Hostel The Pod 33

The hostel is in a good location, with a supermarket next door and a short walk away from the main areas. The pod style beds were good, however my plug didn’t work so was unable to charge my phone inside and my friend’s light didn’t work, the room itself also had an unpleasant smell the entire stay. We were the only backpackers in this hostel at the time, as the rest of the guests seemed to be staying there long term. The atmosphere wasn’t the best and there was no social aspect to this hostel

This hostel is good if you are in Panama City for a day or two. The location is nice and feels secure. Supermarket right next door. Very quick to get down to the waterfront where u can walk to the old town. Hostel itself is not social. Not very clean. I did not use the kitchen due to this but the Showers were okay. Pod beds are nice and private. I arrived at 5 am and they let me sleep on the couch which was good. It’s also possible to check out super early.

Perfect stay on a budget. The staff were so nice and accommodating. They allowed us to keep our bags whilst we visited San Blas Islands. Amazing people. Thank you!
