Great location on Punta Pacifica, close to malls and public transportation. Staff was very friendly and helped with orientation to the city, transportation, calling uber for me and allowing me a late check out.

Brilliant hostel to stay in. Staff super friendly and helpful. We were the oldest there 55 and 67, but we had a great time and met some lovely people. Would recommend staying here. It was close to all main places. Even had a swimming pool. We had a private room with our own bathroom. Breakfast supplied was banana pancakes which you cooked yourself. Coffee and water was also supplied.

Café da manhã é uma ração branca ianque doce, onde a banana era o melhor por ser a única coisa fresca. Venezuelanos do receptivo foram muito prestativos e contornaram com excelência as dificuldades que tive no hostel.

Staff very friendly and the laundry service is really a plus. It's a very noise area and the music that they generally play, is loud and some times not pleasant

Excelente ubicación para la cual armamos el viaje. Staff muy amable y servicial. Nuestra estadía fue cómoda y esperamos no haber causado incomodidades a otros huéspedes. Solamente tener el cuidado de hacer limpieza diaria como dice en su descripción pues estuvimos 3 noches 3 personas y la canasta/ basura del baño jamás fue recogida, ni las toallas o cubrecamas cambiados. Encontramos el cuarto aparentemente limpio hicimos un checkin pasada la media noche y encontramos cabello de los huéspedes anteriores en la regadera. Esperamos lo tomen en consideración porque aparte de eso, todo bien. Gracias.

バックパッカーが多く集まり、雰囲気はすごく良かったです。 ただ満員の部屋に泊ったので、荷物を置くスペースがほとんどなく部屋が荷物であふれており窮屈でした。。。。

部屋やリネンなど清潔感がとてもありました。また、スーパーからも近く、立地も良かったです。 ホステス自体は落ち着いた雰囲気で、リラックスしてる人も多く、居心地もとても良く感じました。

My first time staying in a hostel. Had arranged for a taxi, but found my way there. Staff were wonderful, my room was basic and clean. Bed was fine, shower worked well. Breakfast was pancakes you make for yourself. Really appreciated the shopping plaza around the corner. My taxi to go to the airport was even 10 minutes and waited as again the staff helped me bring down my bags. Overall a very nice, clean place to stay!!

This was a nice location for me getting into Panama City late Saturday night. Was able to check in at 11p walk to the supermarket to load up on groceries that night. The next morning was able walk to the Trump hotel to catch the early Sunday morning Ferry Las Perlas to Isla Saboga. Breakfast not available for us early risers which was a disappointment but it did have free WiFi
