The hostel is very dirty and filled with mosquitos. No proper plugs in the rooms no lockers in the room and no mosquito nets. They come and turn off the AC at 8am

Close to the metro station and eateries. Property's website needs updating as directions provided were completely inaccurate. Would return to stay here if I ever visit Panama again.
