Perfectly located in the "Cangrejo" district - very central with supermarkets and a bus station down the road. Staff are friendly and the hostel has a good atmosphere. They charge 10% "tax" on top of the announced price, though. My dorm was quite small - you could hardly walk between the bunk beds.

I stayed 1 night in this hostel. The district is safety and enough nice, there are a lot of shops and restaurant nearby. The hostel is on the 5th floor of the RINA building, is very quite and clean. Staff is friendly and good. The quality/price ratio is good. I can recommend this hostel for those who want to spend a few days in Panama City where most of the hostels are located in the Calidonia district which is quite dangerous at night

Nice enough place, but not very sociable (some of the staff didn't seem like they wanted to work there at all). Helpful with locations and very central. I don't think I would stay there again as I prefer a more social atmosphere, but if you want somewhere quiet where you can have some down time it would be great.

Not to bad, but as a solo traveller i was hoping that as the website had stated was that it was easy to find, no big banner just a small intercom to identify the hostel, which was not great at 11 at night as a female. WIFI available although no working computers so no internet if you were travelling without a computer. Weird bathrooms, no locks just curtains, (meat defrosting on the bench of the bathroom i used!!!) bed ok, sheets average. kind of quiet, not great for meeting new people
