The manager, Nelson and the cleaner Maria Cristina were so friendly and hard working. Nelson offered so many suggestions such as a cheap local gym, what to do in Panama City and even found us a driver for our subsequent trip to Colombia. The free breakfast cooked by Nelson was a great touch, particularly the Colombian huevos pericos and arepas he made. The dorms were great and super private, all having a sliding door to become a capsule. The kitchen was well stocked and always clean, probably the best hostel kitchen we’ve used in Central America. The hammocks on the terrace were great to relax in.

This is a you get what you pay for type of place. It's great value for money, but by no means the cleanest or the most comfy. I was able to use the washing machine and dryer for a fee which was nice. There is AC. The staff were very kind and helpful, they even kept my bag for free for a few nights whilst I was in San Blas (I was coming back to stay here again). The location is good - you can walk to the metro, there are a few shops and ATMs around and Cinta Costera is close too. They accept card payments.

The hostel location is great just few minutes from the Via Argentina station, super easy to do everything and as well to reach Tocumen Airport. Nice travellers to meet there, good vibes. Their system with digital locks is amazing and it makes a secure place. It's very appreciated to have pancakes included for the price. They have a great book with all informations needed to visit and you can as well contact them via whatsapp to help you with everything you need. It's clean there, totally disagree with some reviews I read.

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.
