Absolutely loved this place, I would give it 160% if it were possible. Staff are always helpful and knowledgeable and offer many suggestions for your stay. Nice large kitchen, TV area, and patio area. Even the 12 bed dorm was large. Pancake breakfast included was delicious. The computers were new and internet was speedy. Very cool and social hostel. Well-located in the city. Have been recommending it to other travellers heading to Panama City & no doubt I will stay here again definitely!

Awesome staff - not the most choice neighborhood but the environment was top notch. A great place to start a trip around Panama or to crash for a few weeks at at ime!

Stayed there during a vaction to Panama. Was going to give up on trying Hostels but wanted to give it one more shot! This place was awesome! I needed somewhere clean(pet peeve!) And this place was very clean. The staff was very helpfull and the owner was especially cool. There was plenty of info available and its a great jumping off spot to go anywhere else. Defiantly take the city tour with Rafeal which they will hook you up with! I would tellmy family to stay there!! Patrick 30 Los Angeles

A great base if you are wanting to visit Panama City, San Blas etc Really helpful will arrange your trip to San Blas, you can store your big bag in the storage area for free & only take a small bag when doing the side trips.A nice chilled out environment to hang about in, have a puppy & cat to really make you feel at home. Private room was fine, enough room for 2 peoples junk, air con.Security on door at night.Close enough to most the sights.The area very typical for Latin America, get used to!

The place is well organised and staffed and worthy of its fine rating ... the multiple common areas make it easy to interact with all the good natured travelers that the place attracts.

The hostel had a really good vibe and we were really grateful for the way they were able to accommodate us when our bus arrived at 3am in the morning rather than 7am [even though they were full]. They gave us a bed as soon as 1 became available and were really responsive to our situation. Thanlk you!

Great place to stay, mainly because of the people and staff. Location is central. Not extremely clean, but clean enough. We had a good time.
