Very nice hostel in a good location! Staff is awesome, i had a little issue but they solved it quickly. Beds are comfortable and hot shower all the time. Highly reccomended!
I was only there one night, and was able to find a few conviennent store spots to buy a few supplies.
I would definitely stay there again,
The staff was friendly and helpful,
Lotsa nice areas on the property,
In the dorms each bed has a fan on a switch and curtains.
I found it had a little extra thought and care put into over other hostels I've stayed at
This place never disappoints. It’s a great economy place to stay. It is clean, pretty quiet and the coffee is good.
They also offer a breakfast in the morning.

Hotel front desk staff are terrible and meanful. The Venezuelan girl at front knows little or nothing about customer service.
What a terrible experience.
L’hébergement bien placé, accueil 24/24 très pratique.chambre très propre à l’étage agréable et calme .
Cependant le petit déjeuner le plus mauvais jamais servi à Panamá City en 4 ans ! Et pour cause le café servi dans un gobelet en plastique imbuvable dans un pays où l’ont fait l’un des meilleurs café sur hexagone c’est dommage …mini mini pan cakes sans sirop pas de confiture ni beurre absolument rien et vous avez de l’ananas voilà ! Le petit déjeuner 3 articles . Ni jus fruits ni pain RIEN ! Et en plus vous avez l’employé sur son telephone portable le volume assez fort à regarder ses vidéos !!! Qui ne se pose pas la question si cela dérange les clients qui se réveillent.
Donc si vous appréciez le petit déjeuner et en plus le calme à 8h ne venez pas ici .
C’est la première fois que je suis aussi déçu .. résultat j’ai été prendre mon petit déjeuner au restaurant
Petit Paris à 5 mns à pied de l’hôtel . Croissants et excellent café .🙂.
The address listed at hotels.com was wrong. Fortunately someone was near the "old site" and gave us directions (sort of). Since we had an unexpected prolonged walk, we were caught in a tropical rain storm, and on arrival (drenched) a 3% surcharge was added for using a credit card (not mentioned). Housing was simple, small, a bit cramped, but adequate for price. Phot0 of room did not match at all. People friendly, room cleaning during stay non-existent. All and all, ok backpacker's place
Un buen hostel, super económico para la zona en la que se encuentra. El dueño da tips sobre los lugares que puedes conocer con o sin tour. Son muy amables, la limpieza es buenísima y puedes disfrutar una tarde en la alberca :)
