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.. 😄😄😆😆

Both hosts were incredibly friendly. Even though we didn't stay for that long, my husband and I got to talk and share a little bit with Juan, who was very kind and welcoming. This hostel truly is a hidden gem from where you see it. Beds are comfy, AC is great, kitchen is more than equipped and clean, breakfast was delicious. Thank you Maria Julia and Juan for everything 🫶🏽

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location is really quite close to the aiport as well as some great facilities. The room was very comfortable, honestly the bwd was so comfy, I slept as well here (if not better) than in some much more up-marked hotels. It was a real plus point for me. The room is basic but it literally has everything you need and the whole place has a cheerful vibe about it. On the basis of this stay, for the price....it's an exceptional find and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Looks like adapted old luxury villa - we got big (triple) room with separate closet room and huge bathroom with ancient bathtub. Patio with small swimming pool (water did not look very clean, though), public kitchen. Everything safe, fenced around. Good WiFi. Surprisingly convenient place, also quiet, located in small side street. Several food places (Subway, Burger King, chinese fast food) in the parallel street. About 5km (uber 3-4 USD) to old town, 10km to Miraflores Center at Panama Channel.

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.
