The most beautiful part of Panama City is Casco Viejo, the old part of Panama's capital and right here, at Plaza Herrera, you will find this great Hostel. 3 stories high, almost all rooms have a balcony and great views. A huge roof terrace allows you to see the Puente Americana, the ocean, the Causeway , lots of roof tops... More

The location in Casco Viejo is awesome! There are a couple great bars right in Plaza Herrera. The hostel is in great shape and the staff was overall very helpful. There are so many fantastic museums and buildings in the area. You could spend the day wandering the streets of Casco Viejo. The best part of this hostel is the... More

Stayed here for two nights and must say I enjoyed it very much: good price, very very clean, nice receptionists and pleasant social areas. They made my room every day and were not stingy about changing my towel. I recommend it highly.

We took a nice private room with a shared bathroom overlooking the square for three nights. The bed is great. It's a good deal considering you can't really get anything comparable in Casco Veijo. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We're leaving for Bocas tomorrow and are coming back for our last night in Panama City..Definetly recommended!

I went travelling for two weeks in the States and Panama with my bf and this was by far the most horrendous place we stayed at. Granted it was cheap but (a) the staff were unfriendly and useless if you ask me i.e. we asked for toilet paper and the receptionist could not find it, she then told us to... More

we had booked a room (and received a confirmation) for our arrival but when we arrived from the airport there was no room for us. As it was late (10pm) all the hostels/hotel were booked and after wandering around for more than 2 hours we ended in taking a taxi and found an hotel in another area...

I would like to give the Panamericana a "good" instead of just an "average" but in comparison with other hostels I have reviewed there were too many "but"s... We stayed in a dorm room for one night before moving in a private room (shared bathroom) and stayed for a week, so we got a pretty good impression of this place... More

For $13, you get: 1) no spoons (or other dishes) 2) no sheets on half of the beds 3) no curtains 4) lots of light outside 5) not a good location 6) random staff turning on the dorm lights at night and talking as if nobody is asleep
