Lovely hostel, but so so hot
The hostel was great, with nice areas to hang out in and a fun bar downstairs. Free towels were a nice plus. I still probably wouldn't stay again, simply because I found the room to be so hot I couldn't sleep. There were 2 ceiling fans but only one was working and it wasn't enough to make a difference to how hot the room was. Each bed also has a small fan but mine was broken, which didn't help!

Great space
Aweomse place, lovely large spaces. Nice large and airy dorm. Only negative was a very creaky bunk bed next to me with a very restless occupant tossing and turning all night. Bonus though that you can ask to borrow a towel for free and also there are free bikes to use too.

Charming hostel
Location: Not only is this hostel right in Casco Viejo and only a few mins walk from all the attraction, it also has a very open and inviting vibe. Room: The dorm bed has a curtain so that is a big plus. They also have an onsite cleaning crew that cleans bathrooms and showers constantly so I never had to hold my breath like some of the hotels I stayed prior to this one in Panama. Restaurants: There are many restaurants and shops around. If you are looking for local cheap eats like myself, the fish market is only 10 mins walk away. Transportation accessibility: It is also not far away from the airport express bus route 480 (bus fare is only $1.25 compares to $30 taxi or Uber ride to the airport) The only thing I don’t like about my stay was that people played loud music way beyond midnight and they started the whole thing again 7 am in the morning. Bring earplugs to have a less disturbing sleep.
