The room we were staying in qas so comfortable. It was pitch black at night so we had a fantastic sleep. The Air Con was brilliant. Stephanie, the owner, was so so friendly and helpful and really got us out of a little hole we were in. She didn't have to but went above and beyond to be as helpful as she could be. So very grateful for this. We will pass through again in a few months and will definitely stay again as the hostel was perfect. All that you want in a hostel.

The hostel was very nice. The private room had very effective air conditioning, the kitchen was great. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. We arrived early in the day before check in and they let us hang out in the communal spaces for the day.

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.

All hostels in Panama City

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

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.
