Nice vibes, cool staff and fair prices. The pool water is kind of dirty... All in all a really good place to stay. Staff is helpfull. 80-90 % of guests were from Israel who dont say good morning or hello and more likely stay among themselves. But this has nothing to do with the hostel, which was a great place to stay and to party ;)

I enjoyed my stay, it was my first time in a Hostel and the staff was very kind and helpful. I would ask that they unclog the bathroom sink, but that was my only negative experience, it was really good!

The hostel itself is in an awesome location. The building was cool, staff were a bit clicky but overall pretty nice. Awesome wifi, good breakfast. The pool was gross and I didn't see anyone attempt to swim in it. When I was in the diablo rooms there were bedbugs tho.....

Great Hostel, maybe the best In Panama actually. The staff cares, they do have a real client service. The dorms are clean, comfortable and do have aircon to survive the warm nights. The place is central just behind the big mall and closeby to the sea and close enough to reach the bar area without paying an expensive taxi. The place is also great to relax. There is a small swimming pool, and a garden to chill and enjoy the sun. I will definitely come back!

I had a nice stay at this hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the kitchen well equipped for your own cooking. However, the pool was not that clean and there are only two shared bathrooms when you sleep in the cheapest dorm. Some people spend a enormous amount of time in there so a few more would not hurt. Breakfast was included which was nice and a comfy television room!

The stay was great - the only thing I wasn't prepared for was that I couldn't pay with credit card although it said so on the hostelworld site. I hope they fixed it because it makes things a lot easier if you can actually have all the needed information beforehand. :)

Great Hostel overall. Pretty hard to find; the cab driver had a really hard time finding a place. They need better location/directions on their site. AMAZING place overall, especially the pool in the backyard!

This place was great! We arrived at 5 am and they let us crash on the couch, shower and store our bags for the day even though we weren't supposed to check in until noon. On our way out into the city, I asked for directions and the staff gave me a great map and a metro card with money on it! They were so helpful and accommodating... We couldn't have asked for anything more. It's in a great location, easy to jump on a bus and great atmosphere. Definitely recommend staying here!

This hostel is nice but there isn't much character. It is definitely clean but there is nothing unique about it. The staff was inconsistent with their charging policies. We were charged $5 per person for using their "facilities" when we arrived at 6:30 am and slept until 8:30am on the floor in the lobby. Breakfast was satisfactory.

Very nice hostel, really great location, close to two big shopping malls and lots of restaurants. It can be a little crowdy but I think that is normal for hostels. BIg lockers for your lugagge (bring your own padlock). WiFi sometimes was not functioning but they were working to fix it quickly. Great staff. In general, nice experience.

Great location, felt safe waking around at night, close to shopping & restaurants. Hostel itself was a pretty cool place, a huge house turned hostel, not super clean but good enough, free breakfast was pretty tasty even though its only toast and cereal, but hey who doesn't like at least one of the two!? And can't beat free ;) The pool was a little dirty but people were still swimming in it. Most of the guys that work there could have been more friendly. Good kitchen, fun ping pong & pool table!

I don't understand how this hostel had such a high rating, the basis on which I booked it. The place was fine, but almost twice the price of other hostels with comparable facilities. I also found that the hostel was very poor, compared with others, at advertising and explaining information about what could be done in Panama City. Perhaps it shouldn't be expected in a Spanish speaking area, but this was made harder by the fact that not all of the staff were easily conversant in English.

Negatives: not much to do in neighborhood, a little too 420 friendly for my taste, very click-y atmosphere, not great for those travelling alone or over the age of 26, no hand soap in bathrooms, very difficult to get up and down from the top bunk Positives: they sell snacks/ beer at very reasonable prices, nice pool and ping pong table, night manager ordered me a taxi very early in the morning, safe neighborhood

Make SURE you have the exact address of the place and area because I tried to come here when I first arrived in the city but the 2 separate cab drivers that drove me around had no f word idea where they were going. When I did arrive at this hostel after my journey around Panama I was super pleased. Beds were comfy, took a shower…clean and large, cool pool, and close to restaurants. I actually ended up feeling sick that day and decided it was best for me to get a private room somewhere else. My h
