    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.

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

    The owner (Carlos) is a very helpful person. The hostel is positioned in a good neighborhood with lots of shops nearby

    The hostel is actually has a decently well equipped kitchen and the room i stayed in had a nice ensuite bathroom which was cool. The pool out the back is cool and the neighborhood has a lots of diverse cafes and restaurants.

    Nice location, felt safe to move around, close to the bus stops. Breakfast is included, the girl was ready to serve it but really simple and poor.. If you need they have towels. There is a swimming pool, really good and needed but it was dirty after two days.. Ac in the room, if it works..

    Unfortunately I've read about bed bugs before but I gave it a try.. I've checked but as soon I sit on the bed there was one on the courtains.. The owner was in the hostel at that time, he gave me money back, he offered me to pay me another hostel but I was so tired that I just wanted to change room and be sure it was clean. I appreciated it. One day the whole city was with no water and we didn't know. The owner bought drinkable water but I wasn't informed until the evening. The problem where the toilets.. completely clogged all of them the whole day.. imagine... Weird vibe Not enough lockers Ac not always working

    It was in a good location and was perfectly functional. We only were there to stay the night and leave early the next day and it was fine for that.

    The property just felt a bit dirty. Bathroom didn’t have a lock, our beds didn’t have curtains when everyone else’s did, and the pool looked a bizarre colour. Also the atmosphere of the hostel made us feel slightly uncomfortable.

    Location.

    Sent three emails regarding arrival time. None of the staff even looked at them. "Breakfast" is one scrambled egg, one fried biscuit, coffee Appropriate for a mouse, not a human. Better off fixing my own. It was known for 3 days that an air conditioner was going out. No one did a thing. On my last night there it finally failed completely. So hot in room, could not sleep.

    First I do apologize in advance because I don't get the name of the person at the office when I reach the hostal. I was over the time frame to access the hostal however the attention exceed my spectations. Quiet room even that was full, AC the right temperature, bathroom clean. The stray dog was nice and gives security, by the way my car was outside on the street and nothing went wrong. Thanks unknown staff member for caring and assists me.

    I didn't like the fact that had to work and can't stay a little more. Definitely I'll come back to try the bar and why not have a conversation with a total stranger.

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

    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.
