The experience was nearly flawless. Steffy makes her guests feel like a part of the family. In fact, it is beyond a family feel as she helps her guests out with any and all questions. I would highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location is really quite close to the aiport as well as some great facilities. The room was very comfortable, honestly the bwd was so comfy, I slept as well here (if not better) than in some much more up-marked hotels. It was a real plus point for me. The room is basic but it literally has everything you need and the whole place has a cheerful vibe about it. On the basis of this stay, for the price....it's an exceptional find and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Looks like adapted old luxury villa - we got big (triple) room with separate closet room and huge bathroom with ancient bathtub. Patio with small swimming pool (water did not look very clean, though), public kitchen. Everything safe, fenced around. Good WiFi. Surprisingly convenient place, also quiet, located in small side street. Several food places (Subway, Burger King, chinese fast food) in the parallel street. About 5km (uber 3-4 USD) to old town, 10km to Miraflores Center at Panama Channel.

- 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.

Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.

The best hostel in Panama city. Its located in a central area close to many points of interest and accessible by taxi. The reception is great and helpful with information and also the check in was seamless. The hostel is a great place to meet other travelers and you can prepare your own meals. I loved my time there and would definitely recommend for other travelers.
