I'd call this place home. Stefany is the most special host I've ever met. She treats everyone absolutely wholeheartedly, helps you in every possible way, even integrates your life into hers by bringing you a lot of love from both her and her family members.. She is capable of all that simply because she loves what she's doing, it's her life instead of just a job.. I'd definitely come back to my "home" no matter how far away I am.. It's a place where all of your worries go away the moment you enter, because she does all the worries for you.. 😄😄😆😆

Home away from home. This hostel was made with you, the traveler, in mind. Nelson is genuinely helpful and has a lot of soul. We came back to the hostel for the vibe, the comfort and the people who tend to it. Generous fridges, cool terrace where you can have a drink, a smoke and a chat. Everything is spotless and Nelson cooks a delicious breakfast every morning. Most hospitable place we've been to in a month of traveling through Panama. Love you guys!

Good value of money, great location (close to the metro) and the city center is only 30 min by walk on the promenade. Everybody is helpful and the property is calm, I had a good sleep after my long flight.

Very clean, good location, very comfortable rooms if you get the room with the balcony or the queen room, which has a fridge and a kitchenette (me and my friend got one each). All utilities work well. They stored our luggage for several hours after check-out. All in all a very good experience when we booked these rooms and had the fridge and the private balcony between us.

All hostels in Panama City

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
