I couldn’t imagine a better place to stay than this. The staff is the kindest and nicest you can find, and they made me feel part of the family since the very first moment, trying their best in helping me -you can tell they have travelled a lot. The room was super clean, the bed comfy, the toilet very modern. and was furnished with A/C. I loved the owner’s personal touch in decorating the hostel with her own art.

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 hostel was very nice. The private room had very effective air conditioning, the kitchen was great. The staff were very friendly and accomodating. We arrived early in the day before check in and they let us hang out in the communal spaces for the day.

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.

- very social hostel - nice terrace with pool - private room was big, clean, very comfortable and on the third floor, therefore very quiet - Staff nice and helpful - I liked the location, even though there is not really much in the area (except the rooftop bars in the skyscrapers) - Great supermarket right outside the door. But unfortunately no cheap restaurants.

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.

The best hostel in Panama city. Its located in a central area close to many points of interest and accessible by taxi. The reception is great and helpful with information and also the check in was seamless. The hostel is a great place to meet other travelers and you can prepare your own meals. I loved my time there and would definitely recommend for other travelers.
