This place is kinda average. We enjoyed the breakfast and air conditioning, but it was kinda dirty. Also only had one bathroom to share between many people. Central area was a plus.

This place is awesome! perfect location in a nice part of the city. The Argentinian owners are fun and awesome as well. Has a pool, pool table, ping pong and the best kitchen i've ever seen in a hostel. We had a great 4 days here!

Enjoyed staying at Los Mostros. It is a nice, clean hostel with big bathrooms. There are many restaurants within walking distance. The staff, especially Matti, were all very friendly and helpful.

Although the facilities are really good for what you're paying, the atmosphere was a bit muted. No real interaction encouraged or activities. The pool was a non event - dirty & unused. The staff were ok, but didn't really go out of there way to help you out.

I thought the hostel needed to be cleaner. The staff was very cordial, and always willing to help. The place was overbooked when I first arrived, which meant more crowding.

This is one of the nicest Hostels I've stayed in. The place is large, the people are very friendly and I will be sure to return in the future.

Me and my sister stayed for a day and were excited that we were going to meet so many new people. When we got their. It was very clean and had a lot to offer. What we've noticed with bigger hostels is that everyone just sticks to themselves and their own corners and no one likes to really interact. The staff was there for when you needed them but nothing more. If there's anything I'd change is just the interaction. Between staff and those staying at the hostels.

Brilliant hostel. After 5 months of traveling around Europe and South America I can safely say this was one, if not my favourite, of the best hostels. Panama doesn't have much to tempt you but this hostel will help you enjoy the city way more especially with the pool, air conditioning, lovely staff, location (for sure!) and the nice people that were also staying there. Definitely a place to stay.

Very nice hostel; cool people.. When I was there it was pasta night and I got to meet a lot of people there. Only bad thing is the 10 people dorm.. Don't get a bed by the stairs, it's very noisy and warm at night.
