A real hidden gem. 🤩 Incredibly friendly staff, clean rooms and super friendly vibes! I had a fantastic stay here for 2 nights, and almost considered extending my departure date just to catch up with everyone for longer! Plenty of seating, lots of in-house activities available such as ping-pong, pool, etc. And lots of walkable options as well.. including restaurants, convenience stores, and shops. Can't say enough good things about this place. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The hostel was overall pretty mediocre very loud at times especially during the night. The staff were mildly polite at best especially the maids, but not especially welcoming or helpful. The room was acceptable for a short stay, though nothing stood out in terms of comfort or cleanliness. There were lots of games there if that's what you wanted out of the experience. The biggest disappointment was the breakfast and the pets running around cat climbing on top of tables which pretty gross— there were barely any options available, and what was there was very limited and underwhelming. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but definitely not somewhere I’d go out of my way to stay again.The owner was especially nice and polite. As well as the jamaican gentleman that checked me. Those 2 individuals stood out cause they were very respectful and truly looked like they appreciated my stay.

There were lots of friendly pets - dogs, cats, and birds (although the birds woke us up most mornings)! And best of all, the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

We understood this to be more like a hostel than your typical Airbnb or hotel stay. We did have our own room and bathroom and everything was very clean. It has a hostel-feel to it and is community oriented. It is not updated. The staff are very kind and accommodating. We really appreciated our time here and will recommend it to others who are looking for affordable short-term housing.

Chose to stay at Panama House Bed and Breakfast simply due to its location being close to a Metro (train station) so I could cheaply and easily get there from the airport. I also used the same Metro (Argentina) to go all the way to the end of Red Line (Albrook station), then cross the highway via overpass (signed) to the bus station where I caught bus C810.to Panama Canal. After overpass go down to ground level and street at back between shopping centre, go to the right (Yellow C section) and look for Miraflores on both the bus and sign above where it stops. Only costs a few US dollars to use Metro and Metro buses. Way cheaper than tours.

It is a hostel that seems to have more permanent residents than backpackers. So lacked that aspect of meeting fellow travelers to explore with you look for with a hostel. Also only two toilets and one shower (which is in same room as one of the toilets). Toilet and shower didn't have locks on own doors but you could lock the outside door. So you're wondering if other people are busting to go when using those. No dorm room key.

When I arrived the owner who seemed annoyed he was interrupted from playing music with some of the permanents asked me to pay for the room even though it was already paid for. He then after I showed him reservation where it says I paid, looked up his computer agreed I had paid through Expedia (um no I did it here through Wotif).

Also has some large birds in cages that make a lot of noise early morning.

An Oasis In A Busy City

This was a lovely hostel. Me and my friend felt extremely safe and calm here. The host was amazing, she gave us recommendations and always had a huge smile on her face. Me and my friend shared a double bedroom which had aircon and a view onto the pet parrot and parakeets. The complimentary breakfast was yummy and just what we needed. This is a great hostel if you are wanting a little oasis from the hustle and bustle of Panama City! The only suggestion would be to bring your own hand soap as there wasn’t any in the bathroom :)

close to metro and easy to get to everywhere

If you are looking for a more quiet place to stay. This is the place. Not too many travelers. the location is good. It is very close to metro station and easy to get to wherever you want. From airport, you can buy a metro card using the kiosk next to the exit door in lower level. Usually there is someone there to help. there are 2 kiosks on each door. the cost is $3 + $2 fare. You can take the E489 bus right outside the terminal to nearest metro station. From there you can get to where ever you want. Everything about the hostel is good except the parrots. just too noisy in the early morning. But you will get used to it. It is perfect place to stay and plan your next journey. I stayed 5 days and like it there. the place is clean and has AC. There is also laundry service in the hostel. The only person who speak English is the owners. They are very friendly. Internet is good. There is no tour desk so you have to figure out everything yourself. Of cause owner will try to help out but they usually are pretty busy. It is close to clinic in case you need to see a doctor. There are few convenience stores near by where you can buy groceries. Overall I like the hostel and will stay there again. If you are looking for a party or to meet many travelers, this might not be the best option. there is no sign outside the hostel when I was there so you need GPS to find the location. right cross the street is a restaurant.

The owner is welcoming and makes you feel like family. We had a problem with where we were going to staying on the Caribbean side, we came crawling home and our room was available. Only negative I would say was their barking dog. First two nights were really noisy with other guests (I think one worker was involved too), but as soon as we brought it to the owners attention, the problem was taken care of. Would definitely go back.

The property is a flagship of adventure of meeting new people from all over the world. If you are into this kind of thing and making sure you never eat breakfast alone, then this is for you. If you are a Hilton or Hyatt type of person who values comfort over human interaction, then perhaps this place isn’t for you. The owner goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and at home. She is the most genuine and warm person you would ever meet.

We did not eat lunch or dinner there but the smells from the kitchen were wonderful. We met tourists from other hostels and locals enjoying dinner and drinks on the front porch.
