyscapers is really cool. make-your-own-pancake breakfast is nice & sociable event.

showers are next to the kitchen, which is a bit strange / awkward sometimes :)

Perfect for a short stay

The location was good because it was a short stay for a layover. 15 mins to get to the airport. It was close enough to walk to Cinta Costera, a beautiful walk along the water. it was right across from a market and restaurants. The pool area/outdoor space was nice. The staff was amazingly kind.

The kitchen wasn’t intuitive; it was hard to find things for cooking because it is small. But as long as not a lot of people, no big!

Really clean and lovely vibe hostel. They let us leave our bagpacks and pick them back up and use facilities after Sand Blas. The breakfast is great, you just sometimes have to wait a while to cook the pancakes if lots of people are awake.

There wasn't much room to put your bags in the dorm. There were lots of mosquitos in the pool table area for some reason and we all got bitten, so it would be good if they lit something.

Lovely hostel with pool

Lovely pool with seating around it. Free water and pancakes for breakfast. Staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. Safe location.

Our private room was on the ground floor near the kitchen which meant there was constant noise from 7am onwards. Also the shower and toilet are not separate which means you often have to wait to use the toilet for a long time.

Pleasant

Lounge area was nice. Staff was good. AC worked well.

The room was really untidy, shower only got cold water. The bed was missing a few woodcovers under The mattress. Breakfast with The self-made pancakes was a fun idea, but there was not much to put on top of the pancakes. No Juice etc included, If we knew that, we would've brought our own. Kitchen was really untidy.
