The experience was nearly flawless. Steffy makes her guests feel like a part of the family. In fact, it is beyond a family feel as she helps her guests out with any and all questions. I would highly recommend this hostel for solo travelers.

this hostal is great! spacious common areas with 2 terraces and a pool area. the dorms had good storage for the bags, big beds and curtains! we had a 10 people dorm but it felt as 4 because it was so spacious. probably the cleanest hostel I’ve been to! the bus stops just 300m from the hostel and also the metro is not far away!

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 🫶🏽

Awesome hostel if you want to social but not party. It’s a great hostel for solo travellers. The staff was so friendly and helped me a lot when planning my trip. Also the common area is great to meet people - we love staying there to chat . Everyone I met there was so friendly and interesting.

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.
