Don't expect much of the pool, and don't come here with a car, parking is terrible around the location.

Perfect stay for a budget stay. We stayed here the last night before we flew back home, short night and basically needed a place to sort out our stuff and clean ourselves up after some weeks of wild camping. Friendly personnel, quite good beds, nice atmosphere around.

On our last day, the whole Panama City didnt have water. There was no solution on the part of the hostel. But its okay. we managed to take a bath in the evening.

Walking distance to main road ( Hopon/hopoff). The Staff were very helpful. Wifi is very strong.

Breakfast was minimal and I noticed other people got way more than I did. I might be small but doesn't mean I eat little. Asked for a lower bunk due to medical condition prior to arrival and they said sure. But when I arrived, there was no lower bunk available. There wasn't a ladder attached to the upper bunk. Just movable stair that everyone had to share. In the middle of night when I needed a bathroom, I ended up falling from the bed and waking up other people. There were some bugs in the room(not bed bug). They bit me quite a bit and caused bad itches on arms, legs and face.

Value for money and spacious room. The doggo added to the pleasant experience Had to sleep in the upper bunk for one night. But they moved me to a lower bunk the next day.

Good location

Stayed in December 2024

No towel provided. No AC on during the day so dont expect to escape the heat. Only accepts cash.

There were curtains to encapsulate the dorm bed. Power outlet in the dorm bed. Relaxing atmosphere. Theres also a tattoo studio inside the hostel if you want to go loco.

Stayed in December 2024

There could be some more space in dormitory room to guard your things.

The Hostel has a well-equipped kitchen, the staff is doing their best to keep it clean all the time. There are nice common areas and big lockers. The capsules have a curtain and an outlet The best is actually the atmosphere, as the people working there take care of everyone.

Stayed in November 2024

The staff is very friendly. Lots of volunteers there who actually first seem like guests. The best guy is Sonya from the tattoo shop. The swimming pool was clean and was not very occupied. The bus stop is just a few mins away. The bus goes to other parts of the city and also to albrook terminal. The air con worked well between 8pm and 8am.

Stayed in October 2024

The kitchen is not very clean but acceptable.

I like the atmosphere and the staff.

Stayed in July 2024

No window in my room but restrictions on air con so room became stifling The air con stopped working and the city is very hot and humid One broken toilet No bedside light

Great location Decent breakfast included Helpful staff

Stayed in July 2024

The AC only works between 8pm and 8am, so it can be pretty hot and humid during the day in the room. My body was not accustomed to the climate, so I kept sweating, which was uncomfortable. A small fan per bed would’ve been a massive help…!

The staff was nice and I liked the pool outside. A free towel was very helpful!

Stayed in July 2024

My bunk didn't have a privacy curtain, whilst I got used to it, you might want to get that fixed as my bunk was the only one without one. I also didn't like the get in and out system I didn't like having to wait for someone to buzz me in

The location was really good, it was very comfortable, the staff were really helpful

I had a great time at the Panama Experience. The beds, even in the bigger dormitory, are one of the most comfortable hostel beds I had. The hostel is really communal and it’s easy to make a lot of friends. Everybody was respectful and nice. The staff is going out of their way to make sure that you feel good and welcomed in Panama! During my trip I got sick and people cared for me and made sure I was alright! You can also book tours in the hostel, as well as get cheap drinks and good food. All in all it was a wonderful experience . A real Panama experience

Stayed in May 2024

The bed was for me a bit to soft and poorly the Room was a bit small so it was difficult to deal with all the baggage of all the people.

Very nice Hostel with several bathrooms, a pool, a kitchen and Tabletennis. The Staff was really friendly and giving advices if possible and helping with getting a taxi. The Room was really clean and quiet.
