I booked a couple of nights here but ended up staying one night as I found accommodations with some friends. And the one night I had booked, I didn't even sleep there, so my review will be limited in scope. I walked around the area for a bit though and it was ok; there are areas that should be avoided,...

I agree with Welshie22's review. After reading this review, I decided to pack ear plugs. You're going to need it. The hostel is rundown. As Ania Z points out, the shower water is indeed cold. It's in a quaint, work-in-progress neighborhood. Parts of this area, however, are a bit desolate and dangerous at night. Other parts are gorgeous with attractive... More

We arrived quite late at night in Panama City after a bus delay. This was literally the only option for me and my boyfriend, and even then we had to share a single bed! The shared bathroom was unclean, the bin in the bathroom was overflowing with used toilet paper. Don't waste your money - stay at the 'sister' hostal... More

This place was a very nice, no frills place to stay in Casco Viejo. The security was great, the location was great, our room was clean. The shower was cold and uncomfortable, but the room was $25 a night, so not a surprise. Free wifi. It fit our needs perfectly.

Stayed here for a night only since it was a busy season and every single place was packed. They had a room free even though we popped up out of nowhere. Me and my boyfriend stayed in one of the second floor rooms (might be third since reception is in a second floor already). Room had high ceiling and the... More

This is the cheapest option. BUT..... Run by locals i get the impression this hostel feels as though it can charge similar prices to the other big hostels in the area whilst offering very little apart from fast Internet. Cold showers Water ran out in shower Leaking room Noisy at night All this for a dollar cheaper per person. Needs... More

After reading all of the bad reviews and this place being the only one with a free private in our budget range, we decided to give it a go. I read this place is basic, lets say it only has a bed in the room - that's it. And it was quite comfortable actually! The shared bathrooms are a nightmare.... More

ok the place isn't too clean or organized, however staying in places in Casco Viejo is expensive, and this is the cheapest one that maintains some decency, at least they have good customer service. So I rate this place for the price, and because I know other hotels in Casco Viejo and I am aware of the options.

Not good-dirty, noisy, no glass in window, no communal area, dirty kitchen. Probably in top 5 worst hotels I've stayed. Actually left after one night and moved to hostel owned by same people-is new-hostel americana. Went and looked at Magnolia Inn and that looked lovely but was full.

We had a reservation at this hostel for our first night in Panama City and swore never to return. When we arrived, nobody was at the front desk so we were left outside on the street, ringing the doorbell for 10-15 minutes. Not very welcoming. The front desk lady was very friendly, spoke great English, but seemed confused about our... More
